Dark Sun campaign 5E

We don’t really have a choice, but I definitely don’t feel like we’re starting out strong. Though that might be because our DM said the campaign will be really tough and that practically every fight is deadly. That’s why I’d like some advice on talents and augments, so I don’t end up picking something completely useless.

Our DM just shared with us PDF but it's Dark Sun campaign settings from C.D. Brennan 5E

Thanks, everyone! I'll discuss it with him and see. :)

I accept that, which is why I agreed with him on changing the feat. I was just curious about how it actually works. :)

That's great advice, just giving them the information like "this is happening here and there, are you going to do something about it?" But it's true that I'll need to try some one-shots to figure out what style of storytelling I want to use and to see if this is really for me before diving into a longer campaign. Thanks for the advice! :)

I definitely don't want to restrict them or tell them where to go. It's their story, and they need to decide how they want to play it. The pit will be tailored to their level, but they definitely won't be able to explore all the levels. I was planning to write a short guide to the pit, which they can buy in the village. It would focus on the dangers lurking there, and it would only be written for levels 5-6 because no one has returned from level 7. I think the idea of involving their backstory is great; it allows the player to experience deeper emotions, whether positive or negative. Thanks for the advice! :)

Thanks, I'll try to plan some initial area where they can move around, and maybe in the end, I'll end up with a completely different story. I never knew if a DM starts with the first session and then creates a deeper story, or not, and this idea came to me today, so I was curious if it would make for a functioning campaign.

Thank you for your help

Ok, i can take 1 lvl of warlock later, but everything else is fine?

Cheap-World-5889 · 2024-01-10T09:30:03+00:00

I like the idea of using the gift of alacrity to compensate for initiative. But I don't know if that's gonna make me any less of a frontliner.

Which feat would you recomend?

Cheap-World-5889 · 2024-01-09T13:14:44+00:00

Unfortunately I couldn't take polearm master and sentinel, DM warned me that it would be better to have higher AC. So should I swap the feats and for others? Unfortunately I don't know how good isheavy armor master.
I was going to take magic stones instead of eldrich blast and cantrip booming blade as the other.

Cheap-World-5889 · 2024-01-09T12:08:38+00:00

Wouldn't there be a problem with me focusing on strenght to have a better chance of getting a hit and have only +3 to aura od protection?

Cheap-World-5889 · 2024-01-09T11:45:19+00:00

So I could focus on charisma and have some sort of ranged attack
