This is why in future campaigns I'm house ruling long rests require a downtime day.

Yeah, I am totally running this game at some point. Which may or may not morph into a 5e Rifts rip off.

Sharks also electroreception. They are prey finding machines.

Oh, I like the naming. Thank you.

I feel with 5e, it could be house ruled to even just a minute of fighting, and most encounters still would not qualify as an interruption.

I got long standing issues with considering torches, or even lanterns, bright light. I treat them as light. Bright light would be direct sunlight, the effects certain spells, or other conditions like that. My thoughts as well. And having different characters with different perception strengths...

ugh, I forgot all about Ultavision. Bad grognard, no cookie for me. I'm not sure how I might differentiate it in what I am playing around with here.

yoink!

30 lbs. They are tiny creatures. Still strong enough to carry a crossbow. They might be slowed down if using variant encumbrance.

The way Darkvision is currently written is pretty generic. I am thinking about breaking up Darkvision a bit and adding a few more options. Rip it up: Blindsight Uses echolocation or air pressure changes to sense surrounding out to 60' Does not suffer from attack penalties from being unable to...

I could see where there might be some sort of need for a cost, since, when combined with Reckless Assault, it's giving an additional attack at advantage without any additional risk. That's two attacks with advantage every round at third level. Still, 1 level of Exhaustion is too harsh. So, I...

For a similar theme, check out FASA's old Earthdawn. The premise of the setting is that spikes in magical energy forced various groups into giant protective bunkers (Kaers) for a time until the the magic levels drop. The players then play characters from one of these Kaers exploring and...

I like this idea a lot.

I think I might have seen this and 2 HD seems like a better ratio for something like this.

I considered limiting to 1 level per short rest. I envisioned the scenario similar to the one you suggested, pictured a party just sitting for multiple hours while their barbarian or front line fighter patch themselves up, and wondered if they would actually be a benefit or drag to game play.

I'm going to be including a house rule that character can't regain hit dice if they have not had sufficient food, water, or rest, they don't regain hit dice. Thus they can't "rest" to gain HD which they use to offset no food or water. I agree tracking different types of exhaustion is unfun...

I've been thinking giving levels exhaustion when characters go down to zero hit points. However, the way exhaustion currently plays out, even one level of exhaustion is pretty rough. I am considering increasing the frequency and ways in which characters can gain exhaustion, such as through traps...

I am thinking of adding a house rule which would allow the use Hit Dice to reduce exhaustion. Probably with the requirement of either using a use of a Healer's Kit or some form of healing magic. In short, what problems might this cause? Beyond the Path of the Berserker's Frenzy, are there other...

Arcane Artillery has some pretty solid gun rules, though I would likely tone down the amount of damage and area of effect from automatic fire.
