Basic Rules Changes

Rest Changes

Breather

An additional option is present called a "Breather". It takes a ten minute time period and does not provide health regain, only provides boons for things that say "Once per short rest" - Gives players a level of exhaustion if the rest is taken.

Changes to Long Rest

Hp doesn't fully regenerate after a long rest, use the hit dice points. Get half the max hit dice back at the end of the long rest.

Initiative

Nat 20/1

A natural 20 provides a +5 to initiative while a natural 1 pushes the player to the last position in the order.

Degrees of Success

Whenever the player rolls a skill check and they miss the DC by 3 or less than may choose to pass the skill test if they give up something else. For instance, if the player is preforming a persuasion check then partial success may mean bribing the said character.

The cost of the success can range from gold, hit dice, an item, reputation, item degradation, combat etc..... Each situation can be negotiated by the DM and player.

Alignment and Fame/Infamy

Alignment

Can now be changed by the actions of the player (For instance killing or robbing an innocent peasant is not a good boy thing to do)

Social Bonuses

Fame

Whenever the players preform good deeds in a way that others may know about it, their infamy can increase from (1 to 5). Whenever the players enter a new town or area, they may roll a d100. If the number rolled is lower than the fame score, the people of the area will have heard about them and treat them accordingly.

Infamy

Whenever the players preform bad deeds in a way that others may know about it, their infamy can increase from (1 to 5). Whenever the players enter a new town or area, they may roll a d100. If the number rolled is lower than the fame score, the people of the area will have heard about them and treat them accordingly.

Role play bonus

If the player explains what they do in great detail or does an action only in character, they recieve +2 for the role.

Weekly Recap Bonus

Who ever gives the recap from the last week in character gets an inspiration point.

Combat Rule Changes

Combat Rules

Drawing and Stowing Weapons

Sheathing or stowing a weapon requires the object interaction you receive as part of your turn. You can draw a weapon as part of an attack you make with that weapon, provided you have a hand to hold it (or both hands, for two-handed weapons). This includes thrown or ranged weapons.

Getting Up & Movement Speed

Mounting, dismounting, or standing up from prone expends 15 feet of movement, regardless of your speed. If a creature has less than 15 feet of movement, it takes all its movement to mount, dismount, or stand up. A creature with 0 movement cannot do these things.

Two Concentration Spells

The player can maintain two spells that require concentration if they use thier entire turn to maintain the spells. If they are damaged then they must roll two concentration checks for each spell maintained.

Sustained Spells

If you choose, you may have a spell last as long as you keep a spell slot at the appropriate level of the spell occupied. For instance, you may have mage armor last indefinitely as long when you take a long rest, the spell slot is not regained. This is allowed for any spell whos time last over an hour and does not use concentration.

Mounted Combat

A willing creature that is at least one size larger than you and has an appropriate anatomy can serve as a mount.

Once during your turn, you can mount a creature that is within 5 feet of you, or dismount. Doing so costs 15 feet of movement. If an effect moves your mount against its will while you're on it, you must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or fall off the mount, landing prone in a space within 5 feet of it. If you're knocked prone while mounted, you must make the same saving throw. If your mount is knocked prone, you can use your reaction to dismount as it falls and land on your feet. Otherwise, you fall prone in a space within 5 feet of it.

While you're mounted, you can control a mount that has been trained to accept a rider, or allow it to act independently. Intelligent creatures, such as dragons, always act independently.

While controlling a mount, you cannot move except to dismount. Instead, your mount moves both of you as you direct it during your turn, carrying you with it. Your mount can take an action at any time during your turn, but can only Dash, Disengage and Dodge. The two of you cannot squeeze through spaces too small for the mount.

In either case, if the mount provokes an opportunity attack while you're on it, the attacker can target you or the mount.

Using Certain Magical Items

You may draw and drink a potion yourself as a bonus action. Administering a potion to another creature requires your action. The same applies to Herbal Mixtures. Any creature capable of reading Common can activate a spell scroll.

