Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition
The Stormchaser Overhaul
Legacy Edition
Index
\pagebreak # Introduction Welcome to *Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition* with Stormchaser! Stormchaser's 5e Overhaul (or 'SC5e', as it has grown to be known) has come a long way since it's inception. Over the last three years, what began as a few house rules for a personal game has bloomed into an expansive compendium that makes up a full system overhaul. I've taken great pleasure in writing and playtesting SC5e, but it wouldn't be where it is today without my faithful players and patrons. Throughout the development process, members of the [Stormchaser Roleplaying community](https://www.patreon.com/stormchaserroleplaying "Stormchaser Roleplaying on Patreon") have contributed both their ideas and their time to brainstorming, reviewing, proof-reading and trialling the contents. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved. This compendium functions as an expansion on the vanilla rules of *Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition*. Anything mentioned is overwritten, but anything unmentioned remains unaltered. If you have questions about the intent behind these rules, please seek me out and I'll be happy to answer any questions. This index documents the first edition of SC5e that I wrote from 2018 to 2021. These legacy rules originally grew out of my work with Apostol Apostolov on [Grit and Glory](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LDHolQY2FURKf-8xCT3) and popularised SC5e amongst players looking for a darker and more realistic *Dungeons and Dragons* experience. This document and those linked within it serve to preserve the rules from that period of my work. [The second edition of SC5e can be found here.](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-MjzooP55UaAVbrEwN7C "The Stormchaser d20 RPG") This new edition of SC5e aims to providing the same visceral feeling of the first edition in an easier-to-use package. It does this by addressing rules that required games masters and players to remember many intricate details, which could be easily forgotten and slowed down play. Additionally, the gameplay will be optimised for asynchronous play-by-post, by eliminating unnecessary feedback loops wherever possible. This is an ongoing process and a changelog itemising the updates is posted regularly on the [community discord](https://discord.gg/HX9EK4A "Stormchaser Roleplaying on Discord"). If you've benefited from these rules and find yourself using them regularly, please also consider subscribing to [Stormchaser Roleplaying on Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/stormchaserroleplaying). Enjoy your games! — Kyle Taylor a.k.a.
