<div class='cover-footer'>A complete overhaul of D&D 5E by Lord of Brunch</div>

\pagebreakNum

## How to use this Overhaul
- This Overhaul was designed for our DnD home group after playing 5E for 4 years.  It is an attempt to formalize a host of homebrew rules as well as incorporate ideas gathered from a host of different games.
- I expect this will be useful in two main ways.  First, as a source of ideas for DMs to incorporate into their current games or systems.  And second, as a full system itself.
- This overhaul relies heavily on knowledge of D&D 5E.  It removes a lot of the prescription of 5E in favor of giving the DM more influence in adjudication over the game.  If you are new the game, I would start with running 5E and incorporate elements of the Brew over time.

## Design Goals
- Remove prescription in DnD 5E to favor Rulings over Rules and Cunning over Crunch
    - From 5TD p2: *“The game relies on a certain amount of player ingenuity, cleverness, and cunning.  You shouldn’t brute force your way through every obstacle because you have a high skill modifier.  The game demands a thoughtful approach that minimizes the need to roll”*
    - The idea is to give players flexibility and creative freedom with abilities for increased ingenuity
- Simplify 5E for a faster game
- Make Magic haphazard and magical again
- Reward focusing on decision making based on the fiction rather than relying on ability descriptions.
- Make Class Features about a few exciting abilities rather than a larger number of forgettable ones.

# The Core Mechanic
### Basic Gameplay
Basic Gameplay mirrors classic DnD, specifically 5E.
1. The DM describes the environment
2. Players describe what they want to do (their approach)
3. DM adjudicates and narrates the results of the adventurer’s actions

### The D20
The Brew operates off a classic **d20** mechanic, where the **d20** is rolled and specific modifiers and bonuses are added to the roll as applies.  **Difficulty Class** is handled slightly differently as outlined below.

**Difficulty Class:** For a task with an uncertain outcome, the DM sets a **Difficulty Class (DC)** and will call for a **check**.  If the die plus applicable bonuses meets or exceeds the **DC** number, the attempted **Action** is successful.
- **Base DC:** The DM assigns a **DC** depending on the relative difficulty of the task using the table below as a guide

| Difficulty  | DC |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  Simple  | 5 |
|  Moderate  | 10 |
|  Difficult | 15 |
| Very Difficult | 20 |

- **DC Tilt:**  Depending on the approach of the player’s attempted **Action**, the DM might say that the attempt becomes **Very Easy** **(-5)**, **Easy** **(-3)**, **Hard** **(+3)**, or **Very Hard** **(+5)**.  This is intended to promote negotiation and flexibility.
- **Negotiating DC:**  Katey the Rogue wants to climb up a sheer cliff.  The DM says that would be a **DC 15 **Strength** check**.  Katey asks if she uses her climbing gear if it would be **Easy**.  The DM agrees, and the **DC** is **12**.
- **Fail by Five:** When a check fails by 5 or more, the DM may impose a more severe consequence.
- **Monster DC:** Monsters will generally be **Very Bad (-5)**, **Bad (-3)**, **Good (+3)**, or **Very Good (+5)** at a particular ability.

\columnbreak

## Campaigns, Adventures, and Tiers of Play 
Play consists of adventures completing a **Campaign**.  Each party defines the goals for the **Campaign** in working with the DM.  The **Campaign** is composed of a series of **Adventures** to achieve the goal.

These **Adventures** are sorted into different **Tiers of Play** as the players advance, defining how the characters face more difficult challenges as the game progresses.  There may be a time skip between different **Tiers of Play** as the characters advance.  The levels this encompasses are listed in parenthesis.
<br><br>
**Apprentice** (1-2) - Adventurers are often still being mentored and have not come into their defining skills and abilities.  Challenges are often harrowing and deadly and not all characters survive.  Surviving these challenges drives the adventurers to further hone their skills through training.  Think Luke Skywalker in the beginning of A New Hope, where he gets wrecked by Tusken Raiders.
<br><br>
**Journeyman** (3-5) - Adventurers spend some time training, discover their powers and now seek to test themselves.  By the end of this tier, they really come into their own at level 5.  Think Luke Skywalker in the beginning of Empire Strikes Back, where he can use the force to summon his lightsaber and free himself from the wampa, and by the end of the movie he is able to hold his own against Darth Vader (for a time).
<br><br>
**Veteran** (6-8) - Adventurers are done training and are now growing their competence through their own experiences.  Think Luke Skywalker at the beginning of Return of the Jedi, where he has come into his full power and is able to competently rescue his friends from Jabba the Hutt using a wide range of skills and abilities.
<br><br>
**Champion** (9-10) - Adventurers have mastered their abilities and are prepared to face their toughest challenges yet.  Think Aang in Last Airbender when he faces off against the Fire Lord.
<br><br>
**Epilogue** (11-20) - These levels are made available to allow some slack if a Campaign is not ready to be completed and needs additional advancement, so that players can dream about their characters continuing on, or to run a one-off after a time skip to see how characters may have changed and advanced.  These levels are not balanced for ongoing challenging play.

\pagebreakNum

# Character Generation <div id="chargen"></div>
To generate a character, your party will roll for **Ability Scores**, which you will assign.  Choose a species, homeland, and class, and any options for starting equipment.  From there you’re ready to adventure!
### Abilities
#### Strength
- Natural athleticism and bodily power
- Determines attack bonus for most melee weapons
- Can carry additional weapons equal to your ****Strength**** modifier

#### Constitution 
- Health, stamina, vital force
- Increases amount of **HP** per level

#### Dexterity 
- Physical agility, reflexes, balance, poise
- Increases bonus to **Light Armor**
- Increases bonus to **Dodge**
- Determines attack bonus for ranged weapons

#### Wisdom 
- Awareness, intuition, insight

#### Intelligence
- Mental acuity, information recall, analytical skill
- Increases **Skill Points**

#### Charisma 
- Confidence, eloquence, force of personality
- Used often for social checks

#### Luck
- Things work out when they shouldn’t
- Allows a failed dice roll to be rerolled once a day for each point of **Luck**.

### Determining Ability Scores
Table rolls **3d6** six times to create a standard array for the campaign.  All players use those numbers to create their characters.
<br>
**Luck points** are determined by the total number of negative attribute scores before **Ability Points** are applied.  If I have a -1 in **Wisdom** and -1 in ****Strength****, or -2 in either, I would have 2 points of **Luck**.  If the array has any scores higher than 16, then **Luck** is 0.
<br>
If the total of all scores is **60** or less, the party may roll again one time.  If the total is still 60 or less, take the difference between the rolled score and 60 and add it to the lowest score until it reaches 8, then the next lowest, etc.

\columnbreak

##### Ability Scores and Modifiers

| Score  | Modifier |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1  | -5|
|  2-3 | -4 |
|  4-5  | -3 |
|  6-7  | -2|
|  8-9  | -1 |
|  10-11  | 0 |
|  12-13  | +1 |
|  14-15  | +2 |
|  16-17  | +3 |
|  18-19  | +4 |
|  20  | +5 |

### Ability Points
You have 3 **Ability Points** you can distribute between your different **Ability Scores** which represent your natural affinity for certain abilities.  You cannot add more than **2** to an individual ability score and you cannot exceed a score of **16**.

### Ability Checks
The DM may ask for an **Ability Check** when your character attempts certain actions.  For this, roll a **d20** and add your Ability modifier.
  
### Defenses
There are four defenses determined using **Ability Scores** which may not exceed a base static value of 20:
<br>
#### Armor Class (AC)
Represents your ability to use your armor to absorb or deflect attacks against you.  This is calculated differently depending on the armor you are wearing.

#### Fortitude
Represents your ability to shrug off physical duress such as being knocked down, poisoned, or magics that directly affect your life force.  Your **Fortitude** is equal to 10 + **STR** + ****CON****.  If you have a negative modifier, you do not subtract from the score.

#### Reflex 
Represents your ability to evade, avoid and anticipate danger.  Your **Reflex** is equal to 10 + **DEX** + **INT**.  If you have a negative modifier, you do not subtract from the score.

