==House Rules==
*Equipment
**Not banning or restricting any of the standard adventuring equipment from the Basic rulebook (ten foot poles, silver daggers, wolfsbane, holy symbols, lamp oil, etc.). 
**No war horses to start, although a.) that wouldn't really be a valid mount choice for an LDP due to size anyway and b.) Not affordable for a starting first-level character anyway. They aren't currently available in the starting campaign area.
**No "Pole Arms" (the weapon that is wielded two-handed and does 1d10 damage). Polearms in general, such as the spear, are more than fine. The spear is one of the most common weapons. Also, no Long Bows.
**War hammers, maces, two-handed swords, and battle axes are going to be rare/non-existent in the starting campaign area. If someone feels inclined to buy one in chargen, that's fine with me---just don't expect to find a replacement easily. Buying one in chargen would basically mean your character inherited a curiosity weapon or something.
**House Rule: Javelins do 1d5-1 damage (remember that all successful hits deal at least 1 point of damage), may be used in melee or thrown one-handed (range 30/60/90) and set against a charge. When a character wielding a shield is hit by a THROWN javelin in such a way that the javelin would have come into contact with his/her shield, there is a 50% chance that the shield is now useless until repaired. NB: Spears (thrown ONLY) have the same effect on shields.
**Armor: Leather and Chain are available. Plate is not. A type of armor mechanically equivalent to Plate in terms of AC is available in foreign areas and potentially in Britain at a later date. I would jack up the price significantly and impose other restrictions; marching in this armor wouldn't be practical. It would be the armor used by heavy mounted troops such as cataphracts. Please note: chain will be more difficult to obtain and more expensive in the campaign. During chargen (only), you can buy it at standard book prices, mostly to reflect the fact that I think the system counts on fighters having access to decent armor at the start. I do realize I've taken Plate off the table, but I'm offering better shields. Also as a note, the lorica segmentata, the armor you generally think of when you think "Roman legionary" or see in movies, has been out of use for well over a century.
**Shields: There are three types of shields. The buckler (small shield) is most often used by less-Romanized (or un-Romanized) Britons, peoples north of the Wall, raiders from Hibernia, or scouts. The medium-sized scyld is most often used by Saxons. The clipeus, a larger shield of oval shape, is used by Romans or Romano-British, including barbarians in (or formerly in) Roman service. Note that shield AC does not apply to rear attacks or to flanking attacks that hit the non-shield side. LDP can't use anything larger than a buckler. Note that the rectangular legionary shield of the Late Republic / Early Empire has been out of use for many years. The chart above has cost in the left column, weight in CN in the middle column, and bonus (subtraction) to AC in the rightmost column.
