Rules & Sources

Beyond the Veil uses D&D 5.5e with the following approved sources only:

  • Player's Handbook
  • Dungeon Master's Guide
  • Monster Manual

No homebrew. No third-party. No Unearthed Arcana. If a class or subclass has a 5.5e update, use the updated version.

Backstory

Your character has ended up in Veil's End. Whatever their origin, whatever brought them here, they are now a Reclaimer. That is the foundation.

Required

Why did your character join The Reclaimers? What drove them to venture beyond the Veil?

A sentence or two is enough. Was it the promise of gold? A debt to be repaid? Nowhere else to go? Make it yours.

Optional

What does your character fear most — whether out in the Shroud or back home in Veil's End?

Optional, but a well-considered fear makes for a more interesting character and gives your DM something to work with.
