My son really enjoys min-max’ing character’s how much of that do you allow for? Also what level do the characters start at and what level Will they end at (Online Dungeons and Dragons)
asked on Apr 28, 2022
Apr 29, 2022 - James Reed
There are many different types players, including power players. All are welcome. As for starting level it will depend on the group and the module. If we have some experienced players we can start at level 3 or 5. We don't typically start higher than level 5. As far as how far they can go that depends on how many weeks he plays for. I would say typical is about 2 levels per week. All of these factors adjust based on the group. -

My child is interested but is scared that their character might die during the game. Does the group work within a “no-kill” framework? (Online Dungeons and Dragons)
asked on Aug 08, 2021
Aug 09, 2021 - James Reed
Character death and TPK (total party kill) are crucial elements of learning to play DnD. They teach kids that actions have consequences. That said character death is quite rare and never means the end of the player playing. We always introduce the subject gently and before hand. -
Jul 11, 2022 - Hartly Llosa
If a character dies and one or more of the party is a higher level spellcaster they can probably revive the character and if it’s a low level game then you just create a new character and keep on playing which is fun because you could create another character and creating characters is fun -

Can I sign my child up for the first day of the D&D winter session (Dec. 21-24) with the option of adding on the remainder of the 4 day session once she's completed day 1?
