18 pre-made character sheets for Dolmenwood

 Hey folks,

Let me share these pre-made character sheets with you. They can be useful if you, like me, need to organise a one-shot but they can be handy as well if one of your characters dies and the player does not have a secondary sheet ready to go.


There are 8 humans, 3 Breggles, 3 Mosslings, 2 Woodgues, 1 Elf and 1 Grimalkin for a total of 18 sheets, 2 for each class.


A couple of notes: 


The distances are expressed in Goblin Grasps (Symbol: *), my native Dolmenwood measurement unit; 1 Goblin Grasp is 1.5 meters or 5 feet, aka 1 square in most dungeon grids.


The sets of attributes have been randomly rolled, but I picked for each class a set with a +1 or +2 bonus in their specific prime abilities and I made sure to use sets with a cumulative bonus of +1 or +2.


The characters are going to be used for a Winter's Daughter One shot, therefore abilities that are not likely to enter into play (like the knight Horsemanship) are not listed.

Symbiotic flesh garden

This is a resource for Dolmenwood by Gavin Norman (Necrotic Gnome & Exalted Funeral) - https://necroticgnome.com/pages/about-dolmenwood 


One of my Mossling players is a biologist by trade. She is trying to exploit Symbiotic flesh to grow useful mushrooms on her character's shins. This is a short ark, therefore I am not too worried about long-term imbalances. This was my ruling.

To start your own Symbiotic flesh garden, you need to begin experimenting. The experimental phase needs to be done only once. It requires 3 successful wisdom checks to attempt to implant mushrooms in your own flesh. Every attempt will cost you a portion of fresh mushrooms and 2 hours of uninterrupted work.

Once passed the experimental phase, you can try to implant any kind of mushroom in your shins once a day with a wisdom check. Performing the attempt will cost you a portion of the desired kind of mushroom and one hour of uninterrupted work. Some kinds of rare mushrooms may impose a penality on the roll.

A natural 1 means that you inflict yourself 1d4 damages

A successful roll will force you to consume double rations for the day but you will collect 1d6 portions of the implated mushroom kind on the following day.

Any idea how to improve it?

Snowfall-at-Dusk's lamentation

This is a resource for Dolmenwood and Winter's Daughter by Gavin Norman (Necrotic Gnome & Exalted Funeral) - https://necroticgnome.com/pages/about-dolmenwood

I like to use Winter's Daughter for short arks and as an introductory quest to Dolmenwood. I used a magician (Mostlemyre Drouge - Prigwort, HEX 1106) as a quest giver - he wants the enchanted ring and offers a significant amount of GP for it, enough to allow the group to level up.


Given this incentive to take the ring to him, I need to communicate to the players that there is someone else who wants that ring very badly and is ready to pay well. When a fay is involved visions and prophetic dreams are automatically called for and a short poem could be the right medium to communicate Snowfall-at-dusk's plea.


In Frigia's embrace, I lonely stand, 

Snowfall-at-Dusk, princess of this land. 

Sir Chyde, my love, yet to arrive, 

In the dance of frost, our destinies strive. 


Nine centuries weave a tapestry of sighs, 

Silent longing beneath frozen skies. 

Chyde's ring, a promise, our fate's true key, 

A pledge unfulfilled, in waiting, I plea.  


Through realms unknown, my heart unfolds, 

For a true seeker, in tales yet untold. 

Riches and dreams, I offer with glee, 

To the brave one who brings Chyde's ring to me.


I'm not a native speaker. If you can improve the rhymes or the metrics, please leave a comment. Every contribution is welcome :)
