Editing Category:House Rules For v3.5

=House Rules=



==Leveling Up==
Leveling Up has four prerequisites and one understanding: 1 - The required amount of experience points (XP) must be accumulated to gain the next level; 2 - A mentor non-player character (NPC) of sufficiently high level must be found and convinced to train the player character; 3 - The mentor will require payment or service for the training at the discretion of the Dungeon Master; 4 - Training must be done for a number of weeks equal to the number of encounters a player has 

It is understood that once a player has sufficient XP to attain the next level, further calculation of XP is halted. 

Experience Points (XP) Calculation is weighted on role playing not on simple defeating obstacles. The weights are Poor Role Play = Half XP Good Role Play = Full XP Great Role Play = 1.5 XP 

Rogues and Magic Unlike in the v3.5 rules, Rogues do not have the skill to detect magic in traps or disarm magic traps. They may not use a magical device. 

The exeption to this rule is when the trap has a mechanical component that is not magical or when a magical device is deemed more mechanical than magical. 


Arthur C. Clarke's 3rd Law by the British writer and scientist Arthur C. Clarke 3.Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

, was proposed by Arthur C. Clarke in the essay "Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination", in Profiles of the Future (1962).<ref>"'Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination'" in the collection Profiles of the Future: An Enquiry into the Limits of the Possible (1962, rev. 1973), pp. 14, 21, 36.</ref> 

The second law is offered as a simple observation in the same essay; its status as Clarke's Second Law was conferred on it by others. 

Clarke's Three Laws are three "laws" of prediction formulated by the British writer and scientist Arthur C. Clarke. They are: 

1.When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; when he states that something is impossible, he is probably wrong. 2.The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. 3.Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
