Part 1: Rules and Mechanics
Using Each Ability Score
This campaign will feature tweaks to ability scores. Please take note of each of these changes as they are certain to apply to you.
Strength
Requirements
Weapons with the Heavy property now have a Strength requirement.
Damage Rolls
You add your Strength modifier to your damage roll when attacking with any melee or ranged weapon.
Carrying Capacity
Your carrying capacity is your Strength score multiplied by a number which is determined by your size catagory.
Size Catagory | Multiplier |
---|---|
Tiny | 5 |
Small | 10 |
Medium | 15 |
Large | 30 |
Huge | 60 |
Gargantuan | 120 |
Dexterity
Attack Rolls
You add your Dexterity modifier to your attack roll when attacking with any melee or ranged weapon.
Intelligence
Initiative
At the begining of every combat, you roll initiative by rolling a d20 and adding both your Dexterity modifier, and your Intelligence modifier.
Classs Tweaks
Barbarian
While raging, rage damage applies to all melee weapon attacks.
Fighter
Second wind now recharges on a Long Rest instead of a Short Rest.
Battlemasters may choose from the additional maneuvers listed on page xx.
Monk
Improvised weapons work with Martial arts as if they were monk weapons.
Rogue
Sneak attack works unarmed, and with any weapon, unless that weapon is a melee weapon with the heavy property.
Sorcerer
Wild Magic sorcerers must roll on the Surge table on pg. xx whenever a targeted spell attack roll from a leveled spell results in a natural 1, a natural 13, or a natural 20, or when a creature rolls a natural 1 against the spell save DC of a leveled spell.
Wizard
The War Wizard Feature Tactical Wit now allows you to add your Intelligence modifier to your initiative again after calculating it using the normal Redhill ruleset.
d20 + Dex modifier + (2)INT modifier = Initiative
Feature Tweaks
Bloodied Condition
Creatures who are reduced below half of their maximum hit points are bloodied.
Creatures with the bloodied condition may use its reaction to make one additional weapon attack per round.
The bloodied creature suffers a -2 malus to its Armor Class.
Exhaustion
When a creature fails a death saving throw, it suffers one level of exhaustion. This effect does not apply if the creature already has three or more levels of exhaustion.
Fighting Styles
This additional fighting style is intended to suplement those from the player's Handbook, and may be selected by any character when they gain access to a Fighting Style.
Juggernaut
You may use a shield, even while weilding a melee weapon in two hands, unless that weapon has the heavy property.
Wealth
Rather than tracking individual copper, silver, gold, or platinum pieces, each character's wealth will be represented in the form of an ability score.
Finding an item at the market at a price you can afford will require a Wealth check with a difficulty that is determined by the value of the item.
After making some larger purchases, you may suffer a malus to your Wealth score.
Prolonged periods of in-action may also reduce your Wealth score.
Adjusted Rest Rules
In this setting, it is even more important to take time out to rest and recouperate, both during and after a difficult adventuring day.
Short Rest
Duration: 1 hour.
You may now only spend 1 hit die during a short rest.
Long Rest
Duration: 8 hours.
You no longer recover HP automatically during a Long rest, nor do you recover spent hit dice, however, you may spend any number of hit dice during a Long Rest.
A long rest still requires a period of sleep, but six hours is sufficient.
Downtime
Duration: > 24 hours.
You recover 1 expended hit die each morning after completing the following conditions:
You must spend at least 24 hours in a safe and comfortable place.
You must spend at least 8 of those 24 hours sleeping.
You are restricted to light activities.
Inns, taverns, bathhouses, and friendly homes may all qualify as comfortable places to spend downtime.

Part 3: The World
Monarchies of the West
Albica
The Kingdom of Albica is a prosperous nation, under the just rule of Queen Miriella I.
Blessed with a warm, humid climate, Albica is known for producing some of the finest wines in the known world. The beautiful capital city of Carcona lies at the edge of the Red Wine Sea, and is home to over thirty-three thousand souls.
Avarr
Revark is ruled by King Villna II, brother of Queen Miriella I, of Albica.
This small kingdom lies north of the Kingdom of Albica, and was granted to King Villna II by his father Villna I.
Avarr is barely more than a dutchy and is entirely reliant on its alliance with Albica for defense.
