strixhaven

I am running a new campaign for my friends using Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos. It will take characters from level 1 to level 10.

This wiki is where I will keep notes on the campaign, the setting, npcs and characters, planning notes, session recaps, etc.

All content:

The Strixhaven Scavengers

aka The Bee Key Binders

Saoirse Hardybeak
Delvin Finefeather
Eivas Zjarra
Archibald Beauregard Cornelius III

See: all sessions

time moves fast

Each school year is divided into three exam periods
Each trimester is 10 tenday, followed by a two tenday break
Having a job (assuming you don't work through the break) = (5 gold / tenday) * (10 tenday / trimester) = (50 gold / trimester) * (3 trimester / year) = 150 gold per year (NEW RULE: get paid out for your job at exam time every trimester!)

This campaign is a little light on loot. Here is guidance on how/when to give out magic items.