Injuries

Injury

Becoming Injured Falling to 0 HP devastates your stamina. Whenever your HP drops to 0, you gain an "injury". An injury causes you to have a level of exhaustion while it is untreated.

Treating an injury Treating an injury takes a DC 10 medicine check and a short rest per injury. This could be actions such as setting a bone and making a cast or stitching up a wound. If the player with an injury goes down again or has a critical attack against them they need to have a DC 10 CON save or re-open the injury.

Another way to stabilize an injury is with a lesser restoration though this does not cure the condition entirely.

Curing an injury To cure an injury the players need to roll a DC 10 medicine check to see if the issue is healed over the course of a long rest. Only one injury can be cured during a long rest

Another method of curing an injury is casting greater restoration which will immediately remove the injury.

Vicious injuries

Sometimes when the players are adventuring they may come across truly monstrous creatures that are Vicious . A Vicious creature if giving you an injury will also give the player a permanent injury as well using the below table.

Permanent Injuries

Prosthesis

The player can get a Prosthesis from a special vendor in major cities for 50gp that works the functionally the same as the original limb after a month of practice. You have disadvantage on any task that uses that appendage until a month has passed.

Magical Burnout

From Giffyglyph's Darker Dungeons

A condition that will afflict the spell casters of the group is called magical burnout. Anyone who can cast a spell takes a D12. This is your Burnout die.

Whenver you cast a spell roll the dice. On a 1 the dice is lowered and you suffer a magical burnout effect on the table below and have your dice reduced from

1d12 -> 1d10 -> 1d8 -> 1d6 -> 1d4 -> 1.

Burnout Table

Recovering from Magical Burnout

Spend a hit dice Each hit dice spent restores the burnout die by one level

Take a short rest Taking a short rest restores one level of the burnout dice

Take a long rest A long rest restores the burnout die to the maximum

Weapon and Armor Degradation

From Giffyglyph's Darker Dungeons

Whenever you character rolls a 1 on an attack roll with a ranged weapon, spell focus or melee weapon it receives one dice of damage and has a reduced effectiveness to damage the enemy.

In the same note, whenever a character receives a critical hit their armor takes a dent of damage and the DC of the armor is reduced by 1 until the armor is repaired.

1d12 Weapons

1d12 - 1d10 - 1d8 - 1d6 - 1d4 - 1

2d6 weapons

2d6 - 1d6+1d4 - 2d4 - 1d4+1 - 2 - 1

Repairing damaged weapons/armor

Take a short rest When taking a short rest the character can use either repair tools (like a whetstone or a hammer) to repair one level of damage to their weapon or armor or use the mending cantrip to repair one level of damage to a single item.

Arrow Quarrels

Similar to the magical burnout you have a arrow quiver die that starts as a 1d12 and on a 1 decreases one level. Same Concepty as the other things. 1 gp to go up a level or craft arrows during a short or long rest.

II. Expanded Skills and Abilities

Expanded Skills and Abilities

Detailed below are a few additions to Ability Scores and Skills, that I feel add to the gaming experience and offer more depth to your characters and their interaction with the world.

New Ability Score: Sanity

Sanity represents your character’s mental well being and ability to stay calm and collected in the face of unreasonable situations. It’s something to keep in mind before reading the ravings of mad old wizards put to paper or investigating the temple of a dark god.

Sanity checks are uncommon as mental stability functions mostly as a passive resistance to loss of self-control and mental faculties. A sanity check can model attempts to push the limits of your mind or steel yourself against terror. Examples of sanity checks can be found below:

• Understanding the ravings of a lunatic
• Recognizing insanity in others
• Deciphering a piece of text written in a language so alien that it threatens to break a character's mind
• Overcoming the lingering effects of madness
• Comprehending a piece of alien magic foreign to all normal understanding of magic

Sanity saving throws are typically made against one of the following: fear, horror, or madness. Each of these types of sanity saving throws have their own triggers as described below. In addition to those outlined there, more possible triggers may come up.

