House Rules
The following rules are used across Living Erenel by all dungeon masters.
- Changing weapons readily accessible is a bonus action.
- You can speak during combat and they can respond on their turn but the full conversation has to happen in 6 seconds.
- The Instant Death rule is not used in Living Erenel. You cannot be killed instantly by massive damage.
- Living Erenel requires spells with a gold cost to be deducted but does not require actual component shopping.
- When rolling for health on a level up, you may roll or take the average. If you roll a one you can reroll once.
Attunement Slots
Players begin Living Erenel with 1 attunement slot. As the player progresses in level, or by a Stone of Enlightenment, a player can unlock more attunement slots. The player is awarded an additional attunement slot at level 6 and level 12.
Players may unlock a total of 4 attunement slots on a character. (3 from player level and 1 from a Stone of Enlightenment).
Attuning to magical weapons has additional effects based on the Attunement Type and will be discussed in an upcoming article.
Example. Potent Attunment: This magical item requires 2 attunement slots.
Death Rule
When you gain consciousness or stabilize after being dropped to 0 hit points, gain 1 level of exhaustion for being in a near death state. This effect stacks. If you have 0 hit points, receiving temporary hit points doesn't restore you to consciousness or stabilize you. Finishing a long rest reduces a creature's exhaustion level by 1.
Items in Combat
Potions, poisons or scrolls not in a
Satchel or held with an open hand are considered to be stored safely in a backpack. Finding an item in a bag requires 4 consecutive Use an Object actions by a player during a combat encounter. Only one player can search a bag at a time.
Protect Action
When you take the Protection Action, you focus on protecting a creature within 5 feet of you. Until the start of your next turn, all attack rolls made against the target are instead redirected to you with advantage. Protection ends early if you are ever more than 5 feet away from the target. A target can only be protected by one creature at a time.
Resurrection
All resurrection spells use Star Metal Dust instead of the previous components to cast the spell. This is an intentional change and adds a higher cost to provide resurrection.
This rule covers the following spells:
- Revivify. Star Metal Dust worth 500 GP
- Raise Dead. Star Metal Dust worth 2,500 GP
- Reincarnate. Star Metal Dust worth 2,500 GP
- Resurrection. Star Metal Dust worth 10,000 GP
- True Resurrection. Star Metal Dust worth 30,000 GP
Satchel
Satchel is an Erenel 5E item allowing for quick access to a limited number of consumables. All Player Characters are given a 1-slot satchel upon character creation with their background and have the option to purchase larger satchels during their adventurers.
Class Changes
General Class Resurrection Rule
If a class or subclass includes a feature that states, "the caster does not need material components to cast the spell on you." It has been changed to "the caster spends only half the needed cost to cast the spell on you, rounded down."
Artificer
When infusing a mundane item with the
Infuse Item Feature, the item must stay infused until the following Weekly Update. The infusion can be dropped, but a new infusion cannot be cast by the Artificer until Downtime Days reset.

Magical Item Adept Feature, an Artificer unlocks an additional attunement slot at 10th level.

Game Play Etiquette
- D&D is a team sport. If your character doesn't want to be part of a team, roll one who does.
- Cheating, lying to a Dungeon Master, arguing with a ruling, or promoting an unhealthy atmosphere will result in disciplinary action. Brews reserves the right to remove any user, at any time, for any reason.
- You will not have plot armor. Do stupid things and you may die! Retreat is always an option.
- Know your character and let others play theirs.
- If you don't make a decision or your turn takes too long, you take the Dodge action and we continue.
