House Rules

Leveling

Milestone leveling, at next long rest

Advantage/Disadvantage

Advantage and Disadvantage resolve per-case. For instance, if you have two advantages and one disadvantage, you have advantage. If you had three disadvantages, you only roll regular disadvantage. If you believe your situation would give you advantage (or disadvantage) and it makes logical sense, I will probably allow it.

Multiple Skill Check Attempts

You may attempt skill checks multiple times, however there may be consequences. If, for instance, you were tasked to get in and out of a location without being detected, and you fail a check to pick a lock, there might be signs of your attempts, such as scuff marks, a broken tumbler, etc.

Stealth, Hide, Unseen

Stealth is always initiated by a roll, and will continue unless the party does something risky. Darting from hiding spot to hiding spot is probably fine. Rushing directly at an enemy probably isn't. If you alert an enemy to your location, it will search your last known location and the general area until it is certain the threat is gone.

Audible actions will reveal your location even if you are in stealth. Inaudible actions such as firing a bow from a distance, casting a spell (because Sarseian spells do not have verbal components!) will not reveal your location.

Attacks made from stealth are automatic crits.

Money

Silver Standard, altered. Prices will be altered to fit a 1930s economy, roughly.

Resting

You are allowed 2 short rests per day. Long rests require you to be in a secure or safe location (such as within a city, a fortified abandoned tower, etc). Quick Rule of thumb: If monsters walk up and interrupt a long rest, it won't be considered a safe location.

Death

A character will only die if BOTH of the following 2 events happen:

• You fail all 3 death saving throws
• Nobody can stabilize you after combat

Critically succeeding a death save counts for two successes. Critically failing only counts for 1 failure.

If you succeed at 3 death saving throws, you will come back up with 1 HP and 1 level of exhaustion. You can only do this once until you recover. If you go back down again, you immediately fail all 3 death saves.

If you have failed 3 death saves (either by going down a second time, or failing 3 to begin with), you can still be stabilized afterward by an ally. If you are in this state, you cannot regain consciousness until you have completed a long rest, even if something gives you HP. When you do regain consciousness, you are automatically at 5 levels of Exhaustion.

Certain locations will provide services for resurrection. Resurrection (Revivify, Raise Dead, Reincarnate, etc) returns you to a normal living state, bypassing the required long rest and exhaustion. If you use these services, the resurrection will be provided first, and THEN you must pay them. If you do not pay within a reasonable time, people may put a bounty on your head.

Extra Attack

Extra Attack can be used for spells that are connected with an attack, however, your action MUST include a regular (melee or ranged) attack as part of the action that triggers Extra Attack.

Ranged vs Melee

Ranged Weapons add +1 to your damage instead of your ability score.

Melee Weapons (that are not thrown) gain 1d4 extra elemental damage (your choice from your Sharinnah)

Bonus Action/Off Hand Attack

Off-hand attacks use your full bonus (+1 for Ranged, STR/DEX+1d4 for Melee)

Carry Weight, Push, Drag, Lift

For every step above, you octouple the weight. For every step below, you eighth the weight.

Carry is 15 * STR, multiplied by the size category based on the following table:

Size Category	Multiplier
Tiny	1/64x
Small	1/8x
Medium	1x
Large	8x
Huge	64x
Gargantuan	4096x

Light/Dark

There are 5 Light levels. Bright, Dim, Darkness, Lightless, and Magical Darkness.

Bright light is equivalent to sunlight. Dim light is equivalent to Candle light. Darkness is equivalent to a moonless, starlight-only night. Lightless is equivalent to deep inside a cave with no light source. Magical Darkness is equivalent to Lightless, but magically caused. Abilities that affect vision such as Darkvision, work by increasing the perceived light level by 1 step. Creatures are always Seen except under Magical Darkness or Lightless levels.

Crits

Chunky Crits. Crits are your normal damage roll, plus max damage.

Critical Fumbles only will happen during situations where you are not in any danger, and times it may be humorous, such as during a minigame, etc.

Critical Successes/Failures for checks and saves do not mean instant success/failure. You can still succeed with a natural 1, and still fail with a natural 20.

Sapient feliform race inhabiting Sarsei

Crystalline material which grows on sentient fauna on Sarsei, that gives them the ability to create magical effects.
