Since you’re too scared to reply, I’ll try my best with no information from you: It depends on the DM and campaign. If the DM is doing a casual game or one-shots (adventures that take place in just one or two sessions), a lighter backstory should be fine. If it’s more grand or the DM wants to incorporate you backstory into the adventure, that have something you are comfortable with them using. Ask your DM what they want from your backstory and start from there. The Player’s Handbook (PHB) has pre-made backgrounds you can use as a base for your character(s). I hope this helps you.

Here’s a house rule I’m going to start using: after rolling initiative, everyone rolls an Intelligence check. The highest result is multiplied by 4, and that’s how many seconds the party gets to discuss strategy before the fight starts.

Today’s session in a nutshell:


Also got to try out the rules for tactical combat, and they worked great. The players had a great time with strategic positioning before the fight.

So, my homebrew is taking a few pages from Darkest Dungeon. Specifically, instead of normal combat maneuvers, you make a regular attack, and your attack gains a secondary effect in exchange for doing less damage. For example, an attack might do 25% less damage, but push a target by 5 feet if the target fails a save. I’m thinking damage penalties will come in multiples of 25%.
So what I need is opinions on how much of a damage penalty you think each secondary effect is worth?
  • Target is pushed 5 feet (possibly over a ledge)
  • Target is pushed 10 feet (possibly over a ledge)
  • Target is repositioned by up to 10 feet
  • Target deals 10% less damage for the next two rounds
  • Target deals 20% less damage for the next two rounds
  • Target takes -2 to AC for two rounds
  • Target takes -2 on attack rolls for two rounds
  • Target takes -2 on saves and checks for two rounds
  • Target loses one of its actions next turn (cannot be reduced to zero actions)

Remember, there’s nothing wrong with playing a character of a difference sex or sexuality than yours (unless you are being creepy about it). Play what you are comfortable playing.

If the Honor Among Thieves movie references the bad DnD movie with the classic “Let their blood rain from the sky” line then I’m declaring it the best movie ever
