“Galaxies swarming behind me, nebulas lying ahead. This can only mean that I have arrived into space (OH YEAH).”
~ Gloryhammer

Foreword

  • DND 5ed plus supplemental materials (subject to adjustment)
  • Starting point is 5 ecl
  • Action points are on (5 at start)
  • For simplicity, your passive perception will only give a you a hint ("a tingling sensation")
  • Extra spells
  • Magic items
  • Hex spawns
  • Vehicles

General considerations

  • Some non-human races do live longer than humans, but only 1.5-2 times longer on average
  • A significant fraction of the populace has PC-levels
  • Magic is known and accounted for by government officials and institutions
  • All PCs are the emergents: have a story ready, how and when your 1st (or 2nd) level abilities manifested
  • Available languages:
    • Common (cross-planar and highly varied but still common)
    • Celestial/Infernal/Sylvan are divergent dialects of a lost Primordial language (the one magic exists in, e.g. power words). If you know one of them, you can understand the others (an Int check may be needed in some cases)
    • Goblinoid language family, preserved in books and some speakers before Exodus
    • Arcane Script, a written-only language used to write spells (all spellcasters relying on written spells know it automatically)
    • Hex Speech, a weird language spoken by semi- and fully-sentient spawns of the Hexpanse, another variant of Primordial, though twisted enough to be considered completely separate. All PCs can understand a few dozens of words and simple sentences due to their experience with hexmazes. No full definition of this language exists despite all the efforts of Arcane Council, thus even if you choose to "know" it, an Int or Wis check will often be required.

A Voidfarer's Manual

Intro

Год 351 п.и., Колыбель, Шпиль Совета Арканы, малый зал совещаний

По результатам оценки эффективности хексрейд партий, Триумвират ежегодно составляет рейтинг команд и награждает лучших. В рейтинг идёт множество факторов, от прямой боевой и зачистной эффективности, до вклада в исследовательскую деятельность и расширение известных и контролируемых территорий. И хотя некоторые молодые безымянные команды не показали себя особенно успешными, тем не менее они удостоились поощрительных призов и отдельных упоминаний за отдельные достижения. Некоторых даже пригласили на специальные интервью. Ваша партия - последние на очереди на собеседование, по кратким отзывам уже прошедших интервью, там задают странные вопросы, хвалят, желают удачи и отправляют восвояси. Но один из интервьюверов - лорд Эдвард Таск, A.D. - лидер и основной пропонент программы дальних полётов, неоднократно заявлявший что основные вопросы решены и дело только за малым - найти подходящих кандидатов.

    Integrated Tool. Hache has disguise kit integrated into its body, which doubles Hacke's proficiency bonus for any ability checks made with it. Hacke must have its hands free to use this integrated tool.
    Embedded Docent. Hacke has docent embedded in its chest, which is designed to advise and assist the warforged it’s attached to. A docent is a small metal sphere, approximately 2 inches across, studded with dragonshards. Despite a strong magical aura, it has no obvious abilities. A docent communicates telepathically with its wielder and can perceive the world through wielder's senses. One of the simple functions of a docent is to serve as a translator. Hacke can use a bonus action on its turn to request that the docent use one of its properties on Hacke's behalf.
    Spellcasting. As a 3rd-level ranger Hacke has three 1st-level spell slots. He has DC 13 spell saves and +5 to hit with spell attacks.
