Interactive Handbook

Absolutely, such attention to detail is encouraged. If you need realm lore, the handbook (starting page 17, "A Brief History of the Scholia Diaspros") has lore that will give you a feel for the knowledge a denizen of the plane would have.

Student characters start at Level 5. Teacher characters start at Level 11. Advancement is typically by milestone. (Handbook, p. 7)

Hit Points are MAXIMIZED every level. (Handbook, p. 7)

You get your starting equipment package AND at least 100GP. Alternatively, you can use starting equipment and level 5 starting gold which is $500 + 1d10 \times 25$ GP. Your uniform, if desired, counts as this acquired armor. (Handbook, p. 7)

Yes, your character can be any alignment except Evil. (Handbook, p. 7)

Characters should generally speak in a Polite, Nice, and Thankful manner. Specific racial language options are detailed in the "Species of the Academy" section of the handbook (starting p. 85). (Handbook, p. 7)

Yes. If you want to play a Warlock, your character's patron will need to be approved by admin staff first. This is to prevent disruption from certain darker patrons. (Handbook, p. 7)

To make a teacher character, you must have had a student character for at least a few seasons or be approved by the Admin staff. (Handbook, p. 7)

Assistance Staff and Little Helpers are the first line to ping about character approval questions. (Handbook, p. 7)

Maybe, but you might want to check out the handbook for racial options already pre-approved, including Crinkly Succubi, Pampires, Kittenfolk, Pupperlings, Bunbunkin, Skunkiddos, Ghosts, Morphian Changelings, Cowbuddies, Darklings (Ossuite & Dark-Kin subraces), Tanukijin, Foxfolk, Warforged Titans, Gemini Celestians, Celestian Archists, Possumfolk, Living Dolls, various Demi-Gorgon subraces (Medusii, Chronoling, Totan, Anubite Pup, Deva Spark, Kaitiaki Sprout, Qilin Calf, Frosty Tot, Valiant Sprout, Kiddie Kraken, Clay Kid, Feathered Fledgling, Whisper Wisp, Little Nanook, Canyon Sprout, Prairie Pup, River Otterling, Sunstone Spark, Jungle Tot, Esus' Fledgling, Lava Tot, Mountain Kip, Oasis Sprite), and Seimei (Treebearer & Floralfolk). This also includes more options for Anthro/Furry and Legendary humanoid races like the Fates-inspired Chronolings or the Hindi-inspired Devic Sparks. All other homebrew MUST be approved by admin staff. Homebrew already included in the Beyond Campaign materials is pre-approved. (Handbook, p. 7, pp. 85-120)

Feats and flaws related to server-based homebrew, such as Incontinence, can be found in the Reference section of the server. (Handbook, p. 7)

Many diapers, especially magical ones, have a certain number of "Use Charges." These represent how many incidents (wetting or messing) the diaper can handle before it's considered fully used or its magical properties are depleted.

• The "CONTINENCE (CON) CHECK CHART" (Handbook, p. 9) details how many charges are consumed based on the severity of an incident (e.g., a "Complete Loss of Control" might use 3 charges on a magical diaper, while a "Slightly Wet" might use 1).
• Standard institutional diapers provided to students offer 4 Use Charges. (Answer to "Where do I get diapers?!")
• "DA BIG DIAPER CHART" (Handbook, p. 66) lists specific use charges for various types of mundane and magical diapers. For example, a "Pullup" has 1 Use*, while a "Heroic MagiDiaper" has 10 Uses*.
• Once all use charges are expended, a magical diaper might lose its magical properties and function as a mundane (and likely full) diaper. A mundane diaper with charges is simply considered full.
• Boosters can add extra use charges to a diaper (Handbook, p. 66).

Always refer to the specific diaper's description or the "DA BIG DIAPER CHART" for its exact number of use charges and how incidents affect them.

NO PANTIES ALLOWED. DIAPERS ONLY. Just kidding- if you're not incontinent or suffering from some sort of punishment or curse, you are allowed to wear whatever appropriate underwear you wish.

The Academy uses several types:

• Mundane Diapers:
  • Cloth: Reusable, basic absorbency, prone to leaks. Lower capacity.
  • Disposable: Single-use, moderate to high absorbency, higher capacity than cloth.
• Magical Diapers: Enchanted, operate on "use charges" (standard might have 5-10). Examples include Diapers of Endless Comfort, Odor Sealing, Extra Capacity, and Phase-Shift Diapers.
• Specialty & Punitive Diapers: Include Restraint Diapers (hard to remove) and Bulky Training Diapers (extra thick, may impose Stealth disadvantage).

