House rules are deviations from normal D&D rules. Reluctant Heroes has these additional and modified rules:
u. about House Rules
v. Restricted Spells
w. Read and Roll
v. Some Magic is Rare
x. Dice and Rolls
1 Month
In the event your character is inactive for a month without explaination from you, we reserve the right to cancel the game you were in and move your character to inactive status. The quest you were going to do is then passed along to another more dedicated character.
A Rock Is A Rock
Transmutation and Universal spells are largely unavailable to PC's. Spells using it will be modified upon request.
Called Shots Are Not Broken
Called shots can be used in game and with great effectiveness. However, when calling a shot the size of the chosen called shot target adds to the AC including distance modifiers. A human fingernail being dimunitive in size gets a +28 to AC in addition to any armor, natural armor or magical protections that directly effect it.
Dimmunitive +28
Fine +26
Small +24
Medium +20
Large +18
Huge +16
Massive +14
Collassal +12
Dice and Rolls
I think most of you know this already, but if you haven't noticed the way I play it, a Natural 1 is always a miss regardless of level and a Natural 20 is always a hit regardless of level.
I do this to allow for the terribly luck or unlucky events of the game to occur. I don't care if you are a 30th level Epic Fighter Demi-God wearing Plate Mail of Invulnerbility +6 and have damage reduction of +20, if a 0 level Kobold rolls a Natural 20 against you, you are going to get hit.
===================================================================
Standard Critical Rules
Critical: The entry in this column notes how the weapon is used with the rules for critical hits. When your character scores a critical hit, roll the damage two, three, or four times, as indicated by its critical multiplier (using all applicable modifiers on each roll), and add all the results together.
Exception: Extra damage over and above a weapon’s normal damage is not multiplied when you score a critical hit.
x2: The weapon deals double damage on a critical hit.
x3: The weapon deals triple damage on a critical hit.
x3/x4: One head of this double weapon deals triple damage on a critical hit. The other head deals quadruple damage on a critical hit.
x4: The weapon deals quadruple damage on a critical hit.
19–20/x2: The weapon scores a threat on a natural roll of 19 or 20 (instead of just 20) and deals double damage on a critical hit. (The weapon has a threat range of 19–20.)
18–20/x2: The weapon scores a threat on a natural roll of 18, 19, or 20 (instead of just 20) and deals double damage on a critical hit. (The weapon has a threat range of 18–20.)
===================================================================
Name..........To Hit Roll........Result
THE EVIL EYE Natural 1..........Miss
FATE..........Natural 20.........Hit*
SNAKE EYES- 2 Natural 1 rolls consecutively with a bow or crossbow means a broken string
2 Natural 1 rolls consecutively with a melee weapon or means the weapon is dropped**
ALIEN EYES- 3 natural ones consecutively is dangerous, that is all I will say.
*In some cases magic may prevent a hit
certain weapons like a gauntlet sword cannot be dropped
Experience by the Bundle
Experience is handed out once every 3 months.
Character's can gain a Roleplaying Award which varies but depending on how well they played can be between 10 and 1200 exp. Active characters (active means posting at least three times a week) are given additional bonus exp of 50 for every week they were active between the previous EXP bundle and the new EXP bundle. Extrodinary Planning, Intuition and Command award (EPIC) is worthy of a mention in the OOC topic, a character who receives this award has their 3 month exp multiplied by 1.5.
Falling is Dangerous
Falling damage accelerates, it is 1d6 for each ten feet fallen, for each set of 10'. Still 10d6 max.
So:
10=1d6
20=2d6
30=3d6
40=4d6
50=4d6
60=6d6
100 = 10d6
Free Chocolate and Cupcakes
A character is given a small gift on arrival.
I Got Better
heal works like treat injury from d20 modern, but the treat injury application can be done once per encounter resulting in wounds and cures 1d4 for every 5 points above DC 10 on the heal check.
I Pick My Stats
In character creation you start with 78 stat points. (These vary depending on what DM you get) These stat points are spent on a 1 to 1 ratio to buy Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma up to the total your DM set for your character.
Hangin' Out
Any dead character that reached level 10 can haunt old buddies and friends until put to rest.
Mix and Match
No favored class, multiclass freely without xp penalty. Fractional BAB and save advancements for multiclass characters. Fractional saves give you levels in good or bad save progression (No starting over for another 2.5 with 1st level good saves).
Magic Sparkles
As in Forgotten Realms, Sorcerrers have spell points and can expend these on a number of spells a day. Rings of Wizardry can increase the number of spell points available.
Majority Council
Anything submitted by a player needs a majority DM vote to be allowed to become approved. Non-epic magic stuff and decorative treasure are exerpt from this ruling.
Max HP
PC's and powerful monsters are granted full HP. All else are at full for the first level and half HD rounded up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hit Point Aquisition**
1st level characters get MAX HP's per their chosen class at first level and only first level.
