General Rules

1. Don't talk over or interrupt other players. I am the DM. Only I can do that.
2. Healing Potions are yourself are a bonus action. You can use an action to give one to someone else or gain max healing by drinking one yourself. All other potions are actions.
3. If you die during the one shot, you can forgo a reward item at the end of the game, or pay the resurrection fee to be resurrected after one minute if you would like. If we are on DND Cosmos you can forgo the item at the end of the game for the same.
4. If you ever feel uncomfortable or that another player or myself are making the game not a safe, fun, or otherwise positive place for you please DM me and let me know, I can't address the situation if I don't know it needs to be addressed.
5. I use the following Variant Rules: Creature Identification, Link Provided Upon Request.
6. If you want to use inspiration on your own roll, you can do so after the roll, if you want to use it on someone elses roll, you must declare so before. Inspiration stacks in my games.
7. You can only assist on a skill check if you also have proficiency in that skill, have jack of all traits, or are able to roleplay why you should be able to assist.
8. Death saving throws are whispered to the DM.
9. No PVP is allowed without consent from both parties. This includes casting AOE spells that hit party members, using abilities that the other person does not wish to be used on their PC, and doing damage to party members. If You attempt to initiate PVP, you are considered to have consented for others to engage in such against you.
10. If a DC of a saving throw is unmatchable for your character, for example a DC 22 save in a stat you have an 8 in and aren't proficient in, and the party has no remaining ways to make sure you can pass (Bardics, Pally Aura, Artificer, ect), then a nat 20 is an automatic pass.
11. If you are immune to Psychic damage then you are immune to the other effects of spells and magical abilities that deal Psychic damage. This applies to enemies also.
12. Please be prepared to take your turn on combat and generally act in a timely manner. If you take too long on your turn, or don't respond on your turn, your character will be considered to be dodging or taking necessary action to maintain a spell or effect, and your turn will be skipped.
13. You're always free to give other players suggestions but at the end of the day, everyone is free to act in accordance with the rules, and don't spend to much time telling other players what they should do.
