Homebrew Rules
Healing Potions: Healing potions can be taken as a bonus action
Death Saves: The DM rolls death saves and does not tell the party. If possible they will tell the player who's character is down.
From the Brink: If you drop below 1 HP, take 1 level of exhaustion.
Encumbrance: Not tracked, so long as you can reasonably answer the question "How are you carrying all that" you can take it with you.
Critical Rolls: Critical Successes and failures apply to skill checks. Though they don't mean auto success/failure, you get the best/worst possible outcome.
Spellcasting in Water: Fire spells cast into water produce steam instead of flame, fire damage is halved while underwater. A spellcaster who is proficient in water vehicles can bypass this restriction. Thunder damage is doubled when cast in water.
Resupply: Some items would normally require tracking for every instance. You can instead elect to take a Resupply in town. As long as you spend an amount of money (listed below) every 2 tendays in town stocking up. It is assumed you have enough for normal adventuring.