A more detailed list with specific properties and costs can be found in "DA BIG DIAPER CHART" (Handbook, p. 66).

Whenever a situation requires you to check your control, roll a d20. The result determines your diaper's state according to the "CONTINENCE (CON) CHECK CHART" (Handbook, p. 9). Outcomes range from "Complete Loss of Control" (mundane diaper full, magical diaper uses 3 charges) to "No Incident" or "Exceptional Control."

A mundane diaper is full after accumulating a combination of uses, such as:

• One "Complete Loss of Control" (Roll 1).
• One "Severely Soiled" (Roll 2-4) if previously dry, or after one "Partially Soiled" or "Soaked."
• Two "Partially Soiled" (Roll 5).
• Three "Soaked" (Roll 6-7).
• Four to Five "Slightly Wet" (Roll 8-9).

The GM has the final say. A "Full Diaper" cannot absorb more without becoming a "Leaking Diaper." (Handbook, p. 9)

You suffer a 15-foot reduction in movement speed and disadvantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics, Stealth) checks and Charisma-based checks where composure is key. Stealth checks against creatures with keen scent are made with significant disadvantage. Concentration-based spells have a 10% chance to fail upon casting and each round of maintaining concentration. (Handbook, p. 10)

Penalties are starker than a full diaper. Movement is reduced by 15 feet; you have disadvantage on Dexterity checks, Dexterity saving throws, and all Charisma checks. Concentration for spells suffers a 25% failure chance upon casting, with a 10% additional chance of failure per subsequent turn the leaking state persists. A visible and olfactory trail may follow you. Prolonged leaking can lead to rashes or exhaustion. (Handbook, p. 11)

Triggered by a critical failure on a Continence Check while already Full or Leaking, or by GM fiat. Movement speed drops to 5 feet (or 0 if catastrophic). You are unable to take movement-based reactions (unless dashing, if possible) and suffer Leaking Diaper penalties until changed. You may also suffer disadvantage on all attack rolls and ability checks. (Handbook, p. 11)

A character with this trait (Prerequisite: Constitution > 11, or by flaw/choice) relies on diapers. When making a Continence Check, any roll above 10 is treated as a 9 (minor loss of control). You emit a subtle odor giving disadvantage on Stealth checks against creatures tracking by scent within 15 feet. You automatically gain the Diaper-Trained trait. (Handbook, p. 9)

Your character is accustomed to diapers. You don't suffer initial surprise/distraction penalties. You have a brief moment of awareness for minor incidents (Continence Check 6-9). You know basic diaper changing. (Handbook, p. 10)

Prerequisite: Incontinent trait.

• Constitution increases by 2.
• Relief Bonus: +1 to all rolls for 1 minute after a Continence Check roll of 1 or successfully filling your diaper without leaking.
• Enhanced Sensitivity: Advantage on Insight/Investigation for diaper conditions; can track diapered creatures via Survival.
• Combat Adaptation: No penalties from a full/messy diaper in combat (unless Leaking).
• Social Perk: Advantage on Persuasion checks when diaper is messy (if not masking maturity/odor). (Handbook, p. 10)

Yes. Magical influence, high-adrenaline/combat scenarios, environmental hazards, cursed items/zones, ingestion of potent substances, or physical trauma can all trigger a Continence Check. (Handbook, p. 12)

Potty-Trained characters only make Continence Checks under extraordinary conditions (magical compulsion, extreme stress, specific consumables, teacher-enforced diapering). (Handbook, p. 10)

These are magical diapers, usually disposable, designed to be difficult for the wearer to remove. Their "Defeat Conditions" are generally severe. If sentenced to locked diapers, you cannot change your own diaper (or only when completely full, with consent and at the locker's discretion). Others can usually change you. Not getting re-diapered can lead to curses like Incontinence, Exhaustion, etc. (Handbook, p. 14)

Short Answer: Yes, the mechanic exists. Long Answer: Messy, full, and leaking diapers are a mechanic in the realm. You do not have to enjoy it, you do not have to describe it in ways that disgust you, and you don't need to go out of your way to describe it, but it may occur! Just go get changed. When playing with others, you MUST pre-discuss your intended mechanical desires if you expect them to be accommodated. (Handbook, p. 15)

Key rules include:

