Is this game friendly to people who cant always make it?

Yes! In fact it was designed around that type of player. Each quest will begin and end back at the Guild Hall, meaning that if you are unable to make it one day that just translates into your character chilling at the guild hall.

You can catch up on any quests you miss out on by reading the Quest Logs.

How do I create a new character for this campaign?

We are following the "PHB+1" rules, which means that when picking your class/race/specialization/etc you can use anything in the Players Handbook, plus anything from one other book of your choice. Your character should start at level 2 with the starting equipment that your class grants including starting wealth as found on PHB143.

Barbarian Bard Cleric Druid Fighter Monk Paladin Ranger Rogue Sorcerer Warlock Wizard
2d4 x 10Gp 5d4 x 10Gp 5d4 x 10Gp 2d4 x 10Gp 5d4 x 10Gp 5d4Gp 5d4 x 10Gp 5d4 x 10Gp 4d4 x 10Gp 3d4 x 10Gp 4d4 x 10Gp 4d4 x 10Gp
50Gp 125Gp 125Gp 50Gp 125Gp 13Gp 125Gp 125Gp 100Gp 75Gp 100Gp 100Gp

Afterwords you should create a new wiki page on this site, take a look at some of the other Player Characters to get a sense of how you might want to style the page.

How much exp do I need to level up?

Here is a chart for the minimum exp you need in order to level up.

Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Total Exp 0 300 900 2,700 6,500 14,000 23,000 34,000 48,000 64,000 85,000 100,000 120,000 140,000 165,000 195,000 225,000 265,000 305,000 355,000
Incremental Exp 0 300 600 1,800 3,800 7,500 9,000 11,000 14,000 16,000 21,000 15,000 20,000 20,000 25,000 30,000 30,000 40,000 40,000 50,000
Exp to Next 300 600 1,800 3,800 7,500 9,000 11,000 14,000 16,000 21,000 15,000 20,000 20,000 25,000 30,000 30,000 40,000 40,000 50,000 0

After obtaining the next tier of exp you will stop gaining experience until the end of the session, meaning at the beginning of the next session you will begin at the minimum exp your new level.

If I can have my character stay behind at the guild hall does that mean I can have multiple characters?

It does, however the house rule is that you can only play one character per session. In addition you should keep in mind that each of your characters will level up separately.

Can I create an infinite number of characters?

Yes! However the house rule is that you can only play one character per session, so you will only be able to create one new character each session. In addition you should keep in mind that each new character starts at level 2, and all of your characters will level up separately.

Can I allow other players to play characters I have created?

Yes, but this is not recommended. Each player can only play one character per session so they will not be able to play their own character if they are using one of yours. In addition anything that happens to your character while another person is playing it will become cannon, meaning that if they trade all their gear for a cursed sword you are now stuck with a gearless character that is soulbonded to a sword that is slowly draining your max HP.

Will player characters die in this campaign?

Only if mistakes are made, the encounters are based around the quest they are a part of and not based around the current party level. Usually the party can get a rough idea on how difficult the quest will be by looking at the reward the quest poses on the Posting Board but this is not always accurate and the party must know when it is time to run away if they need to.

Can characters be resurrected?

Yes, as long as you can find a player or NPC who can perform the resurrection spell, and you can find or purchase the components necessary to cast the spell.

What spells can I use to resurrect party members?

If my character dies and I roll a new one to replace them do they have to start at level 2?

Yes, all new characters must start at level 2 unless otherwise granted by the DM.

If my character dies and I roll a new one to replace them can I get new magic items and equipment?

No, if your gear was lost in the void you are unable to retrieve it. If your party manages to collect it off your corpse then you will have to figure out a way to negotiate it away from them.

Do I have to write a quest log?

No, but is in encouraged. Every player who writes a quest log about their session will receive gold equal a die roll times the level of the player according to the chart below.

What if nobody in the party writes a quest log?

The DM will be very sad. (and may forget things that happened in the previous session)
WARNING: Sad DMs may lead to enemies rolling natural 20s at a higher then normal rate. If your DM is sad for more then 4 hours please consult a licensed cleric about your increased chance of tpk.

What is the purpose of this Wiki?

This site is the culmination of all of the shared guild knowledge, it is recommended for you as a player to share any information you learn with your allies by using this site, however you are not compelled do put anything on here except for one person in any given session being required to add a Quest Log. The DM will only populate minimal information for the players to use on this site, with most of the content being player recorded.

Can I get a map of the world?

A map of the Sunholm Guild Hall is provided but all other maps must be created by the players as they explore the world. There is however no requirement for any players to share the maps they create, nor is there a requirement for those maps to be accurate.