Edassa
At the edge of the Great Sea lies the Kingdom of Edassa, ruled by Queen Anna II.
Poorer than her neighbors, Edassa's primary exports are iron and lumber. The capitol city of Limrik has a population of nearly thirty-eight thousand people.
Minors Powers
Myraa
The merchant republic of Myraa is ruled by Doge Tommala.
This small island republic is nestled in the Red Wine sea, and facilitates nearly all of the trade between the eastern and western realms.
Vinar
The northern realms of Vinar are home to several warring clans. The land is hostile to life, as are the people. There is little of value here for those who desire a long life.
Scarbia
Scarbia is ruled by King Wymark IV.
Bordered by mountains and forests, the Kingdom of Scarbia is somewhat isolated, but its access to large quantities of silver has given the realm a fair degree of influence with the Church of the Sun.
The capital of Scarbia, Glint, has a population of just over twenty-nine thousand.
Teryion
The kingdom of Teryion has long been renouned for its highly trained and regimented army.
King Magnus I is said to be the greatest general of this age, and perhaps the only man alive who could rival the dragonslayers of old in personal combat.
Tuilant
The great and expansive Kingdom of Tuilant is ruled by King Renout III.
The temperate climate and fertile soil of central Tuilant have made for a prosperous and populous realm.
The capital of Tuilant is Rosant, and it is home to well over fourty-thousand people.
Yarva
The Kingdom of Greln is ruled by King Dorrick II.
The North of the Red wine sea
Planar Spaces
The Heavenly Sphere
The Heavenly Sphere is said to be the home of the Fabled Gods of Old, as well as the Saints of the Church of the Silver Flame.
The Prime Material Plane
The prime Material plane is home to humans, goliaths, halflings, firbolgs, and goblins. It is a plane dominated by the various squabling kingdoms of man.
Alfheim, Domain of the Fey Court
Elves and Gnomes originate from this plane which is divided into countless sub-planes. These sub-planes are islands unto themselves which can be accessed through the Prime Material Plane.
Many of these planes are dominated by Great Elven Houses which serve as homes for elven families large enough to rival small human settlements.
The elves are ruled by the Moonlit King, who is the elf charged with performing the rite of spring, which grants the race its immortality. (Lunar Devil ToB p.110)
Purgatory
The Astral Sea lies far beneath the forested islands of Alfheim. The souls of the dead wait here to be judged.
The Seven Hells
Devils and Demons originate from this plane which is divided into seven subplanes, each sub-plane is dominated by a single devil with the exception of the Abyss, which is a bottomless pit populated by demons.
The devils lay claim to damned souls as they descend toward the 7th level. Souls left unclaimed are either devoured by demons, or left to spiral into the maddening vortex.

Deity | Alignment | Domains | Symbol |
---|---|---|---|
Vuthras | LN | Blood, Honor, War, Forge | A three-Headed Dragon |
Avatea | LG | Life, Light, Knowledge | A Phoenix, wreathed in Silver flames |
Sylhana | CG | Life, Nature | A great white tree in full bloom |
Nipha | CN | Tempest, Trickery, Grave | The skull of a stag |
Pyriel | CN | Madness, Death | A skull on a stone, bound together by chains |
Vuthras
Vuthras was the first of the Dragons. He sired countless generations of dragons which shared his divine blood.
The god of blood cared little for his duplicitous progeny, and bestowed his divine favor upon mortals who bested them through force of arms.
It is from Vuthras himself that the bloodlines of the dragonslayers of old derive their divine right to rule.
Avatea
Above the material plane, held aloft on the back of Vuthras himself, sits the heavenly sphere where Avabennu, the phoenix goddess awaits her rebirth at the dawn of the next golden age.
When the worthy souls of the lower planes are all gathered within her heavenly vessel, the world will be born anew, purified of evil.
Sylhana
Sylhana is a great tree which rises out of the Astral Sea, her blood holds within it the power to restore life to the dead.
Long ago, the elves stole her away and corrupted her gift to grant themselves eternal life. For this outrage, Sylhana used her great roots to split their world asunder.
Despite this treachary, Sylhana's children still grow across the planes, and through their generosity, the church can yet perform miracles.
(Note: The sap of the sacred trees can resurrect the dead, but if taken forcefully, it carries a terrible curse.)
