Broad rules and world information

Philosophy

Before any technical rule changes here are some explanations of my ideas around what Dungeons and Dragons should look like at my table, this is not the only or best way to run a game but it my preferred way.

Character driven narrative and control of the world. You, the players are able to shape this world and control it, while there are times where we do encounter the rail road a little more ( mostly due to a lack of preparation for something ) you in general have complete control over the game and its direction. You can run away from a fight, side with the bad guys, go to a random city, granted the world moves on its own so your action or inaction may have consequences but those are the natural outcome.

Flavor and fun first. I encourage all to build and make characters with lives, personality and flavor, nuance and beauty. No one should be one note, every character should have flaws, and every character came from somewhere. I believe that mechanics should exist to support character vision, even if something is not a part of your class or race often the idea of ability is important, a simple suggestion of this is for a specific spell to be added to your characters list.

Information is ever-present. Everything in this game has meaning, lore is scattered to all aspects and if your character looks for the lore it can be found. But I wont always prompt you to make a check to find this out, some investigative action on your own is required. Asking questions can be above table as well, your character will almost certainly know things you the player doesn’t and its perfectly acceptable to ask these questions.

Ask the dungeon master. I oversee this game, but we are all a part of it, the goal of Dungeon and Dragons is to have fun, if we are not having fun than please work with me to address that. And if you are wanting to change something about your class or build please message me.

Potion drinking. You may drink a health potion as a bonus action, if you do so you roll the dice. If you drink the potion as an action you regain the maximum amount. You can feed a health potion to another character as an action and in this case you roll the dice.

Fall damage. My game does not have maximum fall damage, for every 10ft you fall you take 1d6 bludgeoning damage.

Drugs. Each drug works in a similar way. When you take one dose of a drug you roll a con save = to the DC listed, if you roll below this you gain the overdose effect in addition to effects of the drug. If you take multiple of doses of the drug the save will increase each time equal to the number listed to the side of it. if the drug has no second number than the DC will stay the same.
