Themes and Content Warnings


Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden centers themes of
isolation, the struggle for survival, fear of the unknown,
and modern and cosmic horror. It includes the following:

Avalanches, cave-ins, and being buried alive,


Brainwashing and possession,
Blizzards, extremely cold weather, and freezing to
death,
Inbreeding and deformities,
Madness and longing for death,
Frostbite and its accompanying missing limbs and
extremities,
Murder.

If you have concerns about any of these, or about


themes or topics that you feel may come up, please
message me so that I can adapt the adventure accordingly.
Additionally, please inform me of any major phobias or
triggers so that I can avoid them.

Part 1 | Welcome to Icewind Dale


Rule Modifications and Potions of Healing
Clarifications All levels of potions of healing restore their max value
when taken as an action, but they restore their rolled value
when given to another creature (which takes an action) or
Character Creation taken as a bonus action.
You can use any of the 5e books (get approval for
partnered material or Critical Role content). Please create
your character using either the standard array or point
buy; if you strongly want to roll for stats, please talk to me
about it. Backgrounds and racial features can be
customized according to the rules from Tasha's Cauldron
of Everything.

Hexblade Warlock
Two-handed weapons can be used for the purposes of
Hexblade class features.

Action: Mark
“This option makes it easier for melee combatants to harry
each other with opportunity attacks.
“When a creature makes a melee attack, it can also mark
its target. Until the end of the attacker's next turn, any
opportunity attack it makes against the marked target has
advantage. The opportunity attack doesn't expend the
attacker's reaction, but the attacker can't make the attack
if anything, such as the incapacitated condition or the
shocking grasp spell, is preventing it from taking reactions.
The attacker is limited to one opportunity attack per turn.”
--DMG
You can only have one target marked at a time
and you will have disadvantage on opportunity
attacks against any other creature.

Mage Slayer
“You have practiced techniques useful in melee combat
against spellcasters, gaining the following benefits: When a
creature within 5 feet of you casts a spell, you can use your
reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that
creature. When you damage a creature that is
concentrating on a spell, that creature has disadvantage
on the saving throw it makes to maintain its concentration.
You have advantage on saving throws against spells cast
by creatures within 5 feet of you.”
If the creature you’ve made a melee weapon
attack by way of this feat fails the roll, the spell
slot is consumed.

Spears
Spears (and possibly other weapons on a case-by-case
basis) will have the reach property (10 ft) when they’re
being used two-handed.

Cast-off Armor
Cast-off shields exist. You can doff this shield as a bonus
action.
