Combat Rules

1. Drinking a healing potion is a bonus action. Administering it to someone else is an action.
2. If you crit, you roll your normal damage die + max damage + modifier. (Example: If the damage is usually 1d10+3, on a critical hit you roll 1d10+10+3)
3. Initiative gets rolled by the GM to speed up the process.

The Death Knight's Squire


Welcome! This roleplay is a D&D 5e short story. The Death Knight's Squire is a fan-made adventure module meant for solo play, adapted here for a party of 2-4 players. The goal is for this to be a short, straightforward, and stress-free roleplay where posting comes easy. Please note that stress-free does not mean commitment-free. I will not be playing a character in this, so I am solely GMing. The adventure can end in total failure, partial success, or full success.

Once upon a time, hung from a tree a black dark knight called to thee
'Dear my child, come, come to me, an adventure I guarantee'
Whisked away on horse at night a son was stolen oh so bright
But in the deepest starless night, a hero set out clueless of fright
And went to steal back what once was the knight's required squire


Rules For Participation

You will start at level 2. You get your max HP from level 1 and roll for the additional HP for level 2. (Example: As a monk, you'd have 8+1d8+constition modifier HP). Death is possible, so be aware of that. If your character dies, you may make a new one.

1. You may only choose classes from the Player's Handbook (though you may choose subclasses from other official sources). I understand some won't like this but it makes it significantly easier for me.
2. You may choose any official race from any official source.
3. Stats will be rolled - you may roll an entire set of stats twice and take whichever you prefer. You can put any number where you want after that. Please share your stats in the OOC with a link to the roll.
4. All rolls for this RP must be done with the guild dice and always within the same "dice campaign". Additionally, please label your dice rolls. E.g. "Investigation Check" or "Stat Rolls".
5. You get the starter equipment that is listed with your class and background.
6. You may choose any background from any official source or choose none. The GM reserves the right to refuse any background if it doesn't fit.
7. You must be a "hero". Whatever your internal motivation is, your character must be willing to offer help. Best suited are of course characters with the alignment "good".

Rules for Posting and Behaviour

I am expecting you all to be decent humans who are welcoming to all who find this thread and trust you are all looking to make this a smooth experience, which includes helping other players by answering questions or guiding them on how to use the dice system on the guild. Treat this as if you're sitting in front of each other, do not let the anonymity of the internet make you less of a kind person than you'd otherwise be.

1. The GM might make mistakes at times. You may ask them about a call they made but for the smooth sailing of this, a GM call is to be accepted.
2. You must post once a week. If you miss this deadline, you will be removed from the RP. If this happens, be on your best behavior and don't start a fight.
3. I will be accepting max. 4 players at the same time. If one player drops out, the spot gets immediately opened up for another player to take. Yes, this will not "make sense" in-game but we will embrace the weirdness and roll with it nonetheless.
4. This is an LGBTQ-friendly space. I will not hesitate to kick you out.
5. This will NOT include "adult content". Refrain from mentions of sexual assault, substance abuse (including excessive alcohol consumption), or other such topics.
6. Combat can be written in detail but I ask you to show decent human restraint in how you treat your enemies.
7. All rules apply IC and OOC.

The GM reserves the right to boot you from this RP if you break any of these rules or are in general performing undesired behavior. You can be kicked without warning. Though I will likely give you a reason, I do not owe you an explanation.

By applying with a CS, you agree to the rules. And as always, post your CS in the OOC thread first.

*deeply frustrated sigh* So I can't quite understand how Dungeon Master's Guide works... I can't seem to choose any feats, backgrounds, etc... anyway. It's 10pm and I am determined to finish this sheet one way or another.

Do you mean dungeon master's vault? If so it's been a while since I used it but I remember it's a lot of manually entering stuff and setting them up.

@rocketrobie2 Yeah, that's it. I can plug in the stats ok. But when I start trying to pick background, or feats, or skills? I get 1 option that just doesn't fit. I don't get it.

Yeah, you need to click the 'add feat' or whatever you're trying to do and punch it all in manually. It's a pain in the keister but I think it ends up looking nice enough in the end. Also sorry for the late reply to ya, I meant to keep checking back but got distracted.

Personality
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Amanita is a cheery, usually upbeat kid. They're full of curiousity about the wider world, one that they haven't truly been able to explore until very recently. Despite being 100% biologically human, in their mind, they are just the tallest goblin in their age group. Maybe they don't have the right nose for mushroom sniffing, but no one else can carve an arrowhead or repair a bow half as well as Nita.

Even though they get plenty of strange looks, with their patchwork leathers and fumbling Common, they seem quite unflappable. While they do seem naive on the outside, they are incredibly loyal and steadfast in battle. They also seem to have a decent grasp of tactics. Above all else, Amanita absorbs knowledge like dry soil after rain.

Positive
1. Full of potential
2. Generous
3. Adorable (if you like gangly kids)

Improvable
1. Naive about human society
2. Can't read Common
3. Scrawny


Background
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Amanita was raised by a goblin tribe after the death of their parents. Now, like any goblin who has come of age before them, they have been shoved out into the world.

"Find your feet, young ones. For the green, years must be earned. Destiny must be snatched."

@Mistress Dizzy You can always switch to a different online forum to use. Mystery Weavers is pretty simple. DND Beyond has some options for free and is pretty simple to use. I sadly don't know dungeon master's vault and can't assist with it. I also saw you rolled a 7 on your HP. That would give you 7+8+constitution modifier. So you have at least 15 HP and then you add whatever your constitution modifier is to it, that will be your max HP.

I will look at the submitted CS soon! @rocketrobie2 Would be great if you could copy your sheet over into this thread.

I'm gonna try to get a look at everything this weekend and hopefully we can start IC on Monday. I do have some other important things to take care of over the weekend though, so I can't promise I will be all set to start Monday but I'll try.

@Benzaiten DnD Beyond makes you pay for pretty much everything. Even if you own the physical book, you have to buy and download their digital crap.

I've never heard of the other one though. For now...

@Mistress Dizzy This works for now but I don't think you get a feat at level 2. They start earliest at level 4 if I remember correctly.

@CollectorOfMyst This still needs some finishing touches? Some sentences about the backstory perhaps :)

@Mistress Dizzy Your CS also still needs some work, it seems. How's that coming along?

@Neianna86 Seems good to me.

As I said, I would wanna try and get the IC started on Monday, possibly Tuesday. But that's what I am aiming for at the moment. For those not finished with their CS yet, do you think you can finish them until then?

OK, my sheet is almost completely set aside from finding a picture. Also trying to get an actual followable DnD sheet on Myth Weaver up and running.
