Campaign Settings

Each campaign has its own settings. The DM changes them on the campaign page under Campaign Settings → Edit, and players read them but can't change them. They are columns on the Campaign row (backend/prisma/schema.prisma), returned with the campaign by GET /campaigns/:id, and changed with PATCH /campaigns/:id (DM only). A world seed can set any of them (SEEDS.md).

Changing a setting never rewrites what already happened. For example, turning XP tracking off keeps everyone's XP; it just stops showing it.

Characters

Setting	Default	What it does
`startingGold`	0	Gold every new character starts with.
`startingItemCount`	0	How many starting weapons and items (together) the builder lets a character take.
`startingSpellCount`	0	How many starting spells the builder lets a character take.
`abilityScoreMethod`	`ROLL_4D6`	How the builder makes the six scores: `ROLL_4D6` (roll 4d6 and drop the lowest, six times, then place them), `STANDARD_ARRAY` (place 15, 14, 13, 12, 10 and 8), or `POINT_BUY` (every score starts at 8 and is raised with 27 points, to 15 at most).
`skipMotivationRoll`	off	Leaves the motivation step out of the builder.
`subclassesEnabled`	on	Characters choose a subclass. Off: each class follows its first subclass, unasked and unnamed.
`multiclassEnabled`	off	On a level up, a character may take the level in another class whose ability requirements they meet.
`maxEquipped` / `maxEquippedWeapons`	2 / 1	How much a character can have equipped at once, and how much of it can be weapons.

Dice and rolls

Setting	Default	What it does
`diceMode`	`BOTH`	`DIGITAL`: the app rolls every die. `PHYSICAL`: everyone rolls real dice and types in what they show (the server checks each value is on the die). `BOTH`: each character picks one or the other before their first build roll.
`rollVisibility`	`ALL`	`ALL`: everyone sees every roll. `OWN`: a player sees only their own rolls. The DM always sees every roll.
`hideMonsterRolls`	on	The DM's rolls for monsters and NPCs stay hidden from players until they are put into play.

Combat

Setting	Default	What it does
`autoRollMonsters`	off	When a monster's turn comes up in a battle, the server picks its target, rolls the attack and the damage, and offers the result to the DM to accept, change or throw out.
`autoRollNpcs`	off	The same for NPCs. Friendly NPCs attack monsters; hostile ones attack the party.
`showMonsterHp`	on	Players see the exact HP of monsters and NPCs. Off: they see a health bar.
`critRule`	`DOUBLE_DICE`	What a critical hit does to damage. `DOUBLE_DICE`: the damage dice are rolled twice. `MAX_PLUS_ROLL`: the dice count at their maximum, plus one roll of them.
`areaAttackAcPenalty`	2	In an attack on several targets, each target's AC counts this much higher for every target after the first. 0 turns it off.

Progression

Setting	Default	What it does
`trackXp`	on	Experience points are kept: on the sheets, awarded after encounters, with "level up due" shown. Off (milestone levelling): no XP is shown or awarded, and the DM decides when the party levels.
`hpOnLevelUp`	`AVERAGE`	How maximum HP grows on a level up. `AVERAGE`: the hit die's average, rounded up, plus Constitution. `ROLL`: a roll of the hit die plus Constitution.
