House Rulin' Our House Rules...

During our most recent games session, a couple of my existing "beta test" house rules were put to the test and ended up being finessed through actual play experience.

FORAGING: (a specialist skill of the Forester class) If Forester spends four hours obtaining food in the correct environment he can find sustenance for himself and up to four other people on a successful straight Saving Throw.

However, for every point he misses his Save by, he finds food for one less person (e.g. rolling 13 when your ST is 14 means you find food for three extra people, rolling a 12 means two extra etc).

Rolling exactly your Saving Throw means you find just the bare minimum, with quality (not quantity) increasing  proportionately for every point you roll over your Save.

HEALING WITH HERO POINTS: As the original Hero Point uses were written before I obtained the full Crypts & Things rules, this has now been modified to take into account the game's innovative use of the Constitution statistic in wounds and healing.

A Hero Point spent during combat on healing still just heals 1d6 Hit Points, however a Hero Point spent out of combat on healing now restores 1d6 Constitution points for the wounded character. This represents some kind of heroic measures taken to staunch bleeding, patch up serious war wounds etc