Characters then can either choose 50% of a max die roll for the following levels, ie. A Fighter who gets d10 hp could just choose to take 5 hit points + Con Bonus for every level after 1st.
Or
Characters can take a random die roll, re-rolling results of a N1, these rolls MUST be done on the Secure Dice Roller.
Let’s Go
Teleport spells are banned, Ethereal Jaunt and Dimension Door are still around.
No Wasted Learning
If you multiclass into a class that grants a bonus feat you already have you instead gain a related feat. For instance a character with Tracking who later becomes a ranger could gain Skill Focus Survival to boost his tracking instead of being out a feat compared to a character that waited to learn tracking. Taking a class that provides abilities you are good at should make you better at those abilities instead of no increased benefit.
Poisons Are Deadly
Successful saves on poisons result in half damage
Read and Roll
Core Book Rules
As noted on page 238 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. To activate a spell trigger item with an arcane spell on it, you must have levels in a class able to cast arcane spells. Likewise, to activate a spell trigger item with a divine spell on it, you must have levels in a class able to cast divine spells. If you don't have enough levels in the class to cast any spells yet, you can still try to use a spell trigger item, but your effective caster level for activating the spell is 0.
House Rule
Anyone who can properly read the writing of a scroll can use a scroll with a Use Magic Device Check DC10. With a successful check the spell is cast at the scroll creators appropriate level, with an unsuccsessful check the DM will determine whether it was spell failure or simply nothing happens. Of course you will have to know the language that the spell is written. Most Wizard Spells will be written in the Arcane Language(Arcanium), while most Cleric Spells found in the Western World will be written in the language of the Church of the West, Aquilatin(Latin). Most Druidic Scrolls will be written in Ogham Script, the favored language of the Druids. While Runecasters work with Norse Runes.
I hope with this ruling to add more some more options to PC's and to add some value to knowing languages.
Most Wizard Scrolls = Arcanium
Most Cleric Scrolls = Latin
Most Druidic Scrolls = Ogham Script
Runecasters = Norse Runes
Red In Tooth And Claw
Claws do slashing, bite does piercing.
Smarts!
Intelligent stat skill bonuses are retroactive. If somebody increases their intelligence permanently through level advancement they get the extra skill points and can learn a new language. Skill increases must still make sense for the character from a story perspective and can be saved until appropriate opportunities for skill development.
Some Magic is Rare
There are only three Bags of Holding in the world and the way to make them has been lost to the ages. Each has a name and only one has surfaced in the last fifty years. That was with Percy Trapspringer the Halfling Ranger. Now that bag too is lost.
There are only two known Rings of Regeneration ever to have been made. Like the bags of holding, the way to make them is lost as well. Only one of these has been seen in the last hundred years. It was worn by Killian Tollbeck, founder of Pont du Flax(Falcon's Point). Horseman
We are Learned Men
Cross-class skills don't exist, you can pick any skill without skill point cross-classing penalty to learn as long as you come across it in game. While a peasant may not have the opportunity to learn about Nobility and Royalty, if a Noble takes the time to teach him, he can start to take ranks in it.
You can't see me!
Treat all invisibility spells as improved invisibility. You do not become visible after making an attack.
3.1 Comprehensive House Rules Expanded Edition
The following are a series of house rules that I have been far, far too long in putting down. They are subject to objections from players and DM's. Please comment if you like. The house rules are designed to better fit the pseudo-medieval world we are trying to create here.
HOUSE RULES
Players are welcomed and encouraged to ask questions on rule variations or DM rulings. (please do not do so in this thread, use the OOC thread)
If you have a question or are unhappy with a ruling in play get your thoughts together and let the DM know fully what you are thinking, and you can even suggest what you think is fair. The DM will discuss this with you, but try to present a clear concise and complete argument so DM's can make a speedy judgement. But also be aware that this is not a strict Core Rules Game. DM's are authorized to make judements. The Operative Phrase to listen for is....."This is my final judgement". The DM should not post this until he has heard the players arguments. But once the DM posts that I would appreciate it if we can move on so as not to drag the game down.
"This is my final judgement" means, that is the DM's ruling.
With all this being said, I don't want players think the DM's are playing fast and loose with the rules. 99% of what happens in the game is by the rules. But please be flexible enough for creative rules interpretation by the DM's. This is not done to punish or control players, quite often it actually aids a character by allowing them to do more than the rules allow. We give the character the benefit of the doubt in most all situations.
Please have fun, that's the name of the game and I hope you all have exciting times and memorable characters.
Restricted SPELLS
As a rule only spells presented in the Core Books are available to player characters. The Core Books are the Players Handbook and DMG. Characters can attain spells from other sources through roleplay or special exceptions by their DM. For instance a Wizard character might join a certain guild to gain access to spells from the Divine Handbook.
I would like to thank Darius 777, as his help was instrumental in making this list.