#### Willpower 
Represents your ability to shrug off mental effects such as charms, mind control, or fear.  Your **Willpower** is equal to 10 + **WIS** + ****CHA****.  If you have a negative modifier, you do not subtract from the score.

### Grisnir

\pagebreakNum

## Drives
Your character has certain drives, including a core **Motivation** and **Fears** and **Flaws**.
### Motivation
Your **Motivation** has two parts.  A small seed and a big seed.  This is designed to provide a starting place for your character’s personality, but also be flexible enough to allow it to be discovered during play.
#### Small Seed
The first part, the small seed, does not need much detail, and is more for the DM than for you. It’s the vague, general reason why your character is doing what they do right now. It’s what they hope to gain from all the dungeon-delving and monster-slaying and treasure-hoarding.  It consists of a verb and a noun.  You may choose from the list below or make up your own.
<br>
* Amass wealth
* Earn glory
* Gain respect
* Accrue power
* Achieve status
* Earn recognition
* Obey duty
* Discover truth
* Do good
* Help others
* Perfect self
* Gain knowledge
* Indulge pleasure
* Fulfill destiny
* Stave off boredom
* Satisfy wanderlust
* Instill chaos
* Slake anger
* Mete out justice
* Spread the faith
* Take revenge
* Climb the ranks
* Build a following
* Prove mettle
* Master skill

#### Big Seed
The other seed – the big seed – is a single, short sentence. A single fact about your character. A single belief your character holds. A single idea. A single memory. A single desire or fear. It doesn’t have to be anything big or fancy or Earth-shattering. In fact, the smaller and simpler it is, the better. It should be short enough to write on the front of an index card in big letters. Or to write across the top of your character sheet. Because that’s what you want to do. You want to write it down big enough that you can read it at a glance.
<br><br>
One player – she was playing a tiefling wild magic sorcerer – wrote, “I hate and fear my uncontrollable magic.” That’s it. Short. Simple. To the point.
<br><br>

### Fears and Flaws

During the first adventuring tier (Levels 1-2) choose one fear or flaw below for your character, or feel free to pitch your own to the DM.

#### Facing your Fears and Flaws
As you face your fears over time and continuously over adventuring tiers, the DM might award a boon of courage.  For example, after a check involving your fear, you might gain a temporary point of **Luck** that lasts until you take a **Long Rest**.

#### Fears
You can end the effect of a fear for one round by spending a **Luck** point and succeeding on a DC 10 **Wisdom** check.  The **Luck** point grants **Advantage** on the check.
<br><br>
<b>Acrophobia</b><br>
You are afraid of heights and feel nauseous and dizzy when you are high off the ground.
<br><br>
<b>Aquaphobia</b><br>
You cannot swim, and quickly drown in water greater than your height.
<br><br>
<b>Bibliophobia</b><br>
You are afraid of books and reading.
<br><br>
<b>Entomophobia</b><br>
You are afraid of insects.
<br><br>
<b>Hemophobia</b><br>
You can’t stand the sight of blood.  You can’t stand the sight of blood.  This affects you when a creature has the Bleeding condition.
<br><br>
<b>Ophidiophobia</b><br>
You are scared of snakes.
<br><br>
<b>Necrophobia</b><br>
You are afraid of death.  This affects you when stabilizing downed companions as well as when facing undead.
<br><br>
<b>Nyctophobia</b><br>
You are afraid of the dark.
<br><br>

\pagebreakNum

#### Flaws

<b>Frail</b><br>
You are weak of body.  You might have a wracking cough that kicks in at the wrong time, a leg that goes bad on you, or find overall that exerting yourself is difficult.
<br><br>
<b>Naïve</b><br>
You are innocent and approach the world with wide eyed wonder. You have trouble assessing danger, generally assuming the best of others despite signs of hostility. 
<br><br>
<b>Socially Awkward</b><br>
You get anxious in social situations.  This might cause you to awkwardly stumble through conversations, reveal information you shouldn’t, or generally be indiscreet.  
<br><br>
<b>Gullible</b><br>
You believe almost everything you hear.  
<br><br>
<b>Simple</b><br>
You have only a very elementary education, and have trouble grasping advanced concepts.  
<br><br>
<b>Clumsy</b><br>
You have poor coordination and have trouble staying on your feet.
<br><br>
<b>Runt</b><br>
You are smaller than most of your kind, and have trouble lifting anything larger than yourself.
<br><br>
<b>Loud</b><br>
You can’t help making noise.
<br><br>

\columnbreak

<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
## Background
Your Background represents what your character was up to before they started their current adventure.  
* When called upon to make a skill check, you may say that the check applies to your Background.  
* Describe to the DM what happened in your background that allows you to have some additional expertise.  
* The check is then Easy (+3).  
* This may stack with your other Skills.
/,br/./,br>
Your background is described using two words, usually an adjective and a noun.  For example:
* Swashbuckling Pirate
* Hardened Mercenary
* Enslaved Gladiator
* Street Urchin
* Disinherited Noble
* Woodland Healer
* Grove Tender
* Academy Student
* Grave Digger
* Shrewd Merchant
* Gracious Courtier
* Shaghorn Shepherd
* Miasma Miner
* Wizard’s Apprentice
* Castle Cook
* Wandering Scholar
* Troupe Dancer
* Self-sufficient Outlander
<br><br>
**Example :** You want to swing on a rope across a chasm.  The DM asks for a** DC 10** Strength check.  Your Background is Swashbuckling Pirate, and you say you’d like to add your Background bonus because you used to climb ropes all the time on your ships, even once during a hurricane.  This is plausible to the DM, so you add **+3** to your check

</div>

\pagebreakNum

# Aegis

## Defender - Guardian - Paladin <br>
As an Aegis, you are driven to protect others, making yourself into their shield.
<br><br>
### Bulwark
An Aegis protects their allies by shielding them from damage by forming a **Bulwark**.
* You have a number of **Bulwark** points equal to 5x your level + 5.
* Whenever you use the **Loyal Sacrifice** ability, points are first deducted from your **Bulwark** before they are deducted from your SP and HP.
* You recover all **Bulwark** on a **Long Rest**.
* When an Aegis **Critically Fails** on spell roll or attack roll, you experience **Dishonor**.  While **Dishonored**, you cannot use your **Loyal Sacrifice** ability until you have successfully landed a **Smite**.

## Aegis Features

#### Armor is a Second Skin
* You ignore the **Bulky** and **Cumbersome** properties of **Heavy Armor**

#### Masterful Defensive Feint
* When you miss an attack, you may use your **Reaction** to roll a **d6** and add it to your **AC** until the beginning of your next turn.

#### Sacred Protector
* You get the **Loyal Sacrifice** talent for free
* **Talent Points** spent in **Thaumaturgy** do not disqualify you from **Master of Might**

\columnbreak

### Smite
* You have the ability to **Smite** your foes.
* A **Smite** represents your ability to empower yourself with supernatural strength to wreak havoc on your foes.
* You might use your **Smite** to wreathe your weapon in thunder or fire, release a flash of radiant light to blind your foe, or send an enemy flying with a kick to the chest full of divine energy.
* You declare your intended outcome with the **Smite** as well as the desired damage type.
* Prior to an attack roll, you can declare a **Smite**.  For the attack roll, you roll your normal attack die as well as a **Smite** die determined by the amount of **Smite Points** being spent.
* You have a number of **Smite Points** equal to your **Level**.
* The **Smite** die is **2d10** for one **Smite Point**, plus **1d10** for each additional **Smite Point** spent.
* The **Smite** die is added to the attack roll and damage roll.  
* The declared **Smite** does not increase the damage of the attack other than the **Smite** die, but could have some other combat effect.  See the example **Smites** at the end of this section.

##### Example Smites
* **Thunderous Smite:** Fill your weapon with the force of thunder, sending your opponent flying backward and knocking them prone
* **Staggering Smite:** Cripple not only the body but the mind, disorienting your opponent
* **Searing Smite:**  Ignite your weapon with white fire, lighting your foe and surroundings on fire.
* **Blinding Smite:** Release a flash of glaring light to blind your foes.
* **Daring Smite:** Fill your body with divine energy, leaping onto a foe’s back and driving your blade into its neck to ride it like a bronco.

