House Rules: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

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. What we’re trying to do here, besides having fun, is write a novel together. If 5ft of movement, a bonus action or a disadvantage ruin that novel: Fuck the rules!!! There isn’t a rule as important as the rule of cool</q> - [[User:Seddik|Seddik]]
