‘true good’ is strictly speaking not an alignment in either version of 5e, you’re probably thinking of neutral good

and it’s maybe worth explicitly checking (politely) whether your DM intends for you all to be using standard starting equipment for first level characters at level 11

Is that 5e?

I really wonder how the system looks in practice…

Sorry for the delay; was in class.

I was running Rime of the Frostmaiden, but adapted for shorter sessions. The idea is that you’ve entered a land that’s been beset by an eternal winter, and your job is to kill the Frostmaiden responsible for it.

First session is where the group runs into a scientist who says that she’s close to lifting the curse but requires gear that she had a friend escape with. Said friend is currently intended to be a sacrifice to the Frostmaiden, so you have to break them out, convince a group of creatures who’ve taken over the space there to let you all grab the stuff, bring that back, have it go wrong, and then fight monsters summoned by the Frostmaiden.

Second session is where the group arrives at a harbor town and is asked to help find a group of missing fisherman in exchange for passage to Sunblight Fortress, the northernmost outpost within the land. They meet a magician summoning a goddess of the ocean and help him in exchange for being able to ask said goddess some questions, head to the cave, navigate through some terrain, and then fight the witch at the end.

Had five other sessions planned out, but I didn’t get that far.

Yeah, that. Me when I’m too lazy to check.

Uh…
My understanding is that given that we’re just doing a one-shot, he’s fine with basically anything as long as we aren’t, like, doing some insane reaches. I gave myself an armor upgrade from chainmail, but I didn’t really want to test the boundaries, and I don’t think I need, like, 8 more javelins or something.

It’s the Player Handbook I’ve got.

You can go on the wikipedia page and see all the terms for this phenomenon from around the world

tbh I did not notice the armor upgrade, I was mostly coming at things from the opposite perspective

Opposite perspective meaning?

like, ‘it seems possible your DM was just Assuming that obviously 11th level characters would have better gear than first level’

I’m gonna mark it as WIP.
It’s technically done, but it’s not in a state I’m happy with.