# Cleric
## Templar - Healer - Ardent
As a Cleric, you wield the magic of Preservation by drawing upon your inner conviction and belief.

### Faith
Clerics devote their lives to a path of Faith, usually centered upon a certain deity, which comes with certain abilities and limitations.  You must work with your DM to determine the beliefs and deity your character is devoted to.
#### Vigorous Healing
You excel at healing others.  Your **Heal** spell heals **twice** as much **SP**
#### Combat Medic
* You must preserve your own life in order to aid others.  You start with the **Light, Medium, and Heavy Armor Proficiencies** and the **Martial Weapon Proficiency** talents.
#### Fervently Devoted
* You must start with the magical **Source** of **Fervor and Conviction**, filled with fervor for your chosen deity (See the Magical Talent Tree).
* You may not have more Magical talents outside the Thaumaturgy tree than you do inside it due to your devotion to your deity.
* You may only use radiant damage with your Blast ability.
#### Doubt
* When you **Critically Fail** on a spell roll, you experience **Doubt**.  **Doubt** is a thaumaturgical term that refers to the locking up of magical abilities.  You gain one point of **Doubt** for each **Height** of the spell that you **Critically Failed**, and each point of **Doubt** costs one point of **Willpower**.
* You may attempt to reconcile the **Doubt** through activities such as penance or meditation.  When you recover a point of **Doubt**, you also recover a point of **Willpower**.  You cannot recover more than one point per day.
#### Relics
* Clerics increase their power through venerating religious artifacts from famous heroes of faith, called Relics.  These can be used to create new talents or spells.
#### The Book of Common Prayers
* You can pray for guidance for your allies when they are making a dice roll with your **Action**, adding a **d4** to their roll or an **Upgrade** if someone (including you) is actively **Helping** them.

\columnbreak

#### Divine Intervention
* You can call upon the divine to intervene when your need is great.
* With your **Action**, describe the assistance you seek and roll a **Wisdom** check, applying applicable **Skills**. Allies may not **Help** unless they are also a **Cleric**.  This expends all your **Willpower**.
* Depending on the request, the DM will set a DC which will not be lower than 20.
* If the request is denied, you experience **Doubt** equal to your maximum **Willpower**.

# Fighter
## Warrior - Man-at-arms - Weapons Master
Fighters are good at using a wide variety of weapons and martial maneuvers to take down their foes.
<br><br>
### Stamina
Fighters use discipline and training to outwit their opponents in battle using their **Stamina**. 
* You have a certain amount of **Stamina** equal to your **Constitution** modifier + your level.  
* Using a **Maneuver** costs one **Stamina** point per attack.
* You recover all **Stamina** on a **Long Rest**.
* When you **Critically Fail** on an attack roll, you Fumble.
* You may spend 1 **Stamina** to double your Movement

#### War Relics

* **War Relics** can be used to upgrade weapons, armor, or other gear, such as giving a weapon an additional weapon ability.  They may also be used to learn new talents.

### Battle Features

#### Resilience
* You can draw on your **Stamina** to forge onward through difficulty.  
* You can use a **Quick Action** to spend 1 **Stamina**, roll 2 **Superiority die** (see **Combat Superiority**) and recover that number in Spirit points (**SP**).

#### Vicious Pommel Strike
* When you **Pommel Strike**, roll a **Superiority die** and deal the amount rolled in damage.
* You do not spend **Stamina** to do this

#### Limit Break
* Fighters can push themselves beyond their normal limits for a moment.  
* On your turn you can take one additional **Action** on top of your regular **Action** and one possible **Quick Action**.  
* Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or **Long Rest** before you can use it again.

\columnbreak

## Combat Superiority
### Maneuvers
* A **Maneuver** represents your prowess and ingenuity.  
* You might use your **Maneuver** to **disarm** an enemy with the next attack, **trip** the opponent, or **smash them backward** to open access to a nearby corridor.
* Prior to an **Action** (most commonly the **Attack Action**), you can declare a **Maneuver**.  
* For the attack roll, you **roll your normal attack die as well as a Combat Superiority die** determined by character level.  
* The **Superiority die** is **added to the attack roll and damage roll**.  
* The declared **Maneuver** does not increase the damage of the attack other than the **Superiority die**, but could have some other combat effect: pushing back an enemy, tripping or entangling him, temporarily blinding him, and so on.

Keepers are sworn defenders of Nature, preserving it from corruption and protecting the flora and fauna of the wilds.

* Prior to an attack roll, a Keeper can declare a **Wild Move**.  For the attack roll, you roll your normal attack die as well as a **Wild** die determined by your current form.  The **Wild** die is added to the **attack** and **damage** rolls.  
* Your original and Quick Flyer forms roll a **d4**, Hulk rolls a**d6**, Elemental form rolls a **d12**, and all others roll a **d8**
* The declared **Wild Move** does not increase the damage of the attack, but could have some other combat effect: pushing back an enemy, tripping or entangling him, temporarily blinding him, and so on.
* You can **Wild Move** a number of times a day equal to your **Wisdom** modifier + 2.  This ability is restored on a **Long Rest**.

#### Restore Ruin
* Keepers are tasked by **Nature** to **Restore Ruin** they find in the world.

# Reaver
## Berserker - Barbarian - Slayer
As a Reaver, you fight with the strength of your passions.
### Rage
Reavers use raw muscle and frenzied energy to overpower their opponents with their **Rage**.
* You generate two points of **Rage** each time you take damage, when you kill an enemy, and when you **Critically Strike**.
* Using a **Power Move** costs **Rage** according to the **Rage Die** table.
* **Rage** makes you Blind to Pain, reducing incoming damage.
* You keep all points of **Rage** until you heal, whether from magical healing or that of a Short or **Long Rest**.
* When you **Critically Fail** on an attack roll, you Fumble.
* Your **Rage** cannot go higher than your level + 2.
* While you have at least one point of **Rage**, you have **Advantage** on ****Strength**** ability checks.
* If you miss an attack while you have 0 **Rage**, you gain 1 **Rage**.
* You may spend 1 **Rage** to double your **Movement**

### Power Move
* A **Power Move** represents your near superhuman strength and primal fury.  You might use your **Power Move** to shove an enemy into boiling lava, climb on top of a dragon, or send an enemy flying backward into another enemy.
* Prior to an attack roll, you can declare a **Power Move**.  
* For the attack roll, you roll your normal attack die as well as a **Rage die** determined by the amount of **Rage** points being spent.  
* The **Rage die** is added to the attack roll and damage roll.  
* The declared **Power Move** does not increase the damage of the attack other than the **Rage die**, but could have some other combat effect: pushing back an enemy, tripping or entangling him, temporarily blinding him, and so on.

| Rage  | Die |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1  | d4 |
|  2  | d6 |
|  3  | d8 |
|  4  | d10 |
|  5  | d12 |
|  10  | **d20** |

#### Blind to Pain
* As your battle frenzy intensifies, you become increasingly hardened against the strikes of your enemies.
* You reduce all incoming damage by your current amount of Rage points as if resisting it.

#### Fury Strike
* When you **Pommel Strike**, roll a **Rage die** and deal that amount in damage.
* The **Rage** gained by missing an attack at 0 **Rage** qualifies for using **Fury Strike**

### Reaver Features

#### Unarmored Defense
* While you are not wearing armor, your **Armor class** is **8** + **DEX** + **CON**.  You can use a **Shield** and still gain this benefit.

#### Danger Sense
* You have an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren’t as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger.
* Your **Dodge** bonus is **+5** while not wearing **Bulky** armor and your **Fortitude** and **Reflex** are **Hard (+3)** to hit.

#### Lean Into It
* When an enemy misses you with their attack, you can use your **Reaction** to choose to be hit instead, gaining 1 point of **Rage** in addition to any normal **Rage** gained from taking damage.
* You can then attack them and add a **Rage die** for the attack and damage bonus without expending Rage.

# Rhapsodist
## Aesthete - Bard - Skald
As a Rhapsodist, magic overflows from your creative energy and pursuit of beauty.

### Inspiration ###
Rhapsodists draw upon the intrinsic aesthetic energy of the world, weaving it through their passions and the passions of others to **Inspire** them to greatness.

