General rules

1. Only one die can be added to any D20 roll (so you can only use Bardic Inspiration, Bless or Guidance, etc. with your roll)
2. Players have "luck", on a failed roll, a player can announce that they want to use their luck, using one luck point per difference to the DC they were trying to reach (ie rolling 5 and spending 5 luck points = 10). Once a player announbces they want to use their luck, the DM reveals the amount of luck required. The player must spent this amount of luck if able; if the player has less luck than required, they spend all the luck they have, and the roll fails. Luck can't be spent on damage rolls, death saves or ressurect rolls.

1. Death saves are rolled in secret by the DM. If the method of play allows, they can be rolled between the savee and the DM, but other players will never know the results.

Character creation

1. Optional: The first character of any campaign is found by the "Discovery Method". Upon character death, any new characters are made with the Point Buy system.
In the Discovery Method, the first step in a characters creation is either to pick a race or to roll stats (player preference). Stats are then rolled by the normal 4-1 method, but rolled in order. So, the first result has to be STR, second has to be DEX, and so on. The player is free to pick a class following this.
2. Characters get a free feat in level 1 unless their background already gives one.
3. Optional: Spellcasting classes can pick a different spellcasting ability than they would normally use. They can also freely pick a different origin for the sorcery.
   Henry has two spellslots, resetting on a short rest. When not firing spells, he fires bolts of godly energy (Eldritch Blast), while attacking with his divine minion (Pact of the Chain). His powers comes to him from the god of mathematics, to whom Henry is a loyal priest - because of this, he uses a magical sense of logic to formulate his spells, using intelligence as a spellcasting modifier.
