Free to Start Equipment: All players start with basic clothing, belt, backpack, small belt pouch, tools of the class trade such as thief tools, or spell book, or holy symbol, as well as spell ingredients (within reason, expensive ingredients you have enough for 1 spell casting).

Roll Methods: All methods in PHB & Player's Option are allowable

Divine Spells: On the fly prayer, do not need to pray for the following day in advance.

Magic Items: I'm looking at letting each character have 3 magic items to start with due to your starting levels/XP. Please nothing overpowering, run them by me and I'll approve or disapprove. Please lets keep the magic weapons and armor to +1 only. Potions, rings, misc. things are a bit different we can talk about them via PM.

Familiars & Animal Companions: are allowed, as are homunculus or similar companions/familiars. Steeds and pack animals are approved as well, just keep in mind you will be all over an urban area chasing (something/someone) so some places these things might not be able to follow or go easily.

House Rules & Other Stuff

Projectile Recovery: Arrows, Bolts/Quarrels, & sling stones & bullets. Unless the projectile was set on fire, dipped into acid, or destroyed in some other manner 25% of what you fire is recoverable unless otherwise specified (such as magic ammo descriptions that say they are destroyed once fired) Roll a D12 for recovery of each projectile see chart below.


Resting HP Recovery: rather than 1 HP per rest period per day you get 2 HP back. You can also recover HP using the healing NWP but this can also only be used to recover HP 1 time per day, multiple use will do no more than binding wounds, it will only prevent someone from bleeding out.

[GreyWolfVT]

Buying Potions : Basic potions not the extra healing or anything fancy is allowed I have no price guide to go by.
Healing Potion (Reg.) 100 gp per potion.

Buying Spells: so far I have agreed to let players purchase spells for 100 gp per spell.

Disclaimer: I am willing to have others more experienced with this help come up with a better pricing guide for both spells and potions. Also this page is subject to be changed and updated over time.

@GreyWolfVT, I'm just finishing up my character sheet and asking if will you allow the rule to apply from the PHB Table 15, where fighters can make 3/2 melee attacks after reaching 7th level?

Yes this is a given "allowed rule" I have no intentions of declining this PHB rule.
