It is a dawning of a new day in the multiverse. As powers that have been long separated now collide new legends are growing. Will you join their ranks? Will your story remember you as a hero or as a villain?

The endgame of this campaign has fights with literal gods and players will have the option to undergo demi-god transformations. There are other avenues to power that players should consider if they do not want to rely on the gods.

The campaign begins with a group of level one characters on the plane of Ravnica.

Player Characters may belong to any guild (no renown) or be guild-less. All Player Characters are fresh recruits to the newly formed Ravnica Expedition Corp (no renown).

While this story is set on Ravnica players are not allowed to play as a planeswalker. The reason for this is simple planeswalkers are really hard to balance D&D around. If you want to play a planeswalker may I introduce you to a sister game of D&D called Magic the Gathering where the tagline for over a decade has been "You are a Planeswalker!" If you are dead set on playing as one talk to the DM to home-brew a transformation.

Player Characters may be of any race and class in the Approved Material if you wish to play something outside of that seek DM approval. This is one of the most high fantasy campaigns imaginable. Your race will probably be approved, classes from other sources including home-brew are probably fine but the DM reserves the right to re-balance with the player as needed.

This campaign uses a modified set of rules for Character creation:

Players are allowed, and encouraged, to have and play as multiple characters. This used to be very normal although it has fallen out of favor with most 5e players. For the first few sessions I will be limiting you to playing one character at a time to streamline play. After that I will open this up for you. Multiple characters allows for a lot more interesting play options at the table. Suddenly things like splitting the party aren't nearly as big of an issue. The DM can always scale the difficultly of encounters when the party splits so the real reason that parties are told to avoid it is that its boring for Players when they are off screen for an extended period, having multiple character fixes this because you just send one of your characters with each group. As a Player you also dramatically expand your options in the story. Barbarians are great super fun, definitely in the top 15 of available classes, but they can start to feel pointless when there is nothing to rage at and smash. Bard's are great in social situations and you can make them great in combat but outside of combat is where they shine. If you are playing both of them at the same time you actually get to min-max without min-maxing. Instead of focusing on how do I make this character the best I can for their mechanical role in the party, you get to relax a little and do stupid things like put all your points into strength on the barbarian because you know the bard is going to send a lot of heals your way in combat. And then out of combat you still can have more dynamic engagement with the plot than "Grok hit tiny man?" which you know is hysterical for at least the first 1,000 times you say it but eventually it gets overplayed.

If the thought of running two full blown characters sounds like way too much to handle, I get it. It really can be a lot to think about at the table. But you can do it I know you can because the DM does it with many characters every session. If you are still intimidated remember that you are encouraged but not required to have multiple characters.

Also last thought on the matter SideKicks exist. They are dramatically simplified characters which can make a good starting point to playing multiple characters. Some of the most fun I ever had was playing a Dark Elf Cleric with an int of 6 with a conman Aarakocra Expert Sidekick with a cha of 20 manipulating him. At least one of those characters shows up in this campaign :) Should the main character die and you wish to rework a sidekick into a main class that will be allowed.

Players can expect to have access to true resurrection magic (for a price). So death is not necessarily the end of a character story. However the juice might not be worth the squeeze (I'm just putting this in writing so that no one thinks I'm changing the rules when I make access to this really hard).

Not strictly required but RTFM