* You have an amount of **Inspiration** determined by your level.  This **Inspiration** is spent for various Rhapsodist abilities.

#### Muse ####
* Rhapsodists seek aesthetic inspiration called a **Muse**.  This might be a compelling story, a unique instrument, or a wondrous discovery.
* This may be as simple as a fellow party member sharing a story you’ve never heard from them before, experiencing an unforgettable moment, or finding beauty in the simple and ordinary.
* Particularly powerful or meaningful **Muses** may allow you to weave the strength of its story and passion into a new talent or spell.
* * When you **Critically Fail** on a roll, you **Lose your Muse**.  You are unable to use Inspiration until you find a **Muse**.

#### Sagas, Songs and Tales ####
* You start with a magical **Source** of your choosing.  Perhaps you took this path due to your **Intrinsic Ability** for performance.  Maybe it took years of **Study and Discipline** to grow your talent.  Or perhaps you're simply a storied soul, filled with **Fervor and Conviction** for the spread of all that is beautiful.  (See the Magical Talent Tree)
* You also start with the **Silvertongue** and **Glamour** magical talents of the Old Ways.

### Rhapsodist Class Features ###

#### Harmonize ####
* In tune with the rhythms of others, you are able to join in with the abilities of your fellow party members.  This might include the Fighter’s **Maneuver**, Magister’s **Spellcasting**, or Rogue’s **Sneak Attack**.
* When an ally uses an ability that requires a dice roll, you can use a free ****Reaction**** to declare you are **Harmonizing**.  The ally has **Advantage** on that roll.
* On your turn, you must replicate the ability used or spend **1** **Inspiration**.
* You must have at least **1** **Inspiration** to gamble this way in order to use this feature.<br><br>
 **Example :** *The party’s Rogue hits with a **Sneak Attack**.  You declare you are Harmonizing, and the Rogue rolls his damage die with **Advantage**.  You may now use the **Sneak Attack** feature on your turn.  If you fail to do so, you spend **1** **Inspiration**.* <br><br>

#### Dissonance
* As you **Harmonize** with your allies, you can cause **Dissonance** with your enemies, using your wit, flourishes, or musicality to distract them.
* When an enemy uses an ability that requires a dice roll, you can use a free **Reaction** to declare you are causing **Dissonance**.  The enemy has ****Disadvantage**** on that roll.
* You may cause **Dissonance** before an enemy rolls an attack, rolls damage, casts a spell, or other ability check.  You must succeed on your own attack, damage roll, or spell in order to retain your gambled **Inspiration**.
* On your turn, you must replicate the ability used or spend **1** **Inspiration**.
* You must have at least **1** **Inspiration** to gamble this way in order to use this feature.<br><br>
**Example:** An opponent attacks an ally.  You declare you are causing Dissonance, and the opponent rolls his attack with ****Disadvantage****.  You attempt to make an attack roll on your turn.  If you fail to do so, you spend **1** **Inspiration**.<br><br>

#### Restful Rhapsody ####
* You can use soothing music or oration to help revitalize your wounded allies during a **Short Rest**.
* Your allies gain **2** additional **SP** per **Recovery Point**.
* Make sure to describe and roleplay how you do this, even in simple detail.  It not only adds to the game but also reminds everyone to add the bonus.

# Wayfinder
## Ranger - Hunter - Stalker
As a Wayfinder, your experience with wild and exotic lands has honed your hunter's instincts.
## Trick Arrows
* You have a number of **Trick Arrows** equal to **twice your level**.  
* You have modified these arrows with various techniques learned from your travels.
* A **Trick Arrow** modifies an **Attack** with a **Longbow** or **Shortbow**.  If the **Attack** misses, the **Trick Shot** misses, although if it affects an area the area is still affected. If the **Attack** hits, the **Trick Shot** is successful.
* You recover all **Trick Arrows** on a **Long Rest**.
* You cannot **Trick Shot** and **Multishot** at the same time.

### Elemental Arrows
 * You tie a small piece of an elemental stone to your arrow, either **Brimstone**, **Boltstone**, G**lacierstone**, or **Tremorstone**, imbuing it with an elemental effect.
* These **Trick Arrows** deal an additional **1d10** damage of their respective elemental as well as an additional effect.
#### Fire/Brimstone
**1d10** fire damage and sets enemy **On Fire**
#### Ice/Glacierstone
**1d10** ice damage and enemy is **Slowed**
#### Earth/Tremorstone
**1d10** quake damage and enemy is knocked **Prone** and **Staggered**
#### Lightning/Boltstone
**1d10** lightning damage and enemy is **Dazed**

### Hornthistle Arrows
* You craft arrows from **hornthistle**, a carnivorous plant with creeper fines that attacks creatures with living vines and viciously sharp thorns.  You can achieve the following effects with these arrows:
#### Ensnaring Arrow
* When the arrow impacts your foe, a writhing mass of thorny vines appears at the point of impact, **Restraining** the creature.

* While **Restrained** by this ability, the target takes **1d10** damage on its turns; it or an ally can use **Action** to escape with **Fortitude** against the **spell save DC**.

#### Hail of Thorns
* When the arrow impacts your foe, a rain of thorns erupts on contact, dealing an additional 1d10 damage to the target as well as any creatures adjacent to it.

\columnbreak

#### Improvised Arrow
* You think on the fly, making a unique shot the situation requires.  You might pin their foot to the ground, strike their hand and cause them to drop their weapon, or knock them back over a precipice.  For this shot, you may add your **Insightful Fighter die** to the **damage**.

### Insightful Fighter
* The more you fight a particular foe, the better you read its strengths and weaknesses and learn to exploit them. 
* On your turn, you mark a type of enemy.  For each attack you make after the first against that enemy type, roll an additional die and add the results to your **attack roll**.  
* This die begins as a **d4** and increases to a **d6**, **d8**, **d10**, and **d12** on each successful hit.

#### Distracting Shot
* When you miss an attack, you may use your **Reaction** to make an additional attack, rolling your **Insightful Fighter** die.  That first shot was just a distraction, of course.
* The **Insightful Fighter** die rolled is added to the attack roll and you roll the appropriate damage die for your weapon, adding your modifier as normal.
* You cannot use this ability to **Multishot** or after a **Multishot**

### Multishot
* At 2nd level, you gain the ability to shoot a number of arrows equal to your **DEX** modifier with your attack **Action**.
* You have a **-2** penalty to your **Attack** roll for each additional arrow shot
* You make one attack roll for all of the arrows
* You do not add your **Dexterity** modifier for damage
* This does not benefit from **Improved Attack**
* Each damage die represents one arrow, and you can allocate the damage die among targets or stack them on to one target

### Field Dressing
* Wayfinders are able to harvest parts of creatures they have slain to help them better face their foes.
* These resources can be used to increase the level of **Insightful Fighter** at the beginning of a battle or **Upgrade** a **Trick Arrow**.
For example, you might coat your blade in dragon’s bile to sear the skin of a frost giant.

#### Natural Attunement
* Talent points in the Old Ways talents do not disqualify you from achieving Master of Might

# Weapons
## General
***Skilled -*** You may only add your ****Strength**** or **Dexterity** modifier to weapons you are **Skilled** with.<br><br>
***Dual Wielding -*** To dual wield one handed weapons, roll the damage die for both and take the higher number.  All weapon abilities apply, but they do not stack.<br><br>
***Conditional Effects -*** Certain weapon effects are conditional.  Damage for the conditional effect is shown as base damage/conditional damage.<br><br>
***Improvised Weapons -***
If you have **Simple** weapon **Skill**, use a d4.  If you have **Martial** weapon **Skill**, use a d6.  You may suggest a weapon ability that make sense, such as a hot poker having the Blazing property.<br><br>
***Changing Weapons -*** You may change weapons at the beginning of your turn or with a **Quick Action** if the weapon is one handed.<br><br>
This means that if you make a Ranged attack with a two handed bow, you are going to be wielding the bow at the end of your turn, and attacks against you will have **Advantage**<br><br>
***Range -*** Each weapon shows its Ranges.  
* When attacking a target outside its listed ranges, you have **Disadvantage** on the attack roll.  
* Attacks against a creature wielding a weapon that does not have the Melee Range have **Advantage**.  
* Making an **Attack** with a Range of **Near** or **Far** has **Disadvantage** and provokes attacks of opportunity.<br>

<br>***Throwing any and all weapons -*** This means all weapons can be thrown, but melee weapons are thrown with **Disadvantage**.<br><br>
***In the bushes -*** Thrown weapons with a **Near** range can be recovered after the battle unless their attack misses.<br><br>
***Attribute bonuses -*** A weapon with a range of Melee uses the ****Strength**** modifier for attack and damage, while weapons with only a range of **Near** or **Far** use **Dexterity**.

