House rules

This is an overview of house rules used in the Hökaland campaign.

Currently Used

• Traits - Maximum 2.
  • Drawbacks - Maximum 1. Gives a Trait.
• Flaws - Maximum 2. Almost all of them are ok (including third party stuff), but you have to check with me first. That link is just one (good) example.
• Damage Conversion (AC) - Armoured characters converts some lethal damage to nonlethal as in Unearthed Arcana (with a small fix).
• Hero Points are introduced at lvl 3.
• Damage and healing - Increased detail to go with wounds, primarily. There's now also an incentive to sleep comfortably.
• ALL MAGIC IS x2 COST. That includes enhancements on items, scrolls, potions, services, ALL! It also means that the material cost in crafting magical items is higher.
• Masterwork - Partly added to make up for a lack of magical weapons. These non-magical items packs a punch!
• Environment - Rules for sleep deprivation and hunger/thirst.
• Starting above lvl 1: Max 50% of wealth on 1 item.
  • Recommend: Weapon 25% - Armour 25% - Other magic 25% - Consumables 15% - Ordinary/coins 10%