1. Accept all responsibilities of enrollment.
2. Accidents soiling property may result in immediate diapering.
3. No student is above punishment.
4. Hall Monitors can enforce rules and use necessary force.
5. Alcohol and smoking are prohibited in dorms and on school grounds.
6. Use of live weapons/lethal magic on campus is highly prohibited.
7. Uniform dress code enforced on weekdays and for certain duties/off-campus assignments.
8. Cheating/academic dishonesty dealt with severely.
9. Theft of personal items will be punished severely.
10. Right to go on quests depends on behavior and availability. (Handbook, p. 15)

This usually means player time (IRL days). For example, "two weeks in diapers" means two IRL weeks. Disappearing to avoid punishment time is considered poor form. If your character is in a situation where in-game time passes differently (e.g., a dungeon taking 4 IRL days but only 1 in-game day), the IRL punishment duration still applies, but your character serves the in-game equivalent. (Handbook, p. 14)

Yes, punishments that you can opt out of include: Spanking, Chastity, Plugs, and Age/Mind Regression. (Handbook, p. 15)

Yes:

• Out of Combat Healing: Healing is considered full damage (e.g., 2d4+2 heals 10HP).
• Subdual Damage: All weaponry/ammo on campus deals subdual damage. Taking total HP in subdual/lethal damage knocks you unconscious unless you pass a CON save (DC = remaining HP - damage taken).
• Bloodied Status/Overwhelming Damage: PCs taking >50% max HP in one blow are "bloodied" (-1 AC, +1 attack/damage adrenaline bonus). NPCs (not legendary/undead/automaton/immune) taking >50% max HP in one attack must make a CON check (DC = Damage/2) or be slain.
• Second Wind Pool Variant: Fighters can use Second Wind as a healing pool (7 + Fighter Level), usable on self like Lay on Hands.
• Resurrection/Revival Fatigue: Causes Incontinence and -1 to Attack/Damage for 1d4 weeks. Stacks, but attack/damage negative capped at -5. Removable with Remove Curse or 5HP of Lay on Hands per level of fatigue. (Handbook, p. 16)

No. If killed/incapacitated, your body is instantly removed to the infirmary. If revival isn't immediate, your body can be collected. If no body, you may be penalized for a homunculi copy, which starts incontinent. (Handbook, p. 16)

There are three main ways:

1. Foundry Purchase: Buy items at their official handbook-listed price from the Foundry Resources Acquisition Center.
2. Quest Reward: Earn unique items by completing quests.
3. Crafting the Item: Forge items from gathered materials. See the Foundry Crafting section (Handbook, pp. 52, 58-65 for ingredients and craftable items).

Normally yes, but all gear purchase approvals must be submitted in the #i-want-to-buy-something channel on Discord for staff review. This ensures items are appropriate for the game balance and setting.

The handbook details several, including:

• Penitent Mitts: Force-attuned mitts causing disadvantage on hand-based checks, prevent somatic spell components, disadvantage on attack rolls, and 50% spell failure for non-hostile magic. Very hard to remove. (Handbook, p. 56)
• Pacification Gag: Force-attuned gag causing disadvantage and -5 on deception/persuasion, prevents verbal spell components, muffles speech. Very hard to remove. (Handbook, p. 56)
• Clothen Pamprison: A rare, cursed cloth diaper that binds to the wearer. Has 2 use charges, can be unsoiled by certain spells. Auto-cleans hourly when full but lacks modern features (though never leaks). Removable by high-level Dispel Magic/Remove Curse. (Handbook, p. 56)
• Diaper of the Hyena's Riddle: Legendary cursed diaper. Grants +2 AC, +1 WIS. Irremovable until curse is broken by seducing a willing creature (DC 18 CHA check). Failure causes distracting illusory laughter. Wearer cannot experience sexual stimulation from outside the diaper. (Handbook, p. 57)

Yes, the "Padded Arcana" section (Handbook, pp. 70-84) details many spells focused on diapers, diaper use, regression, comfort, and related humorous or utility effects.

• Cantrips: Diapering (magically diapers a target), Hide Smell (changes scent), Spank! (deals 1 damage, reduces speed), Uncrinkling Catastrophe (forces potty check fail on failed save).
• 1st-Level: Blessed Baby Lotion (+1 AC/saves), Sacred Swaddle (healing), Hymn of the Lullaby (charms, reduces speed), Diaper of Debilitation (cursed diaper reduces speed, gives disadvantage, forces potty checks).
• Higher Level: Lulu's Convenient Changing Break (creates changing room), Big Babification (cursed transformation), Diaper Doom (AoE damage and nausea).

