The Children of Green Anne
Horror Homebrew Campaign
Roll system
This homebrew campaign relies on a simple dice rolling system. As opposed to
the typical 6 core stats and modifiers in Dungeon and Dragons, it relies on d20
rolls and role-play. Classes determine which rolls you as players have advantage
on - for instance, nerds will get advantage on nerdy actions, etc. If anything other
than a d20 roll is required, the DM will ask when appropriate. AC, HP and damage
are specific to classes.
Once per day, each class will have a selection of 2 abilities to utilise in combat;
once spent, you must operate purely on attack rolls - so use them wisely. If your
‘energy’ is spent and your health is low, you are recommended to run.
As the campaign progresses, the frequency with which players can utilise their
combat abilities may improve (essentially, you ‘level-up’).
Classes
Green Peaks is divided by 4 cliques: Jocks, Nerds, Rebels and Mystics.
Though it doesn’t have to determine your character’s aesthetics, it will
affect your abilities in combat and the success of specific rolls.
Pertaining to each class are obvious skills (for instance, nerds will be
able to hack), but if you can successfully validate your action in
accordance to your class, you may be granted advantage. It offers
flexibility to the players as it relies on RP as opposed to the usual core
stats.