Sanity/CR Table

Fear

Fear saving throws are the least consequential of the three types of sanity saves. Common causes for a fear saving throw are listed below.

• Seeing a lesser abberation, greater undead, fey, or fiend for the first time. (Use Table DC)
• Seeing a trusted ally or beloved friend killed. (DC 9)

If your character fails a sanity saving throw against fear, he will suffer from the frightend condition for 1 minute. If he fails the saving throw DC by 5 or more, the duration of this effect increases to 5 minutes. A character can repeat the saving throw at the end of every turn to shake off this effect. The character may also choose to take one level of maddness and remove the fear effect entirely.

Horror

When a character is confronted by a nightmarish revelation or experiences a brush with oblivion, they must succeed on a saving throw against horror. Common causes for a Horror saving throw are listed below.

• Witnessing a greater abberation, greater fiend or other powerful supernatural entity (Use DC table)
• Witnessing two or more of your party members being killed (DC 13)
• Having truely horrific revalations being revealed to you.

If your character fails a sanity saving throw against horror, he will suffer from the frightend condition for 5 minutes as described in the above section for sanity saving throws against fear as well as gain a level of maddness. If he fails the saving throw DC by 5 or more he will gain an additional level of Madness.

Nightmare

Madness saving throws are rare and highlight the toll of the extreme horrors your character is subjected to. Examples of events that might trigger a Sanity saving throw against madness include:

• Commiting a heinous act that goes against the beliefs and values of your character. (DC 15)
• Reading a tome that grants your character insight into the mad outer realms. (DC 15)
• Being tortured extensively or isolated from all human contact for long periods of time. (DC 15)

If your character fails a saving throw against madness, they will gain three levels of maddness. If they fails the saving throw by 5 or more, they instead gain a permanant level of maddness that can only be removed with a greater restoration or above spell.

Reduced Sanity

Any time a character is suffering from a level of madness, the character's Sanity Score is reduced by 1 for each level of madness they posses. A greater restoration spell can restore Sanity lost in this way, and a character can increase his or her Sanity Score through Ability Score gained by level advancement.

Maddness

Maddness Mechanics

Maddness can be caused by a variety of ways. If can be caused when the player sees a true horror of the world and thier mind can not longer deal with what they have seen. It can be caused when the players attempt to understand knowledge beyond thier capability and damages thier mind with what they've seen.

Many of the following maddness effects carry some form of mechanical detriment, but the real fun is being aware and weaving them into narrative and roleplaying scenarios. Consider how some of these effects might alter a social encounter, or adjust the character's reaction to a particular event. Don't be afraid to remind a player of their maddness should a moment arise where they may have an opportunity to incorporate it.

When the player aquires a level of maddness, they must roll 5d4. This is the DC of the maddness and what will be referenced when the maddness is experience, or when the player wishes to recover from maddness.

You can attempt to recover from Maddness after taking a long rest, rolling for each of the conditions that you may have aquired.

List of Maddness Traits

You also cannot take a short rest within 50 ft of any other player

9. Severely Phobic

You acquire a severe fear of a certain creature type of the DM's choice (typically similar to whatever causes this condition). When you enter combat with a creature of the chosen type, you become frightened of the creature for 1 minute and must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC is your corruption saving throw). On a failure, you are stunned. You can repeat this saving throw at the end of your turn.

Corruption

Corruption Mechanics

Corruption can be caused by a variety of ways. *

Many of the following corruption effects carry some form of mechanical detriment, but the real fun is being aware and weaving them into narrative and roleplaying scenarios. Consider how some of these effects might alter a social encounter, or adjust the character's reaction to a particular event. Don't be afraid to remind a player of their corruption should a moment arise where they may have an opportunity to incorporate it.

When the player aquires a level of corruption, they must roll 5d4. This is the DC of the corruption and what will be referenced when the corruption is experience, or when the player wishes to recover from corruption.

New Skills and Skill Changes

Changes to Intellegence

If player has in 8, cannot write or read.