Darklings are a type of creature found in the Academy, with various forms like Lurkers, Slurpers, Enforcers, Ossuites, etc. They have traits like Scent, Tendril Lash, Umbral Jaunt, and Shadow Regeneration, but are vulnerable to radiant damage. Player character Darklings are also an option. (Handbook, pp. 15-38, 94-95)

The handbook contains "A Brief History of the Scholia Diaspros" (starting p. 17), detailing its founding ~1000 years ago, the Old War Period involving Sorceress Tabitha Caelestis and her Warforged Host, the Middle War Period (The Long Chill), the First New Dawn of Stability, and the Modern Age Period, up to the present day. This section provides extensive lore.

Expeditions allow characters to explore areas around the campus. They can be for "Expanded Reconnaissance" (mapping an area) or "Speculation" (gathering resources/items). Players choose a zone and area, then make skill checks (Survival, Nature, etc.) to determine success and rewards. Random encounters and events can occur. (Handbook, pp. 121-126)

A system for combat practice.

• Rules: At least two characters to enter (one player can bring two, unless SOLO). Must defeat enemies, be defeated, or abort. Quit penalty after first quit per session. Fair play required for self-play. Special challenges usually not repeatable. Proof (logs/Roll20 link) needed for quest turn-in.
• Custom Challenges: Choose rounds (3-5) and enemies. EXP earned per round is converted to VR Sim points (VRP).
• VRP Value: 1 VRP = 1 Gold.
• Achievements: Various achievements grant bonus VRP. (Handbook, pp. 127-128)
• Hard-Mode Hunts: Pre-set challenging scenarios with specific enemy compositions and rewards. (Handbook, pp. 129-130)

These are homebrew Artificer subclasses with a "Diaper School Edition" variant:

• Wild Magic Gunsmith: Infuses firearms with chaotic magic. Features trigger Wild Magic Surges from a table, affecting attacks or the battlefield. The Diaper School Edition re-flavors these with diaper-related themes and uses a "Diapered Surge Table." (Handbook, pp. 136-139)
• Tantrum Tinkerer (Diaper School Edition): Casting artificer spells risks triggering a "Wild Magic Tantrum" from a specific table, causing unpredictable (often messy or baby-themed) effects. (Handbook, p. 140, uses Wild Magic Tantrum table on p. 134)

No, not necessarily. As long as the student roleplays going to the Infirmary (or a pre-approved staff character/PC who has agreed to let their character handle these off-time actions) to seek a change, they will normally be given such a luxury. The key is the roleplayed attempt to seek appropriate help.

No, not in an OOC (Out Of Character) sense. "In player time" means the punishment's duration is tied to real-world days of play, not strictly in-game days. For example, a "seven-day diaper punishment" means your character is considered under that punishment for seven days during which you are actively playing or present in the game. The purpose is to ensure players are present and accountable for the duration of their character's punishment and can't simply disappear OOC for a week to have their character return unpunished. Your character remains under the effects of the punishment in-game for that period.

The "Unexploded Regression Bomb" (p. 53) and "Old-War Regression Mine" (p. 53) specify physical stats are reduced to 8, movement to 10, and size becomes small, but intellectual skills are unaffected. The "Big Babification" spell (p. 84) causes broader effects including mental regression (disadvantage on INT/WIS saves) and impacts to potty checks. For other forms of regression (e.g., from "Babybrain" spell p. 75, or "Personal Littlespace" p. 75), refer to the specific spell/effect description. Generally, unless an effect states otherwise, core class abilities might become difficult or impossible to use effectively if the regression is significant, subject to GM discretion based on the new form's limitations.

The "Da Big Diaper Chart" (p. 66) doesn't explicitly list sizes for Large creatures. However, magical diapers often resize (e.g., "Diaper of the Hyena's Riddle" p. 57, "Padding Swap" p. 80). It's assumed the Academy can procure or magically create diapers suitable for all its students, including Large ones. Mundane diapers might be specially ordered or require multiple standard ones. This would be a good point for GM discretion or a specific ruling if it becomes a frequent issue.

The "Produce Milk" ability (p. 93) states the milk is "fully nutritious" and "bolsters vitality," allowing creatures to regain 1d4 hit points. It doesn't inherently suggest it's a "potent substance" in the negative sense that would trigger a Continence Check like spoiled rations or disruptive potions (p. 12). However, a creative player or GM might explore scenarios where an excessive amount or magically altered version could have unintended digestive consequences. Standard use is beneficial.

