House Rules
Encumbrance
We're using the optional rules on p 44 of the LL rulebook.
- You don't have to drop a movement category if you're wearing armor.
- Anything under one pound will not count at all toward encumbrance.
- Players must indicate which items are "readied". These items are considered to be worn or easily available for use.
- However, any fragile readied items may have to pass a saving throw if the PC takes a large amount of damage in a given turn, falls 10 feet or more, etc...
- The LL reserves the right to limit the number of readied items if the players abuse the process.
| Encumbrance | Turn/Encounter/Running Movement |
|---|---|
| Up to 40 lbs | 120/40/120 |
| 41 to 60 lbs | 90/30/90 |
| 61 to 80 lbs | 60/20/60 |
| 81 to 160 lbs | 30/10/30 |
Backgrounds
Each player can choose a Background for their PC at the start of play. These backgrounds represent the character’s skill set before becoming an adventurer.
- Artist (Painter, Sculptor, etc)
- Laborer (Farmer, Miner, etc)
- Gambler (Card shark, Dice roller, etc)
- Performer (Actor, Singer, Musician, etc)
- Professional (Accountant, Merchant, Scribe, etc)
- Tradesman (Armorer, Jeweler, Leatherworker, Smith, etc)
PCs can earn money in their area of expertise when not adventuring (LL to determine monthly wage). They can also answer questions or remember facts about their profession. PCs are considered Proficient at their profession. They can increase their proficiency by one step to Expert, and again to Master, by spending Skill points later in their career.
- Proficient PCs have a 50% chance of answering questions about their profession.
- Expert PCs have a 70% chance of answering questions about their profession.
- Master PCs have an 85% chance of answering questions about their profession.
