Rule Adaptions

"Silence of the Heavens" uses some variations to common rules.

We will be utilizing the Pathfinder System but dipping into 3.5 as needed.
-----I will approve material on a case by case basis and those items will be put here.
  • 3.5 Druid: Only Shapeshift variation from PHB2.  Casting progression changed to mirror Sorcerer, but always automatically learn all Summon Nature's Ally spells 
    • Option 1: Lose all casting ability to gain the Unfettered variation of the Druid class.


Character Creation
  • Starting level 1
  • Core Races
  • Starting wealth 1,000gp and one minor magic item under 2,000gp
  • 20 point buy
    • No stats below 8
  • Every 4 levels
    •   +1 to two different stats, one mental and one physical.


Armor as Damage Reduction 
  • It has always bothered me that having heavier armor prevents you from getting hit and when I stumbled upon this little gem I knew it was a system that would work well for this campaign.
  • You gain DR based on the type of armor that stacks with most DRs.  Armor enhancement bonuses and a shield bonus (plus any enhancements) still go toward your AC (now called a defense bonus).  Check the link for specifics.
Level Up
  •   +1 to two different stats
    • One must be a mental stat and one must be a physical stat
  • You must spend an hour training per 1,000 experience points between levels.  You can halve this time if you have someone to train you.  You may only perform 8 hours of training per day.

Magic
  • Anytime you cast a spell you take one point of non-lethal damage for each level of the spell.  This damage heals back at the rate of one point per round, or all damage is healed the next time you rest.  This damage may also be healed by magic means at a 1-for-1 ratio