Nipha
Nipha is a powerful storm which ravages the Astral Sea. Nipha seeks to vex Pyriel, the god of death, and deny him souls, so that he will fall into the Abyss.
Pyriel
Pyriel, also known as the god of death, the chained madman, or the god of the passage, appears as a tall humanoid figure in a tattered grey cloak.
Although titled as a god, Pyriel's position is one of divine punishment.
Pyriel, who was once a mortal man, angered Vuthras. In his maddness, he claimed to be a divine being greater than any other.
Aeons ago, Vuthras bound Pyriel in a thick chain, which was itself affixed to a great stone. Vuthras cast the stone into the Maddening Abyss and said unto Pyriel "Go forth and pass judgement upon the dead. For each unworthy soul you reap, I shall lengthen this chain, and forstall your fate."

Weapon Properties
Many weapons have special properties related to their use as shown in the weapons table.
Munition. 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. At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended ammunition by taking a minute to search the battlefield.
Heavy. Tiny creatures cannot use heavy weapons. Small creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons. A heavy weapon's size and bulk make it too large for these creatures to use effectively. A Strength score is listed in parentheses after the heavy property. You can only wield this weapon if your Strength score meets or exceeds the listed value.
Light. A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons. See the rules for two-weapon fighting in chapter 9 of the PHB.
Loading. Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire only one piece of ammunition from it when you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
Range. A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range shown in parentheses after the ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon's normal range in feet, and the second indicated the weapon's maximum range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can't attack a target beyond the weapon's long range.
Reach. This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it.
Long-Reach. This weapon adds 10 feet to your reach when you attack with it, but you have disadvantage against targets within 5 feet of you.
Special. A weapon with the special property has unusual rules governing its use, explained in the weapon's description in the next section.
Thrown. If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack.
Two-handed. Attacks made with this weapon require the use of two hands.
Versatile. This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A Strength score is listed in parentheses after the versatile property. You can wield this weapon in one hand if your Strength score meets or exceeds the listed value.

Special Weapons
Lance. You have disadvantage when you use a lance to attack a target within 5 feet of you. Also a lance requires two hands to wield when you aren't mounted.
Mancatcher. This weapon works like a net attatched to a polearm. In addition to the effects of the net, creatures which attempt to escape from the mancatcher suffer 1d6 piercing damage.
Net. A Large or smaller creature hit by a net is restrained until it is freed, A net has no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the net. When you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to attack with a net, you can make only one attack, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
Masterwork Weapons
Expert craftsmen are capable of creating weapons of extraordinary quality. Masterwork weapons gain a +1 bonus on to-hit and damage rolls. Unless the masterwork is a simple weapon or a net, it also gains one of the properties listed below:
Aerodynamic. When applied to a bow or crossbow, this property increases the weapon's short and long ranges by 30 feet.
When applied to a weapon with the thrown property, the weapon's short and long ranges increase by 10 feet instead.
Ergonomic. This item has been meticulously fashioned to facilitate ease of use. Its components have been carefully chosen to prioritize light weight and comfort. When applied to Heavy Armor, or to a weapon with the Versatile, or Heavy property, the Strength requirement is reduced by 1.
Gilded. This weapon has been covered in incredibly intricate patterns which have been etched and filled with gold. When displayed on your person, this weapon grants a +1 bonus to Charisma checks and Saves.
Silvered. This weapon has been covered in incredibly intricate patterns which have been etched and filled with silver. Melee attacks with this weapon count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistences.
Keen. This weapon was carefully honed using specialized techniques first developed in Kotush. If you roll a natural 1 on an attack roll with this weapon, you can treat the roll as a 10 instead.
Masterwork weapons cost ten times as much as similar weapons of lower quality.
Masterwork Armor
I should probably put some flavor text here. Masterwork armors don't gain a +1 bonus to AC, but they do gain one of the properties below. These properties cannot be applied to shields.
Ergonomic. This armor has been meticulously fashioned to facilitate ease of use. Its components have been carefully chosen to prioritize light weight and comfort. When applied to heavy Armor, or to a weapon with the Versatile, or Heavy property, the Strength requirement is reduced by 1.
