House Rules
Brief outline is below - not necessarily complete. See specific pages for full details.
- Arms, armour, and items:
- Light shields are buffed to +2 AC and Heavy shields are buffed to +3 AC.
- Nerfs to Nightstick, Beekeeper's Suit, and "Buttons" (use-activated spell effect items.)
- Weapon Focus and similar feats - buffed to apply to groups of similar weapons
- Firing Defensively - Tumble check to avoid attack of opportunity when using missile weapons at close range (similar to spellcasting defensively)
- Specific Spells
- Power Word: Pain - nerfed to non-lethal damage. Can now be used to torture without killing, which seems fitting.
- Wings of Cover - nerfed to +8 AC, +4 REF bonus instead of guaranteed "No hit".
- Launch Bolt - nerfed to prevent launching of Colossal sized bolts.
- Spellcasters
- 0-level spells - cast each cantrip you know X number of times per day.
- Versatile Spellcaster - nerfed.
- Sorceror - buffed.
- Favoured Soul and Warmage - faster spell level progression.
- Dual casting classes (i.e. Mystic Theurge, Ultimate Magus) - lower entry prerequisites.
- Consequences for death of familiar - made far more lenient.