Players can receive a bonuses in tool proficiency (max of one additional tool) or languages based on the bonus int char has with a maximum of two additions languages or skills.

For example, if the player has +2 int when starting the game they may choose to take an addition tool or language or two addition languages. The player cannot take two addition tools.

They do not get this benifit on level ups.

Skill Change: Persuasion

Is no longer tied to the CHA skill, can now be used with INT or WIS depending on the situation and approach. DC of tasks may be changed according to the option chosen.

CHA can still be used in all situations but the other two options now CAN be used if situation is appropriate.

Skill Change: Intimidation

Is no longer tied to the CHA skill, can now be used with STR depending on the situation and approach. DC of tasks may be changed according to the option chosen.

CHA can still be used in all situations but STR can be used if situation is appropriate.

Skill Changes: Animal Handling

This measures your ability to calm/pacify and deal with animals. Also proficiency in Animal Handling allows the character to control up to one creature with CR 1/2 max AC and that has been trained over several Long Rest (One long rest per 1/8 CR)

New Skill: Spellcraft

While the Arcana Skill handles the mechanical textbook understanding of magic very well, I feel the spellcraft skill of previous editions referring to one’s practical ability to cast spells, practice magic and use and craft magical items is a good addition to the roster of skills in 5e.

Classes with a full casting progression such as the Sorcerer, Bard, Cleric, and Wizard are automatically proficient in this skill. Classes with half casting such as the Paladin, Warlock, Artificer and some other classes with the plan of entering spellcasting archetypes such as the Eldritch Knight or Arcane Trickster can select this as one of the skills granted by their class.

The skill’s ruling attribute will vary from caster to caster. It is always based on the primary casting stat of the class they are using to cast a spell.

Spellcraft checks will be uncommon outside of specialized forms of casting such as altering a spell in a nontraditional manner (possibly even mimicking the effects of sorcerous metamagic), casting collaboratively with another spellcaster or using spellscrolls from another spelllist.

Skill Changes: Knowledge Skills

Knowledge skills (Arcane, Nature, History, Religion) will provide knowledge on monsters statistic based on the following formula. Also, each five levels above the DC provide will provide an additional piece of information as well.

Cantrip Changes

The PC can elect to take three extra cantrips as long as the PC takes a maximum of two combat cantrips. This only applies to strictly damage cantrips, if they have alternative uses (life control fire) then they are still allowed. This was to give the casters more interesting cantips to take for RP purposes as well as puzzle solving.

Background Changes

Basics of Backgrounds

I know that you boiz dont really bind your background into the character all that well so instead you may instead choose to learn an additional..

• Two Skills

However to do this you have to at least try and work these skills into your character background so be prepared to defend it when presenting you character.

We will just drop the bonus background ability

III. Racial, Feat, Prestige

Racial Changes

Darkvision

Free feat

At level 1, the players may take a free feat no matter thier race. However, they may only learn feats after this by spending the appropriate amount of downtime with a teacher learning how to preform the feat. Leveling up does not give the player new access to feats.

Learning Feats

The players may spend time with a book, trainer, or whatever else can teach them to learn a new feat during downtime. It takes 180 days to learn a new feat with a cost of 1gp per day as well as whatever thier normal living expenses may be.

This training can be broken up and does not need to be in one sitting

Prestige Classes as Feats

Prestige classes may be take as entire class features or instead may be taken as feats. These feats take the normal time to level up (180 days) and do not count twords your level.

VI. Item Changes

Slot based inventory

Instead of using weight or size for items, we are going to use Slots. Slots work in that your character will be alloted a different amount of slots based on thier size using the below table. Then, the player adds thier strength to the number of slots. This is equal to the total number of slots that your character may carry without becoming encumbered.

Carry Weight by Size

Food, Water, Money

In addition to the normal storage weight, your character may carry a ration pouch with upto five rations, a waterskin that holds upto five rations of water and a purse that can contain up to 100 assorted coins for free.

