DRAGON ADVENTURES RPG D20 BETA
"STORMWRECK ISLE"
INSTRUCTIONS:
Review Above Material.
Using "Unearthed Arcana 2022" Dungeons & Dragons 6E Playtest review Wizard section and update your character sheet to include all spells and magic updates from Tasha's Cauldron Of Everything, Xanathar's Guide To Everything, Dragons Of Stormwreck Isle.
Combine these sections on your new DRAGON ADVENTURES character sheet to add a new backgroud story to your Wizard Character.
Start with Wizard as "Unearthed Arcana 2022" uses a spell list update.
Since this is the new One D&D Playtest, we'll create one character on the new rules and test them in our own adventure on DRAGON ADVENTURES and then you can play the Wizard we made on Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Dragons Of Stormwreck Isle and then add new monster character rules and Unearthed Arcana 2022 updates to test the new One D&D Players Handbook Update for 2024 (6E).
After you have reviewed the material add new character bonuses to your character sheet from the update sections from the One D&D 2024 Players Handbook Rules Update.
"Unearthed Arcana 2022" is about "character origins", compile the new character origins from the material to update your new Wizard character bonuses for DRAGON ADVENTURES: STORMWRECK ISLE One D&D Playtest.
Points To Understand: Spell vs. Cantrip
Cantrip are free spells with no spell book that come with the character - reviewing the new Unearthed Arcana 2022 rule book adding these new backgrounds to your wizard character may give you NEW cantrips to choose from based on alternate character origins from the 5E Players Handbook Material.
Spells are from your spell book list and are awarded by level.
For example, your Wizard character's background may be Farmer that you select for the origins of his character.
By selecting Farmer as a backgroud the Wizard gains +2 Constitution and +1 Wisdom....
A wisdom increases gives the character more knowledge and make his spells work better... +2 constitution give him more resolve.
Also adding the Farmer background to Wizard in Unearthed Arcana 2022 gives the wizard new powers of Animal Handling and Nature Control, years of being a Farmer have given you patience and good health.
Choose the proper background for your Wizard Character for the skills you want to have on STORMWRECK ISLE.
