Editing The Wyzard Runs OD&D (section)

== Current House Rules ==

This section is also subject to modification and clarification.  I'm going to start out using less than the entire body of rules, and may introduce them slowly over time.  In some cases I will be simplifying, disallowing, or otherwise expanding on the RAW.  I will generally put notice in the OOC thread before instituting any substantial change.

*Characters become unconscious at 0 Strength, and can go negative to an amount equal to their Strength divided by three, rounding down.  So, a character with twelve strength can go to -4.  This does not generally apply to NPCs.
*A character's Exhaustion effectively adds to his current damage to determine whether he is unconscious.  A spellcaster cannot "overcast" and take himself to negative strength.  Exhaustion can't kill you, but it can sure get you killed.
*At the current time, we are not using Grievous wounds or any other special damage effects, weapon damage types, or similar.
*There is something like a system for critical hits and misses in the book.  Ignore critical miss type effects.  A double damage result adds a D6 to your damage roll, a triple damage result adds 2d6 to your damage roll.
*A character's monthly upkeep cost equals 1 gold crown for each 100 XP it would cost for them to buy an attribute point.  In the case of PCs at the current time, this is 2 Gold Crowns per month.
*For ease of reference, the monetary system is as follows: One Gold Crown (c) is 20 silver shillings (s.)  One silver shilling is 12 copper pence (p.)  One pence is worth four farthings (f.)  A gold crown is a really substantial amount of money.  Many people in the setting might never have two of these to rub together, or even a single one.  A shilling is a pretty good amount of money.  A few silver shillings would be a quite a bit of money to most people.  Copper pence are normal pocket money, what you'd use to pay for meals and drinks and basic services.  If you need really serious money, you can carry around a gold Mark (worth six crowns) or jewels (prices as per page 15 of In The Labyrinth.)
*We will be maintaining the use of tokens.  I will, from time to time, hand these out to the players.  One token may be spent to force a reroll of any die roll in the game, but the new result must be taken (unless you want to keep spending tokens.)  Two tokens may be spent to gain a Talent Point.  Four may be spent to gain an attribute point.  This may only be done during the normal times for spending XP, e.g., downtime.