<br><br>
***Parry -*** When facing an attacker with a weapon, you may use your **Reaction** to roll a contested **Attack** against the creature attacking you.  You may do this after you know what their **Attack** roll is.  If you win the contest, the attack fails and the creature is **Staggered**.
<br><br>
***Defensive -*** Gives **+1** to **AC**
<br><br>
***Bleed -*** After a successful hit, the target takes **2** damage **per adventuring tier** at the end of each of its turns (**Bleeding** condition) until it takes some **Action** to staunch the bleeding.  Does not work on creatures that do not bleed.  Does not stack.

<br><br>
***Bludgeoning -*** Makes it **Very Easy (+5 bonus to attack rolls)** to hit targets in **Heavy Armor**.  Damage is doubled against certain brittle materials such as wood, clay, or bone.
<br><br>
***Shield breaker -*** If your attack beats the target's **Fortitude**, the shield is bashed and the enemy is **Staggered**.  On a **Critical Hit**, destroys shield, does full **Critical Damage**, and the opponent is **Dazed** and **Staggered**.
<br><br>

\pagebreakNum

***Two-handed -*** do I really need to write a definition?
<br><br>
***Light -*** When you take the **Attack** **Action** and **Attack** with a **Light** melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a **Quick Action** to **Attack** with a different **Light** melee weapon that you’re holding in the other hand. 
* You don’t add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus **Attack**, unless that modifier is negative.
* The **Quick Action** attack does not receive the benefits of **Improved Attack**

<br><br>

\pagebreakNum

# Adventuring
## Time and Tension Die
When needed, the DM will provide a reasonable estimate of time passed from a specific activity.  In certain circumstances, time is tracked more carefully.
* **Combat:** For gameplay, combat takes place in terms of rounds and turns, with each round taking 6 - 10 seconds.  
* Note: This is a helpful abstraction, but in the fiction of the game this time represents more of an average and may actually be longer or shorter.
* **Tension:** When hostile or dangerous forces are in play, the DM may use **Tension Die** to keep track of time. Each **Tension Die** represents ten minutes of time.  When six **Tension Die** have been added to the pool, an hour has passed, and the DM rolls all the die.  If any of the die shows up as a 1, an adverse circumstance affects the party.

## Environment
#### Falling 
* When a character falls they take 1d6 damage for every **10ft** of distance they fall.
* The character lands Prone unless they make a **Dexterity check** greater than the height of the fall adding any applicable skills.
* If the damage taken is higher than the character’s **Fortitude**, they are reduced to 0 hit points and become **Unconscious** and **Dying**.
* If the damage taken exceeds twice the **Fortitude**, the character dies instantly.
* You can use your **Reaction** to attempt to grab a ledge or for ally to attempt to catch.  On this **Reaction** an ally may plummet to attempt the catch, streamlining their body to fall faster (perhaps they have a rope tied around them or are flying).

#### Suffocating
* A creature can hold its breath for a number of minutes equal to **2** + its **Constitution** modifier.  This is **Concentration** - any damage causes the air to be expelled and the creature begins suffocating.
* A creature that is forced underwater does not have the opportunity for a deep breath and begins suffocating.
* When a creature runs out of breath or is choking, it can survive for a number of rounds equal to **2** + its **Constitution** modifier.  After that time at the start of its turn it drops to 0 hit points and is dying and can’t regain hit points or be stabilized until it can breathe again.

#### Vision and Light
* There are three levels of light - **Bright**, **Dim**, and **Darkness**
* **Bright** light is a normal light condition, such as daylight.
* **Dim** light is filled with shadows, or the soft light of dusk, dawn, moonlight, or torchlight. It also applies when vision is lightly obscured, such as with a light fog.
* It makes **Stealth** **Easy (-3)** and checks to see things **Hard (+3)**.  
* **Ranged** attacks and **Dodging** ranged attacks both have **Disadvantage**.
* **Darkness** is pitch black. It also applies when vision is heavily obscured, such as with thick smoke or fog.  
* It makes **Stealth** **Very Easy (-5)** 
* Creatures without **Darkvision** are effectively **Blinded** (**Disadvantage** on attacks and attacks against have **Advantage**)
* Most monsters have **Darkvision**

#### Perception
* **Perception** allows you to spot, hear, or otherwise detect the presence of something.  It measures your general awareness of your surroundings and the keenness of your senses.
* Your **Perception** modifier is your **Wisdom** + **Intelligence** modifiers

#### Torches
* Torches last 1 hour and cast **Bright** light around the torch bearer in the area **Near** them and **Dim** light for another **20 ft** farther.
* Your party can carry enough torches for short trips, but the DM may impose a limit on the number of torches you have for longer treks in dark areas.  An example calculation would be that a character has their **Strength** score worth of torches with them.
* The DM may also choose to call for a **Wisdom** check to see how many torches remain if the party has been traveling for an unexpectedly long time. The base DC is 10 (can be adjusted).  On a success, 1d8 + WIS torches remain.  On a failure, 1d4 + WIS torches remain.
#### Lifting and Carrying
* Your **Strength** score determines the amount of weight you can bear. The following terms define what you can lift or carry.
##### Carrying Capacity 
* Your carrying capacity is your **Strength** score multiplied by 15. This is the weight (in pounds) that you can carry, which is high enough that most characters don't usually have to worry about it.
* You can carry two weapons (two **Light** weapons count as one set) and additional weapons equal to your **Strength** modifier.
You can carry a reasonable amount of supplies with you.  The DM may call for **Strength** checks in situations where you are exerting yourself while carrying a heavy load, or may impose a slower speed if you are carrying a great weight.
##### Push, Drag, or Lift
* You can push, drag, or lift a weight in pounds up to twice your carrying capacity (or 30 times your **Strength** score). While pushing or dragging weight in excess of your carrying capacity, your speed drops to 5 feet.
##### Size and Strength
* Larger creatures can bear more weight, whereas Tiny creatures can carry less. For each size category above Medium, double the creature's carrying capacity and the amount it can push, drag, or lift. For a Tiny creature, halve these weights.

\pagebreakNum

#### Rations
* Rations represent the Food and Water needs of creatures.  
* Creatures who don’t consume a ration for a day must make a **Constitution** check or suffer a point of Exhaustion.  The check is **10** + the number of days gone by without consuming a Ration.
* You can generally carry 10 days worth of Rations with you in a backpack.
#### Foraging
* You can spend an hour in a region and forage for rations.  You make a **Wisdom** check with a DC set by the DM depending on how hard food is to find.  On a success, roll a d6 and add your **Wisdom** modifier to determine the amount of Rations discovered.
You can forage once per day at Steady pace and twice per day at Slow.

#### Overland Travel
* When travelling overland, PCs must choose a speed from the table below.  
* For simplicity, distance is abstracted.  The DM will tell the party the time it will take to arrive at the destination for each speed (Two days at a steady pace, one if you really push it, and three if you’re cautious and cover your tracks).
* When you Push it, at the end of the travel day (8 hours), each character must make a **Constitution** check to see if the journey tired them.  If they fail the check, they take three levels of **Exhaustion**.
* Depending on the choices made during the day, the DM may rule that the DC is **Easier** or **Harder**.

| Speed  | **CON** DC | Speed | Effect |
|:---:|:-----------:|:-----:|:-----:|
|  Push it  | 12 | 4 mph | Perception -5 |
|  Steady  | - | 3 mph | - |
|  Slow  | - | 2 mph | Able to **Stealth** |

#### Carts and Caravans
* Carts and Caravans are assumed to have ample supplies packed for the planned journey.  
* If the journey is extended or adverse circumstances cause supplies to be lost, the DM will give the remaining supply in terms of the number of days remaining.  
* If the party needs to refresh their supplies at the Cart or Caravan, it reduces that time frame.
* **Example:** After travelling through the Misty Mountains, the party gets sidetracked after they're ambushed and captured by goblins.  When they get back to their caravan, they refresh their supplies, reducing their supply duration by one travel day.
* The party may want to set up a base camp outside a dungeon in the case they need to resupply.