Encumberance

If you carry more than your total alloted slots, you are encumbered. You cannot move if you exced your total number of slots by double. If you are encumbered you have...

• Disadvantage on all rolls
• Speed is halved
• Gain Hunger, Thirst and Fatigue at twice the rate

Magical Containers

Each of these take an action to withdraw from and add a specific amount of space to your inventory.

• Bag of holding : +6 slots

Armor DR

In order to make having heavy and medium armor worth it with the increase in weight, they will now have an DR.

Heavy armor: now has a DR equal to the players proficiency.

Weapon Properties

Ammunition

You can use a weapon that has the Ammunition property to make a ranged attack only if you have ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition.

Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon). At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended ammunition by taking a minute to search the battlefield.

Bypass

These flexible weapons wrap around shields and other personal defenses. They ignore the AC bonus granted by shields and parrying weapons or reactions.

Ensnaring

These weapons feature chain, rope, hooks, or other parts that can aid in entanglement. When you hit with an ensnaring weapon, you can use your bonus action to attempt to shove the target prone, disarm them, or pull them 5 feet towards you, using your weapon attack modifier in place of Strength (Athletics).

Finisher

Finisher weapons are well-suited to executing enemies at your mercy. When you make an attack against a prone creature with a finisher weapon, you roll one additional damage die.

Gunpowder

These weapons utilize volatile chemical powder as a propellant to fire projectiles or explode. They cannot be used underwater. When you make an attack, a gunpowder weapon flashes brightly, expels smoke, and creates a bang that can be heard within 300 feet. Each time you attack with a gunpowder weapon, you expend one pinch of powder as well as a piece of ammunition. It takes an action to reload a gunpowder weapon.

Carrying too much powder is risky. Every time a creature wearing or carrying items with the Gunpowder property takes at least 20 fire damage, one of those items explodes and is destroyed. The blast deals 2d6 fire damage and 2d6 thunder damage to all creatures and objects within 20 ft.

Nonlethal

The weapon is designed to incapacitate or is otherwise capable of delivering a hit that does not kill the target. When you reduce a creature to 0 HP with this weapon you can knock a target unconscious and leave them stable. All weapons may be used to deal nonlethal strikes, but deal 1+STR bludgeoning damage instead of their typical value.

Parry

This weapons can parry incoming attacks. When you are attacked by a melee weapon attack from a target you can see, you can use your reaction to attempt to parry it, adding half your proficiency bonus to your AC for that single attack. Parries must be declared before the result of the attack is known.

Prone Fighting

When you are prone and make a melee attack with this weapon, you do not suffer disadvantage for being prone.

Special

Special weapons have some entirely unique property. These are detailed after the weapon charts.

Sundering

The weapon features qualities that crush, pierce, break, or penetrate armor. When you attack a target wearing a breastplate, brigandine, cuirass, halfplate, splint, or full plate, you gain a +2 bonus to the attack roll. You also gain this bonus against creatures with thick shells or metallic hides, and other creatures at the discretion of your DM.

Sweeping

These weapons strike in broad motions. When you reduce an enemy to hit points with a sweeping weapon, target another creature within reach and, if the original attack roll can hit it, apply any remaining damage to it. If that creature is likewise reduced to 0 hit points, repeat this process, carrying over the remaining damage until there are no valid targets, or until the damage carried over fails to kill an enemy.

Wind-up

You can prepare attacks with this weapon to make it even more effective. You can use an attack to wind up or set your weapon. On the next attack you make with the weapon, you add an additional weapon die and twice your Strength modifier to damage. A weapon can only add one such damage die in this way. If no attack is made by the end of the wielder’s next turn it is no longer wound up. The wielder can use an attack to keep the weapon wound up for a subsequent round. A weapon that is wound up can be used to make an opportunity attack when an enemy enters its range.

Special Properties

Blowgun Needle

These minute needles are especially potent when paired with a poison coating. When applying poison, a dose can cover 10 pieces of ammunition instead of the usual 3.

