Homebrew Rules

This Homebrew campaign setting is written to be compatible with the Fifth Edition Dungeons and Dragons Source Reference Document. Materials from previous editons may be converted and incorporated. Players should be prepared to learn and work with rules from other systems. It is the intention of this setting to provide a more challenging Dungeons and Dragons experience for players accustomed to D&D5e.
Tough Characters

• Characters start with maximum HP plus CON Bonus plus one HD

• On leveling characters gain maximum HP plus CON Bonus plus one HD

Fell Weapons

• Damage dice are scaled up one die type, d4 becomes d6, and so forth up to d12. d12 adds a d4 rather than scaling further.

Bottomless quivers

• Ammo is not tracked but an attack roll of 1 indicates one arrow, bolt, sling stone, etc remains in the quiver.

Magic Relics

• Some magic items from ages past (AD&D imports) do not require attunement and cannot be identified without using the means from the parent edition of D&D

• Written spells, scrolls and tomes from ages past (AD&D imports) still require the use of the spell Read Magic or the use of an item or ability, to be read by someone other than the scribe that wrote them

Non-Combat and Social Experience Rewards

• As merited, Role Played non-combat challenges will have an experience reward based on the estimated equivalent CR

Expanded Skills, Proficiencies and Tools.

• Every standard skill offered by D&D5e will be treated as a Broad Skill and Proficiencies can be learned within them as Narrow Skills

• When a Double Proficiency is possible, Players have a choice of learning a Narrow Skill within the Broad Skill

• A Narrow Skill acts as having Double Proficiency

• Examples: Nature:Myconology, Survival:Mountaineering, Investigation:Engineering, Athletics:Running, History:(Topic or Era), Religion:(Deity or Ideaology)
