Editing Blood of Arden

Blood of Arden.

There are places across the Nine Worlds where Creation happened early - the first places, appearing, in one form or another, across all the early Myths and legends known.

Such is Arden. The first forest, surrounding the homes of the first gods, the creator spirits. Home of the Green Man, the Great Mother, the Deep Woods. 

There is an Arden in every world. Their deep roots touch each other across the nine world, tied to the Great Tree that supports all creation.

Arden is a homeland for you. As a citizen of Arden, you grew up amongst the many societies that make up its people, grew up sheltered by an old and deep society that lived, in large, apart from the rest of the world.

-House Rules
-Humans from Arden have 1 extra point in class abilities.Demi humans are as per normal. (Mature Magical culture)
-Example: Human Fighters.
       Heroic fighter: As fighter with d10hd.
-      Ferocious fighter: As fighter with monster to hit chances.
+      Ferocious fighter: As fight with monster to hit chances.
       Temple fighter: with 1/2 clerical.
       Arcane fighter: with 1/3 magical.
       Skilled fighter: with 3 proficiencies.
-Hit Dice:
-     Become Hero Dice (character agency). They still act as hp by default, but are used to represent luck, skill and resistance to painful but minor wounds.
-     Characters and some monsters roll their HD on the spot to negate damage. You can also use them to change an attack roll, proficiency roll or saving throw by the
-     average result of the HD used.
-Con points
-     All characters have their Con as a base substitute for HP's. Once your hero dice are used up, you start taking CP damage. More than half leaves you badly wounded
-     (-4 to everything), more than 3/4 means you're unconscious. More than Con means you're dead.
-Magic Rules (Borrowed from RStites)
-     Magicians can know many spells from each level, but most can only be cast after sitting and preparing for about an hour per level of power of a spell. A Mages spells per day
-     are the ones they can cast quickly. These spells take as long to change as they do to learn - one week per level.
-Henchmen and hirelings
-    Henchmen are generally your standard classes, with no modifying extra point.
-    Hirelings are 0th level/1st level Elites in their class (generally fighter).
-Build your own class
-    PC's can modify a basic class to suit their tastes, building their 'take' on any of the classes from the earlier editions of D&D.
-Experience
-    Gained by meeting objectives. Think of it as tallying up the treasure value of a dungeon and doling that out as XP for dealing with what lies within, whether you gain the
-    actual treasure or not. Monster xp will be given out on a tally system (with every contribution sharing), to vary up individual xp a little.
