Use as you see fit: Wounds A wound is an impairment that goes beyond mere HP. Each level of a wound can reduce D20 roll by 2 or reduce speed by 5, depending on the nature of the wound. Different Wounds can stack if applicable. Exhaustion levels still apply. A Wound can be reduced by a level...

I make no claims on the feasibility of any of the following. Any feedback would be appreciated. Arcane Archivist Prerequisite: You must be an elf or have an arcane background. Benefit: You gain proficiency in the Arcana skill if you don't already have it. Additionally, you can spend one...

Just a few things to try and clarify. My answers. Totally dark room, can a human see without penalty the area around a torch 100' away? Yes Does magical darkness between the human and torch do anything? Technically no, but the rules also don't cover the previous question, so I'd rule that the...

I had the thought and was wondering if anyone has done or know of treating the game as an actual game instead of a fantasy reality? Could be as a VR simulation or just how that reality work. Pop up screens with stats or a tattoo on the back?

Add a line saying that when "Binding of Infinite Power" ends, all spells cast with it also end.

Just curious how people manage this.

There's also the difference between the morals of modern society and a medieval fantasy. Say some one steals from you and gets away. If you find them later do you kill them? Modern has more option available so killing would be evil. In medieval the only practical choice might be to kill...

From a Queens perspective killing some humans won't wipe out all of them. Killing a queen would, so she might only recognize a human Ruler as an equal. The Queen might have a personal code to never murder, but that only applies to "equals" like Queens and Rulers.

The Hive may not directly try and attack, just move into areas and only kill if attacked. Destroy a town to build there, but let people flee. Idea for after a Hive win. Once they have taken enough area they settle down and don't over breed (unless threatened), they ignore any small group in...

If you want a perspective of a hive mind (and other alien view points) check out the Ender's Game novels. The 1st book doesn't touch much on the alien viewpoints, but the later books do.

Evil would be having a choice and doing something that causes suffering. Are the insects more efficient than humans? Do they farm crops? Do they farm meat? If so does that include humans? How much individuality do they have? If not much then kill a couple wouldn't only cause that threat to be...

I'd take it case by case but a dwarf wizard giving up armor prof would get more out of it than a dwarf fighter doing the same.

Overall looks fine. Only issue I'd have with it is a philosophical one. I think skills should be treated like a keyword. Anytime a keyword could be applied to a situation then you can use the bonus. This also means skills are not locked to an attribute. So backgrounds can be used as a skill...

Have them becalmed a few days with nothing significant happening. Have a few minor things happen, some they might not notice unless talking to crew or looking for. torn sail (with no wind?) food missing (the good stuff) cannon loaded and ready to fire water bad / missing a pigeon lands on deck...

Random thoughts: I'd have some mechanic that would allow people to notice that there was defiling being cast. Maybe have dead zones where there is not enough life to support defiling, so any casting is forced to be at the harder preserving. Too much defiling without enough nature would lead to...
