#	House Rule Name	Class	Description	Notes	Source
1	Combat: No Called Shots	Realism	No called shots to increase damage, unless it really makes sense. You cannot say you are always swinging for the creatures head. This is assumed. Combat is complex, creatures in combat are almost always trying to kill you in the most effective way possible to survive.	Rule of Cool.	Azbolg
2	Critical Hits: Improved Damage	Buff	When a critical weapon or spell hit occurs: Roll as normal (dice + modifier). Then add the MAXIMUM from the dice roll(s). Then add both numbers together.	Nothing worse than rolling snake eyes on a critical.	Dungeon Dudes
3	Critical Hits: Improved Damage - Remarkable (20 x 2)	Buff	When a critical weapon or spell critical hit occurs: Roll another d20. If double natural 20s on occur. Damage is increased by x4 of the critical damage.	The gods smile on you.	Azbolg
4	Critical Hits: Improved Damage - World-shaking (20 x 3)	Buff	When a critical weapon or spell attack occurs: Roll a d20 again, if a natural 20 occurs again, roll ANOTHER d20. If another natural 20 occurs (x3 d20 rolls on the attack roll): Damage is increased by x8 of the critical damage.	The gods have taken notice of you.	Azbolg
5	Melee Attack Roll → Natural 1	Variance	When a caster rolls a melee attack roll, and the result is a natural 1, the target creature can use its reaction to do a Opportunity attack.	Allows for more variance and realism. (This works for players and monsters alike)	Azbolg
6	Nat 1 Attack Roll → Auto Fail	Nerf	When rolling ANY attack roll, a natural 1 always misses.	Allows for more failure	Azbolg
7	Nat 20 Attack Roll → Auto Success	Buff	When rolling a natural 20 on a attack roll, it is always considered a hit, and a critical hit at that.	Allows for more success.	Azbolg
8	Ranged Attack Roll → Natural 1	Variance	When a caster rolls a ranged attack roll, and the result is a natural 1, and another ally is direct melee combat with the target (regardless of direction, but typically when an ally's back is toward them), the caster misses the target automatically, and rolls against the lowest ally's Armor Class target in melee combat with the original target.	Allows for more variance and realism when firing into versatile combat. (This works for players and monsters alike)	Azbolg

#	House Rule Name	Class	Description	Notes	Source
1	Picking up Weapon	Nerf	When picking up your weapon within the threat range of a creature you provoke an AoO	Adds more realism, and makes going dropping your weapon, being disarmed, or dropping unconscious or dying, in melee combat more dangerous.	Azbolg
2	Prone: Standing Up	Nerf	Provokes OoA from any creature. And you lose your reaction standing up.	Adds more realism, and makes going prone in melee combat more dangerous.	Dungeon Coach

1	Magical Tatoos	Buff	Wizards can have spells tattooed onto their bodies, using special bending ink. This ink and the process of finding a skilled tattooer, who is also a bender themselves, costs x3 the normal inscription cost, and time over spell book inscription. Sometimes powerful wizards do this to show you who they are. The more tattoos they have, the more powerful the wizard typically. Wizards therefore have this as an option instead of inscribing their spells into their spell books which can be stolen. However, they usually need a way to see themselves in a mirror, or two, if say, the the bending inscription is on their back. This is quite common in Zin, because "branding" is so common.	Rule of Cool.	Dungeon Craft
