# What's Next?

This page is to teach you what to do after creating your character. If you have not done so yet, check out Start Here

!csettings version 2014

Custom Counters are used to keep track of various resources, such as race ability (e.g. Half-Orc's Relentless Endurance), class ability (Fighter's use of Second Wind), ammunition, charges on a magic item, etc.

For other sheets, setting up the class abilities is automated using Avrae. Run the commands below in #bot-dump for the setup.

For abilities not covered by !level/your sheet, manual counter creation may be required. See Other below.

This command will pick up any classes you currently have.

!level

!level [class] [subclass] will set your subclasses for you (e.g. !level warlock celestial)

Homebrew classes are not supported, and non-Beyond sheets may not have the necessary counters.

• See !help cc create for how to create your own CCs, and !help cc for general CC commands.
• If you are using a homebrew subclass, see !level template for instructions on how to create a proper gvar for !level.

• Once you've updated your character sheet, run !update and !level in #bot-dump .
• Make sure to react in #roles in order to receive game pings for the new level.

Money and XP are tracked on the server. They are not synced with your sheet, so it does not matter if your sheet is updated with this info (tracking XP is explained later below).

Use !transaction to check your coin purse.

Log your monetary transactions in #transaction-log with:

!transaction "reason for transaction" +Xgp

You can chain multiple currencies to the command like so:

!transaction "reason for transaction" +Xgp +Xsp +Xcp

!transaction "Starting Gold" +#gp

Roleplaying (RP) gives your characters RPXP, which can later be turned into XP (The process is explained later below).

You can go to any of the channels in the Snowhaven: West/High Class/North/South, Underhaven, Nanam in Nature, and Arena categories to RP.

• #drunken-yeti-inn is the most popular channel to RP, and a great place to start.
• #rp-board is where you can make a post to look for RP, or join one that is already posted.

• You cannot go into any of the channels marked under the DO NOT ENTER category.
• All channels listed under GAME CHANNELS # as well as the channels listed under TRAINEE GAMES category are reserved for DM events only.

You may want to RP your character entering Snowhaven in #gates . There is no set way to introduce yourself. However, most people write their introduction as if people are seeing them for the first time.

They would describe how their character looks like and say what they are doing, which usually gives something other characters can interact with.

Please use common sense and behave as you would in a public setting. Follow the rules. Breaking things and crime will definitely get you thrown into jail as the RP channels are meant as a safe zone.

RPXP allows you to earn bankable credits for roleplaying. The full explanation can be found here.

Set up your counters: !rpxp in #xp-tracker (only need to do it once per character)

1. React to your first RP post with 🔰 :beginner: and last RP post with 🛑 :stop:. Get the person you are RPing with to react as well.

2. Find out how long the RP session was. #rp-log picks up the messages reacted with 🔰 & 🛑.

3. Log the RPXP in #xp-tracker by the increments of half an hour (rounded down)

!rpxp <hours> [message]

Example:

!rpxp 1.5 "#the-library"

Every Monday (EST) you can reset your Weekly RPXP Cap by running the following command in #xp-tracker :

!rpxp cap reset

OOC stands for Out Of Character.

Snowhaven: West/High Class/North/South, Underhaven, Nanam in Nature, Shops, and Arena categories have respective #[category]-ooc channels for out-of-character conversations.

When you aren't RPing or taking part in events, you can chill in any of the OOC channels, where you can talk about character builds, recent bounties, real life, etc. Popular channels include #snowhaven-north-ooc and #guild-ooc .

There are channels for specific content under the DnD Chat category. Please try to keep posts related to those topics contained to those channels. Similarly, please keep bot commands to #bot-dump .

Full explanation on the available game types on the server can be found in [What's Next?](whats-next/.

1. Wait for Level pings

Wait for a DM to ping your level for a bounty in #bounty-board or an arena/hunt/pit fight in #arena-board .

2. Check if signups are still Open

Event posts with a ❌ or ❎ reaction are closed for signups.

3. Signup

If the event is still open for signups, copy the template posted by that DM, fill it in, and post it in #game-signup

4. Acceptance

Game acceptance is announced in #game-acceptance . If you are accepted, the DM will ping you to confirm your attendance. React with the appropriate emoji to confirm your acceptance.

5. Before the Game

The DM will ping you again in the appropriate OOC (out of character) channel for the game.

6. After the Game: Tracking XP

#xp-tracker for you to track all XP on this server using the !dxp command.

To add the XP from the game:

!dxp game <amount> <source>

(e.g. !dxp game 100 "Red Ruby Heist")

When you level up, adjust your sheet accordingly and run !update in #bot-dump . No sheet link is required.

Intoxication Counter follows a homebrew system which you can read more about in the pins of #drunken-yeti-inn . This determines your state of drunkenness.

Running !drink [name of drink] will automatically setup the counters you need.

e.g.: !drink "Dwarven Firewhiskey"

Interacting with the Intoxication Counters

• !cc intox to view the counter
• !cc intox set 0 to reset the counter

Bag management within the server is completely optional. Should you want to track your items, you may do so in #bot-dump

• !bag ? to see all available commands
• !bag $ "Backpack" to create a bag called "Backpack"
• !bag "Backpack" + "Item" to add an item to the "Backpack"
• !bag "Backpack" - "Item" to remove an item
• !bag "Backpack" + 2 "Item" to add multiple of the same item
• !bag "Backpack" - 2 "Item" to remove multiple of the same item

!bag pack <pack type> to add a pack from the Player's Handbook.

e.g. !bag pack "Explorer's Pack"

⚠️ Note: Lifestyle is handled in the DW server (not in D&D Beyond).

Lifestyle payments are a representation of your living costs. It is optional, but if you would like to do Downtime activities, you have to pay Lifestyle.

Downtime enable you to earn some extra gold, copy spells, and other neat features.

The full explanation on Lifestyle and Downtime can be found in Lifestyle and DTD Rules.

If you do not pay Lifestyle, you are considered to be benefiting from the Snowhaven Full Time Adventurer scheme and will stay in the #cozy-yeti-estates with your expenses covered for.

As the name suggests, you spend your days looking for quests and being on call by the Senate rather than performing any other downtime activities.

You can see the list of available guilds under the GUILDS category, as well as in this pinned message in #guild-ooc

They are all player managed, and the requirements of joining a guild vary. Some guilds require members to be over a certain level threshold, or be of a certain class. Check their pinned messages for such requirements or inquire with their leader if they don't specify any.

Some guild channels are public: this indicates you may RP checking out the guild hall, but not use their facilities.
