Table Rules

1. Level Up on Long Rest

2. Please roll for character ability scores.

3. Naming conventions for NPCs will follow the book's racial guides for naming. Human NPCs in the Lightpoint Lands, especially around Dominion settlements, will tend to have Americanized, Old West names, but naming conventions are otherwise wide open.

4. Feats and multi-classing are a go. All Races from the books above are a go. Customization options for races, classes, etc, using guidelines from those books are a probable go, but let's chat about it because this is my first time DMing and I am easily confused.

5. Watch out for rattlesnakes.

 

Duels in the Lightpoint Lands

A tradition originating from the city of Ejavol, duels as a method of resolving disagreements have spread throughout the Lightpoint Lands. A traditional duel, sometimes called a Ejavol Debate, must involve 2 pistols(pg 268 of the DM Guide.) Participants stand twenty paces apart, their pistols holstered. After that, all bets are off; the first person to shoot and injure their opponent wins the duel, and if their opponent is killed, all the better. In duels where both or neither competitor is injured or killed, the issue is not resolved, and oftentimes these degenerate into fights to the death.

To resolve a duel, participants roll opposing initiative checks, followed by attack rolls. The participant with the higher initiative attacks first, and if their attack hits but does not kill their opponent, the second participant receives a -5 to their attack roll. If the duel has a definitive winner, the participants must abide by the results of the duel or have their honor tainted. Duels, such as they even occur as far east as the Lightpoint Lands, are considered illegal by the Goldtown Settlement Authority.

Player Character Introduction

 

You were born in the massive Empire known as the Fountain Dominion. For five hundred years, a vicious military dictator has wielded power. Purges and flare ups of civil strife are the norm, and the most recent rounds of violence have been especially brutal.

 

On the western edge of the Dominion, Goldtown and its settlements were spared the worst of the bloodshed. But the unsolved murder of a local nobleman has inflamed tensions in these frontier lands, and the Fountain Dominion have brought a crueler hand to manage the affairs of their settlements. Meanwhile, banditry and desperation continue to run rampant as refugees flood into the region.  

You are one such refugee, a recent arrival in Goldtown. You know that the claimed lands of the Dominion extend all the way to the Eastern edge of Severian's Reach, yet, the Goldtown Plains, and the lands west of it, Severians Reach and the Silversea Desert, the Lightpoint Pass and Leskavod, and even the Island of Kenta Kara north of the Lightpoint Lands, offer a chance of a new opportunity, free from the oppressive yolk of Severian and his minions.