#### Rolling to Return
* For the sake of fun, the DM may call for a Roll to Return to camp from a dangerous point in the dungeon rather than playing it out scene by scene.  
* Each PC uses their highest modifier for the check, with the DM setting the DC based on the danger state of the dungeon, starting at 10 and adding 1 for each hour it takes to return to camp, and being adjusted to be **Easy (-3)** or **Hard (+3)** based on previous actions in the dungeon.
* The DM decides if it is Dangerous or Arduous.
* **Dangerous:** 1d6 damage per 1 under DC
* **Arduous:** lose 1 load of equipment per 1 under the DC
* If a character is reduced to 0 **SP**, they roll on the ** Lingering Injury** table but still have their **HP** (damage is applied all at once).  If a character is reduced to 0 HP, they die or are left unconscious.
* The DM picks what load is dropped, starting with less valuable and less secure items.

#### Disposition
* The DM may occasionally roll a Disposition check to see how NPCs or Monsters react to the party.  
* To do this, the DM rolls a check behind the screen using the party’s total **Charisma** modifier as a bonus to the check.  
* This will tend to favor larger parties - after all, it’s not wise to be hostile when you’re outnumbered.

| Result  | Disposition |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1-12  | Hostile |
|  13-17  | Unfriendly |
|  18-22  | Neutral |
|  23+  | Friendly |

## Rest
There are two types of rest - **Short Rests** and **Long Rests**.

#### Short
* A period of downtime in which characters do nothing more strenuous than eating, drinking, reading, and tending to wounds. 
* You have a number of **Recovery Points** equal to your level which represent your deepest reserves of endurance.  
* When you rest you may spend these **Recovery Points** and heal **SP** equal to your **Recovery** (the **SP** you gain when you level up). 
* If one member of your party has a **Healer's Kit**, they may make a **Wisdom** check to heal **HP** instead where the DC is the amount of HP being healed.
* You may spend one **Recovery Point** for every 20 minutes of rest.  
* You recover all **Recovery Points** on a **Long Rest**.
#### Long
* A period of extended downtime in a safe location, such as an inn in a town, which includes sleeping and eating lasting 8 hours. 
* If you have spent more than 6 hours traveling that day, you cannot benefit from a **Long Rest**.
* All **HP**, **SP**, and **Recovery Points** are restored to full.

\pagebreakNum

## Experience Points
For each encounter an adventuring party experiences, they may earn Experience Points.  Experience Points are used to level up.
* An adventuring party earns **Experience Points** for accomplishing goals, whether that is completing a combat or a task.  
* The party does not have to kill all enemies - successfully negotiating a truce with a hostile force still results in **Experience Points**.
* **Experience Points** are not awarded for failed goals (a key enemy escapes from combat, combats that are narrowly won at high cost, or tasks that are not completed)

| Adventuring Tier  | XP needed per level |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  Apprentice (1-2)  | 1,000 |
|  Journeyman (3-5)  | 3,000 |
|  Veteran (6-8)  | 3,000 |
|  Champion (9-10)  | 2,000 |
|  Epilogue (11-20)  | 2,000 |

\pagebreakNum

# Combat
### Initiative 
* All creatures engaged in the encounter roll a **Dexterity** check to determine the order in which they take their turn.
* You may choose to **Wait** and take your turn at a later point in the order, but you retain that order for the rest of the combat.

#### Your Turn
* On your turn, you can take an **Action**, **Quick Action**, and Movement.  
* Before your next turn, you can also take one **Reaction**.  Some actions are free, such as communicating briefly with teammates (combat chatter is expected from characters) at DM discretion.

### Hit Points and Fighting Spirit
* Instead of traditional hit points as in 5E, you now have two pools to represent your health.  
* The first is your **Fighting Spirit** (**SP** or **Spirit**), which operates like traditional hit points, and represents your guard, glancing blows, and endurance in battle.  
* Once your **Fighting Spirit** reaches zero, you have a number of **Hit Points** (**HP**) equal to **5** + your **level**. 
*  Damaging hit points represents being cut, stabbed, crushed, etc.
* During combat, damage dealt to **SP** does not spill over into **HP**.  For example, if a character takes 10 damage and they have 3 **SP**, they take 3 **SP** and now only have their **HP** remaining.
* When you take any damage to your hit points, roll on the **Lingering Injury** table to see what injury you have received.
* When your **SP** is 0, you have the **Dispirited** condition.  When you are **Dispirited**, you have **Disadvantage** on **Attack** rolls and spells that target enemy creatures (offensive spells).  Now that your **Fighting Spirit** is broken, your focus becomes on self-preservation above all else.
* If your **Hit Points** reaches 0, you begin to die (see rules for dying).
* When you receive healing, the healing may be applied to HP or **SP**, but not both.
#### Massive Damage
* If you have at least 1 **Fighting Spirit** point and take damage in excess of the combination of your **Fighting Spirit** and **Hit Point** maximum, you begin to die.
* If you have 0 **Fighting Spiri**t (you’re on your **Hit Points**) and take damage in excess of the combination of your **Fighting Spirit** and **Hit Point** maximum, you are instantly killed.

\columnbreak

### Movement
* On your turn, you can move your speed and can break up your movement between attacking.  
* Most characters can move 30 feet, or 6 squares of movement.

#### Difficult Terrain
* Some terrain is harder to cross.  Every foot of movement in difficult terrain costs double movement (it costs 2 squares to move 1 square).

#### Prone
* When you are flat on your belly.  
* You can drop prone without using movement.  
* Standing up takes half your speed.  
* To move while prone, you must crawl, which costs double movement (2 squares for one square).

#### Moving Around Other Creatures
* You can move through a non hostile creature’s space, but only through a hostile creature’s space if it is significantly larger than you.  
* A hostile creature’s space is difficult terrain.

#### Flying
* Flying creatures have greater mobility, but also have the danger of falling. 
* If a creature’s wings or other flying method are hit while flying (generally a **Hard (+3)** to hit **AC**) then the creature plummets and suffers falling damage.

### Upgrading and Downgrading Dice
* When directed to Upgrade or Downgrade dice, consider the dice as a chain from d4 -> d6 -> d8 -> d10 -> d12 -> d4 + d12 -> d6 + d12 etc.
* Upgrading a dice causes it to go up a step on the chain, whereas Downgrading a dice causes it to go down a step on the chain

### Actions in Combat
#### Attack 
* Roll a **d20**, add the appropriate Ability modifier if you’re **Skilled** with the weapon, and tell the DM the total.  If it beats the **Armor Class** of the target, it hits.
#### Cast a Spell 
See Spellcasting
#### Dash 
* Double your movement speed
#### Disengage 
* Take up a careful guard so that your movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.

