D&D isn't the only TTRPG on the market, so every once in a while, it's fun to learn a new one! This week it will be Critical Role's Daggerheart.

About the Game:
Daggerheart is a collaborative storytelling game. The Players and the Game Master all collaborate in good faith to co-write the story together. There are far fewer game mechanics than something like D&D 5e, but many more opportunities to flavor the story in cool and exciting ways.

Character Creation:
On Demiplane, start the process of creating a Level 1 Daggerheart character. PLEASE DO NOT use content from The Void expansion (I don't have that book). You'll know because every The Void option has a message at the top labeling it as such.

Just like D&D start with choosing a class. Some Daggerheart classes even have the same names as their D&D counterparts! Pick any Core class you like (again, please nothing from The Void)

  • Sublcass: Choose from the options given.

  • Traits: Traits are analogous to Abilities in D&D. I suggest you just select "Use Suggested Traits" for this first character.

  • Weapons and Armor: Just take the "suggested" weapons and armor

  • Starting Invenory: Take whatever you want here.

  • Select Domain Cards: These are special abilities (sort of like choosing Spells or Feats in D&D). Choose whatever you want from the options given.

Your heritage is made up of things like your Ancestry (AKA Race or Species) and Community (AKA Background). Choose whatever you think fits your character best (Nothing from The Void). Do not choose a Transformation.

STOP CHARACTER CREATION HERE. We will finish up together in the Discord chat.

What you Need:

  • A free Demiplane membership to build your character and view your character sheet.
  • A free Roll20 account
  • A free Discord account
  • If you prefer to roll physical dice, Daggerheart uses essentially the same dice as D&D, but you will need TWO differently colored D12's.
