House Rules

Using Ability Checks, Skills, and Tools.

I don't know how to describe this... so here are some examples
Example A:

Pick-pocketing requires a dexterity(Sleight of Hand) check.

Picking a lock requires a Dexterity(Thieve's Tools) check, not Sleight of Hand.
Example B:

Discerning what a potion does requires an Intelligence(Arcana) check.

Brewing a health potion requires an Intelligence(Herbalism Kit) check, not Arcana.
Example C:

Putting on a play requires a Charisma(Performance) check.

Playing a song requires a Charisma(Musical Instrument) check, not Performance.

Which Ability each Skill or Tool relates to can be seen here:

Drinking

Drinking

Intoxication Threshold

Your intoxication threshold is equal to your Con score + 1.
Once a player reaches this threshold they gain Liquid Courage.
A short rest will lower your intoxication level by 2 and a long rest will reset it.
Lesser restoration removes 4 intoxication levels.

After the Threshold

Make a Con saving throw save after each drink consumed past their threshold.
The DC is equal to 8 + the strength of the drink + your level of exhaustion.
If you fail, you gain 1 level of exhaustion. If you fail the save by 5 or more, you also fall unconscious for 1d4 hours.

Hangovers

If you have 1 level of exhaustion gained from intoxication and no intoxication levels, you have a hangover.
While hungover, you are vulnerable to thunder damage and have disadvantage against being blinded.
You lose your hangover at the end of a long rest or from greater restoration (must be used after exhaustion is cured).
*failing the save puts you to sleep for 1d6*10 minutes.

Insanity

Sanity

WIP

Max psychic damage causes Wis save to gain a sanity effect till long rest. Rip off other charts Levels of insanity Permanent Insanity. Permanent Insanity is the most difficult to cure. It may be cured through powerful magical effects determined by your DM. Being an adventurer can be hard, and sometimes certain creatures and events can have a great effect on your mental health such as:

• Witnessing a friend’s violent death
• Meeting someone you know to be dead
• Undergoing severe torture
• Seeing a chaos deity
• Seeing a corpse rise from its grave
• Watching blood rain from the sky
• Being resurrected

When going through such encounters, your DM may ask you to make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC determined by your DM. On a failure, you gain 1 Level of Insanity, and a critical failure gives you 2 Levels of Insanity.

Treating Insanity

There are multiple ways to decrease a character's Insanity levels. A Lesser Restoration spell will remove 1 level of Insanity while a Greater Restoration spell will remove 2. Other spells and effects that boost Wisdom, Charisma, and general health may also remove a level at your DM's discretion.
A character may also take some personal time to refresh their mental state. Similar to a long rest, if interrupted by conditions that increase mental stress such as combat or damage, then the effects are not applied. This does not apply to 5th or 6th Levels of Insanity.
Insanity Level |Effect | Recovery Time 1 |Disadvantage on Ability checks and spells.|1-2 days 2 |You will become frightened of random creatures, places and objects determined by your DM. |3-5 3 |Disadvantage on Attack rolls, skill checks and Saving Throws. |7-10 days 4 |Every hour, you must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be affected with Short-Term Madness for 1d10 minutes. |2-5 weeks 5 |Upon reaching level five, you become mentally Paralyzed. If you are still at Insanity Level 5 after 1d4 days, you progress to Level 6. 6 |You go permanently insane and fall under the DM's control.