Cestus

The weapon is not held in the hand, instead wrapped around the wrist, held in the fingers, or covering the knuckles. Wielding this weapon does not prevent you from grappling or shoving an enemy, using an item, or climbing, but you cannot wield other weapons or perform somatic components with that hand.

Garotte Wire

Garrote Wire cannot be used on any creature greater than 1 size larger than you, and you must have advantage on attack rolls against a creature in order to target it with a garotte. On a hit, the target is automatically grappled and restrained. Until the grapple ends, the target cannot breath and chokes. Creatures that do not need to breath are immune to a garotte wire's choke at the discretion of the DM. Choking creatures die after an uninterrupted number of rounds equal to their Constitution modifier.

Lance

You have disadvantage when you use a lance to attack a target within 5 feet of you. A lance requires two hands to wield when you aren't mounted. If you hit with a weapon attack after moving at least 30 feet straight toward a target while mounted, the lance deals an extra 1d6 piercing damage.

Tower Shield

    To wield a tower shield, a creature must be medium or larger and have at least 15 Strength. Wearing a tower shield also reduces the users move speed by 10ft as they must now move with much more care across the ground. Its wielder can use their reaction to hide behind it to gain ¾ cover against harmful area-of-effects such as breath weapons or spells, so long as the effect does not travel around corners.

Spellshard

Tools: Jewelcrafting Weight: Small, 1 slot

A spellshard is a polished dragonshard, sized to fit into the palm of a hand. The shard is imbued with a particular work of literature. By holding the shard and concentrating, you can see its pages in your mind's eye. Thinking of a particular phrase or topic will draw you to the first section that addresses it, and a simple ritual allows you to add content to the shard.

A wizard can use a spellshard instead of a spellbook; the spellshard costs 1 gp per "page" in the shard, and otherwise functions as a mundane spellbook. Spellshards can also be used as diaries or journals. More advanced (and uncommon) shards can require a particular mental passphrase to access the contents of the shard.

IX. The Travel phase, Short Rest, Long rest and Downtime

Weather and the Enviromental

Cold Mechanics

In the world of Auguria, the weather is more often than not on the chillier side. In order for the players not to suffer the effects of cold weather, they must take precautions. When players go up in elevation, the tempature drops. When the players go to high latitude, the tempature drops.

Overall there are five levels of tempature that the players have to be aware of and many ways in which to increase players resistance to the change in weather.

Tempature Table

Causes of Tempature Drop

Cold Resistance

The players need to prepare before going out into the world if they think or know the tempature will drop due to the fact that they could very well die if they are not prepared.

How do Cold Endurance Saves Work?

The base level of Cold Endurance Saves is a DC 8 Con check every hour of exposure. Failing this save means the player gains one level of exhaustion. Every level above what the player has protection for adds +2 to the save.

For example : if the player has a protection level of +1 and its at level 2 cold where he is, the DC per hour is a DC 8 Con. Say though that it begins to snow, the level will drop one level more to level 3 cold, and the DC increases for the player from DC 8 Con check to a DC 10 Con check every hour of exposure.

Cold Resistance Table

The Travel Phase and Short Rest

Going from place to place shouldn't be a cut scene to black and then the player arrive. There could be dangers, travelers and weather conditions that could lead the players astray. To make the jouney there are three basic steps to prepare for.

Step 1: Plan

The first step in making a journey is planning - you need to decide where you're going, how you are getting there, and who you are traveling with.

• Pick the Destination: First, pick your destination. this could be a dungeon, city or landmark.
• Choose your route: Next, you need to decide the route that you are going to take. The length of your route is measured not in miles but in Days.
• Gather Supplies: Finally, gather any supplies, vehicles, equipment and merchandise that you need for the journey.

Step 2: Travel

Now that you have done the prep work you need to gather everyone and head out on your journey. The average day is broken into six parts. Dawn, morning, noon, afternoon dusk and night.

The Daily Cycle

Next I'll go over what happens in each of the six parts of the day during a journey. Dawn, Morning, Noon, Afternoon, Dusk and Night.

