House Rules

• Humans can multi-class.
• PCs get full hit points at first level.
• Language slots don't combine with character points. PCs get the number of languages they would be entitled to under standard 2nd edition.
• Clothing (within reason) doesn't add to encumbrance.
• A modified version of the Death's Door Optional Rule is in effect.
  • HP Loss: If a character is reduced to exactly 0 HPs, he falls to the ground unconscious. He's stable (not losing HPs), but completely vulnerable. If a character is reduced to anywhere from -1 to the negative value of his Constitution score, he is not only unconscious but also rapidly declining. He will lose 1 HP per round until he is stabilized -- by binding his wounds, using the healing non-weapon proficiency, or casting a healing spell. When a character drops below the negative of his Constitution, he is dead.
  • Recovery: If a PC is stable but still at 0 or lower HPs, he's unconscious. If he has been healed to 1 or higher HPs, he is conscious but may be delirious or feverish. He can't move or fight, and he can barely talk. Only a full day of bed rest (or a full Heal spell) will return the PC to his full abilities.
