	The following are house rules used in the Elysium D&D sessions.		The following are house rules used in the Elysium D&D sessions.

			== One Character Per Session ==
			Players may have multiple characters available to them, however they must only play one character at a time during sessions. Ideally, the character intended to be used should be confirmed with the DM to ensure content can be prepared, and to allow the DM to telegraph if a character should not be present to avoid lore inconsistencies or similar undesirable outcomes.

			== Critical Success / Failure ==
			A natural 20 is considered to be the best possible outcome of a successful role. Similarly, a natural 1 is considered to be the worst possible outcome of a failure. While this does often mean that an action will be successful or failed, the two are not mutually exclusive; a critical success does not necessarily mean that anything becomes possible.

			== Sneak Attacks Out Of Combat ==
			While out of combat and performing a stealth attack on an unaware creature, the player is able to instantly execute their target provided they pass relevant skill checks presented by the GM

			== Rule Of Cool ==
			<q>Be mindful that rules, at least how I consider them, are not constraints; they are the framework we work on. Rules are meant to be broken.