Dawn

With the sunlight coming over the horizion, its time to start another day of traveling.

• Check the weather - This can have a drastic impact on your travel plans. It would be best to avoid traveling during heavy rain, storms and snow. Weather will effect many of the rolls during the day and can complicate things.
• Assign Roles: Each player must choose what they do during the day. The list of activities will be explained in the next section.
• Set pace: Set the pace for the travel. You can go slow, normal or fast. This will be explained later.
• Eat breakfast: Everyone has to eat a single ration of food and water to start the day. Without this then the players have to start making CON saves or they will become exhausted.
• Pack up camp: Players have to pack up thier stuff and start moving!

Morning/Noon/Afternoon

Next you need to assign someone to fufill the following roles (At least the guide, the others are technically optional). There can be only one main person to fufil each of the roles but they can have a single helper give them advantage.

Travel Speeds

Walking

15 miles per day It doesn't take anything to walk somewhere but its a lot slower. You can do almost nothing else but walk during the day.

Horseback

20 miles per day: Hoseback will have limited options of alternaticve activities but you will move quite a bit faster. You can gallop over short periods but over long travel its not really an option.

Wagon

20 miles per day The wagons run at similar speeds to the horse but can carry a lot more supplies. You can also perform a larger varieties of tasks while riding the wagon

Player Travel Options

The Guide

The guide makes sure that everyone is going the right way. This player may make an INT check but can use survival, cartography tools or navigation tools depending on the situation.

   Success: The party is on track. Subtract today's        progress from the remaining travel time.

   Failure: You veered off course and lost your way. Add 0.5        days to the total days needed to arrive at your        destination.

The Guide Table

The Scout

The scout ranges ahead of the party and during the day's travel and keeps an eye out for dangers. If the scout fails, you might be ambushed by enemies and other hazards. You must roll on each stage of the day. Uses WIS (Perception) to scout ahead. A spy glass will give the player advantage in this task. DC is based on stealth roll of encounter.

   Success: Players are aware of encounters ahead

   Failure: You are not aware of whats going to happen.

Other Roles

If you have anything else youd want to do during the day the DM and you can work something out. It really depends on the situation.

Dusk and Short Rest Activities

Once the players have traveled for the entire day they will need to prepare camp and assign roles. First the guide for the day needs to find a good place to stay for the night before setting up camp. Failure to find a suitable campsite will make all rolls in the evening with disadvantage.

Evening Player Options

During the evening of rest, there are a variety of options that the players can participate in. They may only pick one major task in the evening to preform.

Taking a Long Rest

Below are the six steps that the player has to decide on when taking a long rest. Don't worry it really isn't that bad.

• Sell loot: Anything like gold items, magic swords can be sold to merchants and vendors without too much hassle
• Choose a Lifestyle: With your new found gold, do you want to save some of it and live like a pauper or spend it all and live it up in the town.
• Choose a Primary Activity: What is the main thing that you want to do in the town during the long rest?
• Hear Rumors: While preforming all of the other tasks you might hear about new adventures or troubles near the town from the locals
• Preform secondary Activities: You can do 2 other smaller activites such as shopping, meeting with friends in town or just relieving some stress.
• Settle Up: Here we see if you succed in your primary activity and remove all the wounds, afflictions and exhaustion that your character has been suffering.

Where can you have a long rest?

In order to have a long rest, the player must be in some sort of sanctuary such as a town, monastary, village etc....

Players cannot start a long rest in the wilderness unless it is a particularly safe location or is controlled by a group that keeps the location safe.

1. Sell loot

Selling art, goblets and other simple treasures takes only a little time. However if the player has more exotice treaures such as magical cursed magical items or high level magical items, they must instead spend the week looking for a potential buyer.

2. Lifestyle

The player has to decide during the week how they wish to live. If they sleep on the street for instance, it cost nothing. However choosing the cheaper options come with other problems such as a chance to catch a disease, to get robbed by thieves or have trouble with the town guard.

