| − | ==The Angry Villager Rule==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On page 24 of The Original Dungeons and Dragons White Box, Booklet 3, written by Gary Gygax, reads The Angry Villager Rule:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | “Anyone who has viewed a horror movie is aware of how dangerous angry villagers are. Whenever the referee finds that some player has committed an unforgivable outrage this rule can be invoked to harass the offender into line. Within the realm of angry villagers are thieves from the “thieves quarters,” city watches and militia, etc. Also possible is the insertion of some character like Conan to bring matters into line.”
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I will not hesitate to invoke this rule citing that my world is alive and not artificial to its inhabitants be they monster, Non-Player Character or any Player's Character.

| − | ==Encounter Reactions==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Unlike in v3.5 where NPCs always greet PCs with indifference, encounter reactions will be rolled for every encounter giving the possibility for the PCs to meet NPCs while they are preoccuppied with their lives and living in their own emotional moment.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also, Wandering Monster Checks will also require encounter reaction checks, where appropriate. Thus, a band of brigands may be predisposed to let the PCs go unhindered and even offer information (for a price) giving the PCs a bonus in diplomacy or the brigands may be more predisposed to fight than to collect any tribute. The Dungeon Master will reflect the attitude of the opponents encountered through dialogue or action.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Monsters that are specifically described as always hostile and aggressive, such as Owlbears, will never require a roll to determine their encounter reaction.

| |
| − | | According to D&D canon and the accepted mechanics of Vancian magic, Sorcerers ''''should'''' be able to cast powerful magic at any given time because the power to do so is innately fuelled. This nonesense defies my suspension of disbelief. How does a Sorcerer (or Choatic Magician) discover spells? Why must he or she choose spells if the power is innate? Why are limits imposed if there is no stamina consumtion? Why bother to read magic?
