CREATING A NEW CHARACTER

• All shared campaign characters must use 27-point buy.
• Characters receive maximum HP at 1st level, and average HP each level there-after.
• 2014 characters may choose one of the following background feats at 1st level: Skilled, Tough, or Magic Initiate.
• 2024 characters receive one origin feat at 1st level, as per the 2024 rules.

EVIL CHARACTERS PROHIBITED

D&D is a collaborative game where the party members are expected to cooperate and work together. Playing evil alignment characters and engaging in willful player vs. player conflict is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN and will get you kicked out of the campaign and out of the Griffons Den entirely. PvP is only allowed in situations where it is expressly chosen (such as a battle royale one-shot) or when the monsters enthral and force a party member to do their bidding against their will (such as a vampire or succubus charm effect).

LEVELING UP

All characters receive average HP as listed in the respective class description for each level beyond 1st. No one receives a free magic item at level 5 anymore. Use your money, that's what it's for!

CREATING A CHARACTER ABOVE 1ST LEVEL

If the DM asks you to create a higher level character, follow the usual rules for character creation at 1st level.

• 2014 characters receive additional starting equipment, gold and magic items indicated on the High Magic Campaign column from the Starting at Higher Level table from page 38 of the DMG14. Take the maximum GP indicated, do not roll randomly.
• 2024 characters use the Starting at Higher Levels table on page 43 of the PHB24. Take the maximum GP indicated, do not roll randomly.

REBUILDING A CHARACTER

Any character may be entirely or partly rebuilt between sessions, without limitations. Rebuilt characters retain all gear, treasure, magic items and XP/levels. If and only if you are rebuilding a character from 2014 to 2024 the character may swap magic items on a 1-for-1 rarity basis, drawing their choices from the Valid Source Books below.

VALID SOURCE BOOKS

Shared campaign characters may only draw from the following officially published source books when creating or leveling up a character. This includes the selection of magic items, spells and other character features such as subclass, backgrounds, feats or familiars. Magic items and features from other sources not on the list, such as campaign or adventure hardcovers, may only be acquired while playing those adventures.