Pacification: This spell restricts speech and muffles the voice. It doesn't directly mention affecting continence. However, the general theme of infantile items might lead to roleplay scenarios or GM rulings where a pacified individual might be treated more like a younger child, potentially leading to more frequent checks or assumptions about their needs.

Babybrain: This spell clouds the mind with "infantile simplicity," reduces movement, and limits actions. While not explicitly stating an effect on continence, the significant mental impairment could reasonably lead to a GM ruling that the character has less control or awareness, making them more prone to accidents or requiring Continence Checks at a lower threshold or with disadvantage. The "Big Babification" spell (p. 84), which is a more severe transformation, explicitly states disadvantage on potty checks.

"Willing" in this context likely refers to the other creature's consent to the sexual act itself, independent of the wearer's ability to experience physical pleasure from it. The curse is on the wearer; the other participant must still genuinely agree to the encounter. The challenge for the wearer is to achieve this seduction (DC 18 Charisma check) despite their own sensory deprivation and the inherent awkwardness of the situation. The focus is on the act of seduction and consensual participation from the partner, not necessarily mutual physical gratification.

"Lethal magic" likely refers to spells or abilities that are inherently designed to kill or cause grievous bodily harm, even if the campus wards convert direct damage to subdual. For example, a spell like Power Word Kill or a high-level Disintegrate would still be considered lethal in intent and use, even if the wards prevent the finality of death. AoE spells that could cause significant, dangerous environmental destruction (e.g., a massive Earthquake spell that collapses a building) could also fall under this, as the intent isn't subdual. This is an area where GM interpretation of intent and potential consequences would be key. The rule aims to prevent students from using magic designed to kill, regardless of campus safeguards.

Seimei "suffer disadvantage on any effects or rolls related to bowel/brown-note influences" due to overconsumption of human foods.

• Diaper-Mastery: If a Seimei somehow acquired the Incontinent trait (which is a prerequisite for Diaper-Mastery, and Seimei are not listed as naturally qualifying like Cowbuddies or Skunkiddos), their Demi-Incontinence would still impose disadvantage on the Continence Checks themselves, even if Diaper-Mastery mitigates some penalties of being messy. The Relief Bonus from Diaper-Mastery (rolling a 1 or filling without leaking) might still apply if those conditions are met despite the disadvantage.
• Spells Affecting Continence: Spells like "Uncrinkling Catastrophe" (p. 70) that force a potty check would still apply, and the Seimei would roll that check with disadvantage if they've overconsumed human food. Spells that cause incontinence (like "Curse of Incontinence" p. 54) would make them fully incontinent, and their Demi-Incontinence disadvantage would apply to any subsequent checks related to the severity or control of that incontinence.

Welcome! We're excited to have you. The "How to Play: Naptime Adventures!" section earlier in this handbook is a great place to start. It covers getting on Discord, character sheets, and the very basics of D&D. Don't worry if it seems like a lot; many students and staff are happy to help new players. The core idea is to tell a story together and have fun. The D&D Player's Handbook is the ultimate guide, but you don't need to read it all at once. Focus on understanding your character's abilities and how to make basic rolls first.

Subdual damage is still damage. So, if your Barbarian takes subdual damage while raging, it would still count as taking damage for the purpose of maintaining rage. Similarly, if a spellcaster takes subdual damage, they would still need to make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, just as if it were lethal damage. The main difference with subdual damage on campus is that it won't kill you outright but can still knock you unconscious and has tactical implications.

This is a nuanced interaction. "Bulky Training Diapers" (p. 8) are described as "extra thick and noticeable, potentially used to emphasize a student's regressed state or as a disciplinary measure, often imposing disadvantage on Stealth checks due to noise and bulk." "Diaper-Mastery" (p. 10) states, "In combat, aside from suffering the effects of a Leaking Diaper, you are no longer penalized by a full or messy diaper."

If the "Bulky Training Diaper" is also "full" or "messy," Diaper-Mastery's combat adaptation should negate any penalties specifically arising from its fullness or messiness (like the movement speed reduction associated with a standard "Full Diaper" state, p.10). However, if the disadvantage on Stealth from Bulky Training Diapers is due to their inherent size, noise, and visual obviousness *regardless* of how full they are, Diaper-Mastery might not negate that specific Stealth penalty, as it's a property of the diaper type itself, not just its current state of use. The GM would make the final call based on the specific circumstances and whether the penalty is tied to fullness or inherent bulk/noise.
