House Rules and Commentary

Rule Changes and Options

Since this game is limited to to level 5 at most, there are a few adjustments to help enhance the versatility of low-level characters, and to make a better fit of certain rule concepts to the game setting.

  • There are no prestige classes.
  • There are no psionics. General feats from the psionics rules are allowed.
  • The domains and general and metamagic feats from the divine rules are allowed.
  • Experience points required to level will be 10x normal and the maximum level is 5th.
  • Characters start with 2 feats at first level instead of 1. They gain an extra feat at level 3 and 5.
  • Skill points due to class or race are doubled. Bonus (or penalty) skill points for INT are not.
  • The allowed races are: Human, Elf, Dwarf, and Orc.
  • The only alignments are Good, Evil, and Neutral. Neutral is best understood as "self-interested" rather than a preoccupation with an abstract idea of "balance". Any class restrictions or magic keyed to Law or Chaos are ignored.
  • Characteristics are bought using the standard point buy system with 25 points. As usual, one characteristic can be increased by a point at level 4.
  • Standard starting gold is used.
  • Characters have maximum HP at first level. Thereafter, if they roll below the low average (i.e. 3 or 1d6, 5 on 1d10, etc.) they get the low average.
  • Specific Classs Changes
    • Barbarians are literate.
    • Bardic music can be used an unlimited number of times per day. All bardic music persists for the round used +1 round per level + the bard's CHR modifier. Bardic music requires a full round action to use.
    • Druids may be of any alignment.