Gilded. This armor has been covered in incredibly intricate patterns which have been etched and filled with gold. When applied to medium or heavy armor, gilding grants a +1 bonus to Charisma checks and Saves.

Tarred. This armor has been dyed midnight black. When applied to light armor, you gain a +1 bonus to Stealth checks while in dim light or darkness.
Masterwork armors cost ten times as much as similar armors of lower quality.
Other Masterwork Items
Expert craftsmen may also make an assortment of items of masterwork quality.
Silver Shackles. This set of shackles bares intricate silver detailing. These shackles render the wearer incapable of spellcasting.
Silvered Munition. This piece of ammunition has been dipped in silver. Ranged attacks made with this munition count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistences.

Raise Dead
5th-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M (a drop of sap from a sacred tree, which the spell consumes, and a sprinkle of loose earth)
Wealth DC: 15
Duration: Instantaneous
You return a dead creature you touch to life, provided that it has been dead no longer than 7 days. If the creature's soul is both willing, and at liberty to rejoin the body, the creature returns to life with 1 hit point.
This spell also neutralizes any poisons and cures any nonmagical diseases that affected the creature at the time it died. This spell doesn't, however, remove magical diseases, curses, or similar effects; if these aren't first removed prior to casting the spell, they take effect when the creature returns to life. The spell can't return an undead creature to life.
This spell closes all mortal wounds, but it doesn't restore missing body parts. If the creature is lacking body parts or organs integral for its survival - its head, for instance - the spell automatically fails. Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the target completes a full day of downtime, the penalty is reduced by 1, until it disappears.
In addition, the target suffers one failed death saving throw, which is permanent.
Reincarnate
5th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M (rare oils, unguents and incence, which the spell consumes)
Wealth DC: 20
Duration: Instantaneous
You touch a dead humanoid or a piece of a dead humanoid. Provided that the creature has been dead no longer than 24 hours, the spell forms a new adult body for it and then calls the soul to enter that body. If the target's soul isn't free or willing to do so, the spell fails.
The magic fashions a new body for the creature to inhabit, which likely causes the creature's race to change. Roll a d100 and consult the following table to determine what form the creature takes when restored to life.
d100 | Race |
---|---|
1 | Songbird |
2-9 | Goblin |
10-19 | Firbolg |
20-29 | Goliath |
30-49 | Halfling |
50-100 | Human |
On a roll of 1, the reincarnated creature loses all memory of its past life, becoming a creature of the forest, otherwise the reincarnated creature recalls its former life and experiences and it retains the capabilities it had in its original form, except it exchanges its original race for the new one and changes its racial traits accordingly.
Resurrection
7th-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M (a vial of sap from a sacred tree)
Wealth DC: 20
Duration: Instantaneous
You touch a dead creature that has been dead for no more than a century, that didn't die of old age, and that isn't undead. If its soul is free and willing, the target returns to life with all its hit points.
This spell neutralizes any poisons and cures normal diseases afflicting the creature when it died. It doesn't, however, remove magical diseases, curses, and the like: if such effects aren't removed prior to casting the spell, they afflict the targer on its return to life.
This spell closes all mortal wounds and restores any missing body parts.
Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the target completes a full day of downtime, the penalty is reduced by 1, until it disappears.
In addition, the target suffers one failed death saving throw, which is permanent.
Revivify
3rd-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M (a drop of sap from a sacred tree)
Wealth DC: 15
Duration: Instantaneous
You touch a creature that has died within the last minute. That creature returns to life with 1 hit point. This spell can't return to life a creature that has died of old age, nor can it restore any missing body parts.
In addition, the target suffers one failed death saving throw, which is permanent.
True Resurrection
9th-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M (a drop of sap from Sylhana, freely given)
Wealth DC: 30
Duration: Instantaneous
You touch a creature that has been dead for no longer than 200 years and that died for any reason except old age. If the creature's soul is free and willing, the creature is restored to life with all its hit points.
This spell closes all wounds, neutralizes any poison, cures all diseases, and lifts any curses affecting the creature when it died. The spell replaces damaged or missing organs and limbs. If the creature was undead, it is restored to its non-undead form.
The spell can even provide a new body if the original no longer exists, in which case you must speak the creature's name. The creature then appears in an unoccupied space you choose within 10 feet of you.
