Player's Choice: Character Requirements

Below is a list of requirements for your characters to fulfill in order for you to be able to participate in the campaign.

1- You must have two characters

The campaign will be relatively deadly, so I want everyone to start off with at least two characters off the bat.

2- At least one of your characters should be from Europe / North Africa / Mediterranean region

We will be starting the campaign in Europe, so at least one character needs to be from the nearby area for verisimilitude.

3- At least one character must have previous seafaring experience

Again, for verisimilitude, at least one character needs to have previous seafaring experience. It doesn't need to be extensive; it can be just one year. But it would be unrealistic for a pirate crew to consist of people completely new to the trade.

4- Each character must have a past with another character who is not your own

Your character needs to know at least one other character before joining the pirate crew. This is to encourage bonds and interactions between PCs.

5- You are advised to use Official content compatible with the 5.5 edition of DnD

I advise you all to pull your characters' backgrounds, classes, species, feats, etc. from official 5.5e sources. The following books have been released that are compatible with the 2024 rules:

• 2024 Player's Handbook, obviously
• Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun
• Lorwyn: First Light
• Astarion's Book of Hungers
• Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

However, you can also use classes , backgrounds, species, etc. from 5e official DnD content. You just need to give me ample time to make sure that content is balanced to the new version.