\pagebreakNum

#### Ready 
* You wait for a **Trigger** to spring an **Action** with your **Reaction**.  
* First, describe the **Trigger**.  
* Second, describe your **Action** if the **Trigger** occurs.  
* When you **Ready** a spell this way, you have **Concentration** XR, where X is equal to your **Constitution** modifier.
#### Use an Object 
* Interact with an object or part of the environment.
* **Exception:** When you drink a potion, it is a **Quick Action**.  If you feed a potion to a downed party member, it takes an **Action**.
### Reactions
#### Dodge 
* As a **Reaction** to an attack against AC or Reflex, after a successful hit and damage is rolled, you can attempt to **Dodge** the attack.  
* Roll a **Dexterity** check contested against the creature’s attack roll.  If it succeeds, against AC you take no damage and against Reflex you take half damage.
#### Combo 
* As a **Reaction** to another player’s **Action**, you may **Combo** with them, working with them such as a fastball special or combining spells for even greater effects
* The players describe to the DM how they are working together and the DM adjudicates the best way to resolve their intentions.  This may be making certain skill checks, rolling for spells, attacks, etc.
* Generally a Combo will result in an **Upgrade** of one or more steps for the damage dice involved and may also inflict additional Conditions onto affected enemies
#### Opportunity Attack 
* You can make an **Opportunity Attack** when a creature moves out of your reach or makes a **Ranged** attack (**Near** or **Far**).
* When making an **Opportunity Attack** as a **Reaction** to a **Ranged** attack, you go after the creature making the **Ranged** attack.
* Certain classes have abilities like **Disengage** or teleports that do not provoke an **Opportunity Attack**. 
* You also do not provoke if you are forced to move without using your movement (like an explosion or falling past an enemy).
#### Scramble
* You may Move up to your Speed.  If you do so, you may not also Move on your turn.
* **Interception:** You may use this **Reaction** to **Intercept** an enemy's Movement.  To determine the intercept point, count 5ft of Movement at a time for you and the enemy until you are adjacent.  If the enemy continues their movement, you may make an **Attack of Opportunity** against them.

\columnbreak

#### Pommel Strike 
* When you **Miss** a **Melee** attack, you may use your **Reaction** to strike your opponent with the blunt end of your weapon, **Staggering** them.  The enemy must have a **Fortitude less than 15**.
#### Defensive Feint
* When you **Miss** a **Melee** attack, you may use your **Reaction** to feint, giving yourself space to maneuver.  Roll a **d4** and add it to your **AC** until the start of your next turn.

### Miscellaneous 
#### Distance 
* There are ultimately three distances that matter for DM adjudication - **Close**, **Near**,  **Far**, or **Out of Range**.  
* **Close** is within **5ft** (adjacent).
* **Near** is generally within **30ft** (6 squares).
* **Far** is beyond that, generally out to about **60ft**.  
* For speed of play, and to avoid the slow and painful counting of squares, the DM may call out the current range regardless of actual square distance.  
* The DM may also declare that a described **Action** is outside reasonable range.
#### Cover 
* Depending on how much Cover there is, the DM will say the target is **Hard (+3)** or **Very Hard (+5)** to hit, generally corresponding to 1/2 cover or 3/4 cover.
#### Damage 
* Unless otherwise specified, all damage is physical damage.
#### Spectacular Damage 
* If an **Action** in combat uses the environment or terrain effectively or cleverly exploits the weakness of a foe, especially in a cinematic and particularly awesome way, the DM may grant **Spectacular Damage**.
* This adds **1d12 per adventuring tier** damage to whatever damage is dealt or environmental effect occurs.
#### Non-lethal blows 
* To make a non-lethal blow against an enemy, make a check using the ability modifier of the attack that dropped the foe to 0 **HP** with the damage dealt as the DC.  
#### Retreat 
* At any point in combat, the party may unanimously decide to **Retreat**.  
* When they do, turns are no longer tracked by **Initiative**; the DM will narrate events and the party will declare their intended actions from there.

\pagebreakNum

## Stealth and Hiding
**Stealthed** and **Hidden** are two different Conditions.

* **Stealthed** means that enemies do not know where you are or that you are even present
* **Hidden** means that enemies do not know where you are, but know your general direction.  
* Enemies tend to target creatures that are not **Hidden**, unless the **Hidden** creature has demonstrated themselves to be a serious threat.

### Stealth
* In order to become **Stealthed** from enemies, a creature must make a **Dexterity** check, with a DC based on the encounter and the terrain being crossed.  
* Plush carpet might be **Very Easy (-5)** to cross, stone would be the encounter DC, while crunchy leaves or gravel would be **Very Hard (+5)**.  
* The DM can always adjust the DC depending on conditions (such as a good distraction), and in certain circumstances may say that hiding is impossible (wide open areas).
* Attacks while **Stealthed** have **Advantage**.
* Creatures with special senses (blindsight, keen smell) may be able to detect a **Stealthed** enemy even if a check is successful, causing them to become **Hidden** (see below).

#### *SNAP* goes a twig
* If the players notice the DM roll a die (and behind the screen it is for **Stealthed** enemies) their character’s hackles are raised, and their intuition may tell them something is about, even if they don’t know where or what direction it might be coming from.

##### First Failure: Searching 
* The first **Stealth** check that fails alerts enemy creatures that someone is in the vicinity (a twig snaps from being stepped on, a flicker of shadow is noticed).

##### Second Failure: Found 
* At this point, the player must declare their next **Action** (try to escape, find a new hiding place, cause a distraction) and roll the next **Stealth** check with **Disadvantage**.  
* If the attempt fails again, the player becomes **Hidden**.

\columnbreak

### Hiding
* Creatures may use their **Quick Action** to **Hide**, becoming **Hidden** if no enemy creatures have line of sight.
* If creatures regain line of sight (either you attacked or they moved to find you) you are no longer **Hidden** and you cannot **Hide** in the same place again; you must move to a new hiding spot.
* When you lose the **Hidden** condition, you have **Advantage** on your next **Attack** **Action**
* If you start combat and no enemies have line of sight of you, you are **Hidden**
* The order in which you **Hide** and **Attack** matters.  <br><br>
**Example 1:** You run up to some crates, slide down behind them and **Hide**, then pop out of the right hand side and **Attack** with your Crossbow with **Advantage**.  At the end of your turn, you are no longer **Hidden**, but may have Cover from the crates, because you are still sticking out from them.<br><br>
**Example 2:** You **Attack** with your Crossbow, then run behind some crates and **Hide**.  On your next turn, you **Attack** with **Advantage**, then run behind another set of crates and **Hide** again.

\pagebreakNum

## Grappling
#### Grab
* A **Grab** involves grasping your target with a free hand so that they are unable to move freely.
* In order to **Grab** a creature, you must use a **Quick Action** to make a **Strength** check; it chooses its **Reflex** or **Fortitude**, although Fortitude is **Very Hard(+/-5)** (you need only be slightly fast to dodge a **Grab**, but very strong to shrug it off).  You must have a free hand to do so. 
* On a success, the target is **Grabbed** (speed reduced to 0).  
* The creature can escape the **Grab** by using its **Quick Action** to make a **Fortitude**/**Strength** check; it chooses its **Reflex** or **Fortitude**, although **Fortitude** is **Very Hard(+/-5)**.  You must have a free hand to do so.

#### Grapple
* A **Grapple** involves entangling yourself with your opponent so that they cannot attack freely.  This may look like a wrestling tie up, trapping their weapon with yours, etc.
* In order to **Grapple** a creature, you must use a **Quick Action** to make a **Strength** check; it chooses its **Reflex** or **Fortitude**, although Fortitude is **Very Hard(+/-5)** (you need only be slightly fast to dodge a **Grapple**, but very strong to shrug it off)  
* This check is **Very Easy (+5)** if the target is **Grabbed**.  
* On a success, you and the target are **Grappled** (attacks other than **Unarmed** with **Disadvantage**, **Fortitude**/**Strength** check to move).  
* The creature can escape the **Grapple** by using its **Quick Action** to make a **Fortitude**/**Strength** check against your **Fortitude**.  
* Attempts to **Grapple** a creature larger than you may be **Hard (+3)** or **Very Hard (+5)** depending on its size.
* **Grapple** does not require a free hand.

#### Submission
* You can perform a technique on a **Grabbed** and **Grappled** creature to manipulate pressure points so that you have full control over it, called a **Submission**.
* You must use your **Action** to make a **Fortitude**/**Strength** check against its **Fortitude** defense to do so.
* On a Success, the target is **Restrained** and **Grabbed** and you no longer have the **Grappled** condition.
* The creature can escape the **Submission** with a **Very Hard (+5)** **Fortitude** check against your **Strength** class.

#### Choking
* A choke is a specific type of **Submission**.  
* When using this type of **Submission**, the **Fortitude**/**Strength** check for the **Submission** roll is **Hard (+3)**.  
* If the roll is a success, the target is under **Submission** and begins **Suffocating** as long as it is under the **Submission** condition.

