These are OUR house rules. Of course I'm willing to flex, add, remove, etc. Just let me know and we'll make something happen. Character Creation ! point "u#, nothing "elow a $, nothing a"ove !, before racial modifiers. %or example, a gnome with a &' (on, &' (ha, )' *tr racial mods could "egin with $ str, and have it reduced to +, "egin with ! (ha and have it raised to ,. -ach character gets ' traits plus campaign trait.
-ach character "egins with average gold for their class. ./ is maximum for class at level . 0fterwards, each hit die is rolled and witnessed. 1ou have one chance to re)roll a hit die "ut #ou must take the new result. /lease write a "ackstor#. /aragraph, a page, whatever works for #ou and I can tie it in to the stor#.

It was 8uite "alanced and made for some fun R/. 0lignment2 I would like to use the 3sliding scale4 alignment s#stem as presented in Ultimate (ampaign.

Sourcebooks: Rise of the Runelords utili9es the (ore Rule"ook, the 0dvanced /la#er's 6uide, and the Inner *ea :orld 6uide, and the 6ame 7aster# 6uide. 0s such, we will utili9e onl# these "ooks with the exception of Ultimate (ampaign and the 0dvanced Race 6uide. General Rules: There is a !; chance that raise dead, ressurection, etc. :ill not work. -ver#time the character dies, this chance stacks. .umans no longer get a "onus feat and instead get a modified silver tongued racial trait at a &< for free. All races "egin with either their choice of com"at expertise, spell focus =>, or an item creation feat for free. 1ou ma# counter)spell with an# spell of e8ual spell level as long as it is arcane or divine, matching the source of the opposing cast.

There are alternate s#stems for A/ that discourage 3farming4 t#pe gamepla#. If #ou prefer the normal s#stem I'm cool with that, if #ou're open to a different s#stem, let me know, otherwise we'll use the 3fast track4 advancement. %irearms 0vaila"ilit#2 Ber# rare guns. 7agic Items 0vaila"ilit#2 /ersonall#, I like the idea of a 3low magic4 campaign. -ssentiall# this means magic items are harder to come "# =not impossi"le>, and are generall# not for sale at Joe's :and *hop.