Other Lifestyle choices

If the player owns a home or has family, friends, a guide or any other organization willing to house the player, they may instead spend half the gold that is required to maintain a specific lifesyle.

3. Pick a Primary Activity

During the long rest, you'll have time to persue a primary interest. It is the primary focus of the week and something that you might spend at least half the day on each day.

You can only choose one of the following activities to participate in per week that the character long rests in the town.

• Work for Coin: The player may spend the week trying to earn some money either with a specific trade that they are trained in (such as smith tools or leather working) or as a basic laborer. Roll a Check for whatever tools you are using to make a living this week and recieve 1gp (DC 10), 2gp (DC 15) or 10gp (DC 20).
• Spread rumors: You can attempt to change the public's opinion on a single topic or spread a tale of your own. Not everyone will be swayed but the public in general might believe the new tale that you have spread (DC 10 Deception or Persuasion, +5 per scope of the tale)
• Find a Rare Merchant: You can spend the week attempting to find a seller to a particularly rare item. This could be a magic item, a novelty item or just something particularly rare. DC is determined by the rarity of the item the player is attempting to find. (DC 10 for rare, DC 15 for very rare, DC 20 for legendary)

• Craft an Item: If the player is skilled in a tool that allows them to craft certain items they may spend the week working on such items. They make roughly 100gp of progress per week. More expensive items will take more weeks to accomplish. This applues to mundane items or magical items.
• Learn a Skill: The player can attempt to learn a new skill, tool or language over the course of 60 days. Each new skill requires a trainer that must be paid 2 gp per day. Skills can be learned 5 days shorter for every bonus the player has to intellegence
• Train a Feat: Over the course of 180 days, the player can learn the skills required for a new feat. Each day of study requires the player to pay 2gp. Feats can be learned 10 days shorter for every bonus the player has to intellegence
• Research:You spend the week reading in a library or talking with experts on a field to learn something new. You can spend up to 15gp per "Thing" that you need to discover. If you have access to a library or experts due being on friendly terms you do not have to spend anything. You can research spells to add to your spellbook for 5 gp per spell level. Not all libraries have all spells.
• Carousing: You talk and socialize with the elite or well placed of the city to gain contacts. In order to do this position well it might be prudent for the character to live a lifestyle that lets them mingle easily with the group in question. It cost 25gp per week to carouse
• Rest and Relaxation: If you character is suffering large amounts of exhaustion, injuries or diseases it might be prudant to allow them a week to just rest and recover. If you spend the week resting you can roll all checks related to recovering from disease, addiction and injuries with advantage.

Mind Spore

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Until dispelled

You place a magical spore in someone's brain. The creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become affected by a Mind Spore. On a successful save, the creature knows that it has been targeted by a spell. On a failed save, it is completely oblivious as the spore enters its brain.

Another creature can attempt to discover the spore by looking into the affected creature's eyes. They must make an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. On a successful check, they discover the spore, which causes yellowish green specks to appear in the creature's eyes. Once discovered, it can be removed with anything that removes a disease.

At first, the spore has no effect on the target. However, it slowly grows over time, infecting the target's brain and eventually giving you control over them. The effects are listed below in the order they are given:

After 10 days: You always know the general location of the infected creature as long as you are on the same plane of existence, though you do not know any specific information about that location.

After 30 days: As a bonus action, you can read the infected creature's surface thoughts (those foremost in its mind, reflecting its current emotions and what it is actively thinking about) as long as you are on the same plane of existence. If you perform a 1 hour ritual, you instead gain access to any of that creature's thoughts since your initial casting of the spell. If the spell is dispelled at this point, the creature takes 5d10 psychic damage, as the spore has partially melded with their brain.

After 1 year: You gain the ability to cast suggestion on the infected creature, without expending a spell slot or material components, as long as you are on the same plane of existence. The creature automatically fails the saving throw. If the spell is dispelled at this point, the creature takes 10d10 psychic damage, as the spore has near completely melded with their brain.