\columnbreak

## Companions
* A **Companion** is a creature who is inclined to obey your commands.
* Sentient **Companions** require a Basic Pack to supply.
#### Loyalty Levels
* A **Companion** has a **Loyalty Level** and has a unique bond with one player character.
* **Loyalty Levels** represent the strength of the bond between the creature and the player character and its overall loyalty to them.  They are awarded by the DM as this bond deepens and grows.
* **Loyalty Level** is used as a bonus modifier to any checks the creature may make.
* Damage dealt by the creature is equal to its **Loyalty Level**
* The creature has **HP** equal to its **Loyalty Level** but only takes 1 damage at a time (no need to roll damage on attacks against.)
* If the DM thinks that damage would be large enough to kill a Companion outright, they may roll damage and see if it exceeds 10x **Loyalty Level**.
* **Companions** have AC based on their armor type.  Light armor or Unarmored may add their **Loyalty Level** to AC up to a max of 5.
#### Commanding Companions
* You may **Command** your **Companion** with a **Quick Action** which allows them to Move their speed and change their stance from Attacking to Defending
* If a **Companion** is Attacking, they attack the nearest reasonable target determined by the DM.
* If a **Companion** is Defending, they can add +2 to either their AC or an adjacent ally's AC.
* In combat, the **Companion** hits if the character they are bonded with is successful with their Action (hits, casts a spell etc.), as they are inspired by their battle prowess.  They miss if the character they are bonded with misses.
* You can Command a number of Companions equal to your Charisma modifier or 1, whichever is higher.

\pagebreakNum

## Lingering Injury
**Lingering Injuries** are acquired when a character takes damage to their HP.
* When the injury is received after rolling on the table below, the player must describe the nature of the injury.  
* After the injury is healed, it is recorded as a **Scar** to be remembered in glory.
* Injuries can be magically healed with a Healed Spell and the Mend Injury talent, but afflict the body with Exhaustion due to the toll the spell takes on it.
* Whether the injury is healed by magic or traditional medicine, the specified level of Exhaustion is applied unless otherwise specified.
<br><br>
On the table below, roll a **d8+d12**.  This creates a bell curve of results where the middle results are more likely, so very high and very low results are bad.

\pagebreakNum

## Death
Upon taking damage that would reduce a player character below 1 hp, that player must make a choice to either fall and be Downed or go to Death’s Door.

### Downed
* If a player decides to be Downed they become Unconscious and are helpless, unable to take any actions
* The player must make a **Death Check** each turn, throwing the die behind the DM screen so that they cannot see the result. 
* A death check is **1d20** where 10 or above is a success. On a 20 the player stands up with one hp. If a player accumulates 3 failures they die. If a player accumulates 3 successes they no longer accumulate failures.
* The player accrues one point of Exhaustion for each failed death check.
* If the player fails the death check by 5 or more, they take an additional **Lingering Injury**.

### Death’s Door
* If a player goes to death’s door they immediately roll **1d20**. On a 1 they die. 
* Every time after that the player takes damage while at 0 hp, the player rolls a smaller die by one die size and on a 1 they die. 
* The die size to be rolled resets on a **Long Rest**.
* At the end of **Death’s Door**, the player accrues one point of **Exhaustion** for each time they rolled a die.
* While at **Death’s Door**, you do not have the **Dispirited** condition
### Misc. Rules
* In either case if a given player takes their full **Spirit Points** in damage while at **Death’s Door** or **Unconscious**, the player dies. 
* Any healing received in either case first sets the player’s health to 0 and then applies the healing. 
* Once a given player has taken fatal damage and gone to death’s door or gone unconscious if they take damage that would reduce the player character below 1 hp again within the same encounter, they do not choose again, and instead take whatever option they took last.

#### What is the First Height?

For example, if I want to use telekinesis to pull a goblet of water across the room toward me it would not even require the First Height, because I could just as easily walk across the room, pick up the goblet and set it where I’d like it to be.  However, if I would like to transmute the goblet into a hare, it would likely take the Third Height, as the difference between the objects is substantial and there is not a physical way to transform the goblet.
<br><br>
The Height required varies from person to person and day to day.  An experienced spellcaster may be able to accomplish amazing feats with even just the Second Height, while the next day the weave of the Memvrani might require the Third or Fourth Height for the same action.
(DMs are encouraged to rule as consistently as possible on the Height required for different actions, but this explains why there may be variance session to session and allows for flexibility).

## Casting Rolls

* When you use magic, roll a **d20** and add your ability modifier (determined by Source) to the result.  This may be called a spell check, casting check, or spellcasting check.
* You must roll higher than **10 + Casting Height** to successfully cast the spell.
* If you roll a natural 1, the spell goes wild and the DM determines the detrimental effect.
* If you roll a natural 20, the spell goes critical and the effect is doubled.
* The DM may rule that in certain situations, casting a specific spell is affected by DC Tilt (**Easy (-3)**, **Hard (+3)**, etc) which would increase or decrease the DC by the respective modifier.
* You must be able to speak and move your hands in order to wield magic.

\pagebreakNum

## Spells

* While aptitude in various disciplines of magic allow for general manipulation, **Spells** are certain workings of magic designed for repetition and consistency.
* Spells are described in an open way to encourage creative use and play.  Work with your DM to interpret your spell and its effects based on your roll.

#### Range 
* The Range of a spell is listed in its description.  You cannot cast Spells on creatures you cannot see, but you may attempt **Cantrips**.

#### Higher Spell Height Damage and Healing 
* Spell Heights are a standardized way to measure the magical energy of different spells.  When casting a spell at higher Heights, increase the damage die by 1 for each additional spell level, and the fixed amount of healing is multiplied by the spell level. (5 at 1 is 10 at 2 and 15 at 3).

#### Rituals
* Spells do not require a casting check or cost Will if the caster takes 10 minutes to cast the spell

#### Target Defenses
* If a spell lists a target defense, the casting roll must also beat that defense to be fully effective, otherwise it fails.

#### Concentration

* You can only have one **Concentration** spell in effect at a time. 
* If the attack damage you receive is higher than your **Fortitude**, **Concentration** is broken and the spell ends.

#### Situational 
* This spell is very likely to be modified by DC Tilt

#### Spell Save DC 
* This number is always 10 + 2 per adventuring tier, and is often used for ongoing effects and traps

#### MOD 
* Spellcasting modifier determined by class (**Intelligence**, **Charisma**, **Wisdom**)

#### Spell Tapping
* If you are out of your class resource to cast spells, you may draw upon your own strength.  It costs **5 SP** and **1 level** of **Exhaustion** per **spell Height**.

#### Arcane Cascade
* When you fail a spellcasting roll your next casting check has Advantage.  This effect stacks.

#### Altering or Improvising Spells
* If you’d like to do something with a spell that you feel is outside it’s description, describe to the DM your intended spell effect.  The DM will set an appropriate DC for the spell with the described effects.  From there, proceed with spellcasting as normal.

\columnbreak

#### Freely 
* Does not require an elevated Height to include this effect.  This does mean that the Effect itself can be achieved without the First Height.

#### Creating a new Spell
* You can create your own Spells if you have the resources to do so.  Some classes specify the resources needed, such as the Cleric's Relic, but the DM can offer other alternatives to you.
* First, describe what your spell will do with one sentence.
* Spells must be practiced to become effective, and there is no experience like the field.  
* The **First** time you attempt to cast a spell, it will be with Disadvantage and Very Hard (+5 to spellcasting DC).  Furthermore, the spell will not be able to be Recalled - any failure will be considered a Critical Failure.
* The **Second** attempt will be Hard (+3 to spellcasting DC) and still at Disadvantage and all failures are critical.
* The **Third** attempt will be a normal spell cast but still at Disadvantage and all failures are critical.
* The **Fourth** attempt is a normal cast but all failures are critical.
* The **Fifth** attempt is a normal cast.  At this point, the spell is considered mastered and may continue to be used normally.

## The Heights in Practice

* When it comes to game mechanics, each **Height** is an upgrade of the **Basic Attack** (**Blast**).  **Spells** described in the disciplines will be listed at the **First Height**.
