[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 7444495, member: 6788732"] I have the following house rules. Pretty sure this is all of them, most haven't come into use. The only player that wanted to run a sorcerer with the brass dragon bloodline was still put off by the lack of acid spells on the sorcerer spell list.[U][B] Classes[/B][/U] [B]Sorcerer[/B] Sorcerers may choose any spell from any list which matches their bloodline. I.e. a storm sorcerer may choose the 3rd-level spell Call Lightning as one of their spells known. A black dragon sorcerer may choose Melf’s acid arrow as one of their spells known. [B]Wizard[/B] Wizards may learn to read captured spellbooks without needing to scribe the spells into their own spellbook. It takes the same amount of time to decipher the peculiarities of the captured book as it would take to scribe into their own spellbook but without having to spend money on inks. [U][B]Multiclassing[/B][/U] [B]Combining Caster Levels when Multiclassing[/B] Rather than rounding down, you instead add together all of your effective levels among the caster types to determine your spell slots. Only add class levels if the class has gained the spellcasting feature. Example. An Eldritch Knight 4/Wizard 1 has a caster level of 3. 2 caster levels from Eldritch Knight and 1 caster level from their wizard. Normally in this scenario, they would have a caster level of 2 as the Eldritch Knight levels are divided by 3 and rounded down to 1. [LIST] [*]Casters with 1/3 caster level combine levels as long as they have the spellcasting ability. Eldritch Knight 5/Arcane Trickster 3 has a total combined caster level of 3 (as if an 8th level Eldritch Knight. Would normally be 2 as the 5 eldritch knight levels would be divided by 3 and rounded down). [*]Casters with 1/2 caster level combine levels. A paladin 2/Ranger 2 would have a caster level of 2. A Paladin 2/Ranger 1 would have a caster level of 1 as the ranger levels do not yet grant spellcasting. [/LIST] [U][B]Spellcasting[/B][/U] [B]Bonus Action Spells[/B] If you cast a spell as a bonus action, you may cast any other spell that requires an action instead of only a cantrip. [LIST] [*]Quickened Spell now has a sorcery point cost of 1 + level of the spell (cantrips have a cost of only 1 sorcery point) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
