House rules

From Hökaland Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

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

Currently Used

  • Traits - Maximum 2.
  • 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.

Extra reading

  • Hit Points - My thoughts about traditional roleplaying Hit Points.
