Rules
Peoples Theatre D&D Game Rules
Character Levels
Games at the club vary in level from 3rd (for new players) to the maximum campaign level (currently 8th)
We encourage players to choose a character level that they are comfortable playing. There is no pressure for newer players to jump in at maximum level.
Rules
As of February 2025 all games will be run using the 2024 version of D&D.
Character Generation
Characters can be created using any official published D&D material from Wizards of the Coast. Characters from the earlier versions of 5e D&D will be adjudicated using the current rules, but are still valid.
This includes, but is not limited to
- The Players Handbook
- Xanathar’s Guide to Everything
- Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything
- Monsters of the Multiverse
- Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide
- Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos
- We also include the Blood Hunter class from D&D Beyond
Multiclassing, Variant Humans, and the new racial rules from Monsters of the Multiverse are all permitted. We do not allow material from non-WotC sources, nor from third party content including DMs Guild races and classes.
Pre-Generated Characters
We provide a selection of pre-generated characters for players who do not have a character when they arrive. These are available at a variety of levels from 3rd to the maximum campaign level.
Levelling
We run an honour system for levelling
You gain one ‘levelling point’ (LP) for every event attended, and when you have the number of LP equal to your current level.
->i.e. Bob plays his 5th level fighter for five sessions. He can now increase to 6th level.
Occasionally, in the wake of a major event, we may announce that those present may level up. In this case, you keep your LP and they transfer to your next level.
->i.e. Jane’s 6th level Bard has 3 LPs and she plays them during an event. It is announced that everyone can level up. Jane now has a 7th level Bard with 3 LP towards 8th level.
Equipment
We presume that characters have the mundane items that they require for their adventures.
Similarly, we presume that you may have a horse or similar transport, suitable armour and weapons.
For specific items that go beyond this scope, either consult your DM at the time, or drop a line to the Shopping Channel on our Discord server.
