Homebrew Rules

Here’s a list of all of our Homebrew Rules – it’s ever expanding and being tweaked as we play through the campaign. If you’d like to request or discuss a homebrew rule, just chat to Dan. We can balance and find a way to make just about anything work. 🙂

General

Rules relating to general systems and mechanics.

Short Rests are limited to twice per day.
Long Rests are restricted to ‘safe’ areas.
This will need some playtesting and adjustment as we go.

Combat

Rules relating to combat, actions, bonus actions, spells, etc.

Healing Potions can be used with a Bonus Action.
Normally, Healing Potions consume an Action. Instead, you can use a Bonus Action OR an Action.
Death Saving Throws will be rolled behind the DM screen.
To increase tension, players wont know their current saving throw tally.
On a Nat 20 Attack Roll (Crit), calculate the damage as normal, then add your weapons max damage to the total.
Normally, attacking with a Greatsword(2d6) and +3STR Mod rolls as 2d6+3. With this new rule, it rolls as 2d6+3+12.
Players adjacent in Initiative take their turns simultaneously.
When you Fall Unconscious (HP reduced to 0), make a DC10 CON Save. On a fail, take one level of exaustion.
We’ll see how this goes – and if it’s too punishing, we’ll tweak and errata it.

Economy

Rules relating to economy, gold, items, housing, etc.

Currency will be Gold(gp) and Silver(sp) only.
Items priced under 1 Silver RAW will simply become 1 Silver.

Player Specific

Rules tweaked for specific characters needs/purposes. Any systems tweaked here apply to all characters.
