DM Entry: Multiclass Update and Attendance Policy

A couple of announcements need to be made.

First: I have added an attendance policy to the Aryathan Jiil Campaign Setting.pdf on the google drive. It answers some questions, such as Can I Invite a New Player? Can we use a character's teleport spell who isn't here? Who gets all this loot we just found?

New players obviously begin at the bottom and work their way up the list, so our two new players David and Mark are Fair-Weather Players (the bottom tier) at the moment, but we hope they become regulars.

Regulars have the most say as players, but must attend more often or lose some of those powers.

You can find the current status of players in a new section of this blog on the left column, titled: Attendance.

Thanksgiving: This Sunday does not count against attendance, considering the holiday weekend, but it will contribute to your attended sessions if you do attend.



Second: After much consideration, I have reinstated the -20% XP penalty on multiclassing, as per the rules in the Player's Handbook page 60. We do, however, retain the bonus +1 skill point, +1 hp, or +0.5% XP bonus for each favored class level, and you do still have to choose a certain class for "Any" favored class.

For anyone who actually gains this penalty for multiclassing, you gain a free tweak and (if you are under 11th level) gain a FREE LEVEL UP (happy holidays). Note: If you do level up, set your current XP at the minimum for the new level (although you may go in the hole for HP Buy, reducing that xp level by the appropriate amount for HP-Buy, as normal).
