House Rules

Rule Number 1: The DM has final say whether you like the decision or not. In the case of the latter feel free to utilize the tissue box in the Message Board area.

Rule Number 2: With the exception of rule Number 1, all other rules, published or otherwise may be altered or ignored by the DM as fits the campaign. In short, don’t be a rules lawyer. If you feel the need to cry, complain, whine or bitch feel free to utilize the tissue box in the Message Board area. 

Rule Number 3: Understand the difference between character knowledge and player knowledge (PK). Sanctions will be imposed if a player is found to be using PK for character gain or benefit.

Spell DC:

A spells DC is determined by: 10 + Ability Modifier + Spell Level + 1/2 Caster Level

For example a 10th level wizard with an intelligence of 18 (+4 modifier) casting fireball (level 3) would have a DC of 22

Spell Damage level cap:

Spell level damage dice have their caps doubled.

For example a fireball with a normal level cap of 10 is doubled to 20.

Exotic Weapon Feats:

Exotic weapons can be learned using as skill point instead.

For example a player wants to learn to use the elven thinblade they would spend one skill point to do so and track it in Herolab as Kowledge Elven Thinblade (Custom Knowledge Skill)

Sneak Attacks:

A character can only ever make a single sneak attack each round unless they have a feat that allows sneak attack damage to be applied to additional attacks under specific circumstances.

For example a rogue with 2 attacks per round would only be able to sneak attack on the first attack. The second attack resolves as normal. If the same rogue has the Telling Blow feat and crits on the second attack he would then be allowed to add his sneak attack dice to the damage. 

Languages:

Languages can be learned for a single skill point and incur no cross class penalty. Adjust the skill point accordingly in Herolab under Permanent Adjustments Skill Points Total and label as Language.

Arcane Disciple (House Rule Variant)

Choose a deity, and then select a domain available to clerics of that deity. You can learn to cast the spells associated with that domain as arcane spells.

Prerequisite

Knowledge (religion) 4 ranks, Spellcraft 4 ranks, able to cast arcane spells, alignment matches your deity’s alignment,

Upbringing Feat:

All characters receive a free upbringing feat. This feat has to be relevant to and make sense with their back story.
