  • Does this mean that if I am a Barbarian with Strength/Constitution saving throw proficiency, that I automatically fail when needing to perform a Dexterity saving throw (because I do not have the ability score used by it)?

    Unless your barbarian has a 0 in dex, you have a dexterity ability score. Your barbarian has proficiency in Strength and Constitution savings throw, meaning you add your proficiency bonus to your ability score bonus. The other ability scores have a savings throw of the ability score bonus, and any other bonuses you may have, but not your proficiency bonus.




  • I try to have each character know at least 2 other characters in the game, this creates some overlap.

    I ran a game (and after almost 11 months) finished a campaign with a bunch of teens who had never played any RPG of any kind prior to this, and while making characters they created a traveling circus or carnival kind of thing and every character had some ties to it. So even when they did not know one another they would see the troupe’s emblem and become instant friends.

    The other method I enjoy is trial by fire, starting the game with an intense situation and they have to work together to survive. I used this to start the other d&d game I am running. It also inadvertently happened when I was introducing two new characters to my Werewolf The Apocalypse game.
