[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 7932360, member: 54629"] Just thought I would post to comment on my house rules for the races and subclasses from this adventure: [B]Races[/B] [LIST] [*][B]Centaur:[/B] Banned because I don't like Medium-sized centaurs and because I felt a quadrupedal PC would cause more problems than it was worth. [*][B]Medusa: [/B]Banned because I feel like they should stay as a monster-only creature and because the implementation was seriously weak sauce compared to the [I]curse of the medusa[/I] effects. [*][B]Minotaur:[/B] Allowed as written. [*][B]Nymph: [/B]Allowed, but all racial spells are limited to 1/day to bring them into line with every other 5e race with innate spells. [*][B]Satyr: [/B]Allowed as written. [*][B]Siren: [/B]Banned except as a Cursed One PC with the curse being that the character is unable to use their wings to fly. The racial spells are also limited to 1/day as per the nymph above. [/LIST] [B]Subclasses[/B] [LIST] [*][B]Barbarian - Herculean Path: [/B]Allowed as written, although I am wary that Precocious Wrestler could be OP. [*][B]Bard - College of Epic Poetry: [/B]Allowed as written, although I personally find it rather fiddly. [*][B]Cleric - Prophecy Domain: [/B]Allowed as written, and I've clarified that all gods native to Thylea can grant this domain. (I've also added that Vallus can grant the Order domain from GGtR.) [*][B]Druid - Circle of Sacrifice: [/B]Allowed as written. [*][B]Fighter - Hoplite Soldier: [/B]Allowed as written. [*][B]Monk - Way of the Shield: [/B]Allowed as written, except that you must be a native of Aresia. [*][B]Paladin - Oath of the Dragonlord: [/B]Allowed as written. [*][B]Ranger - Amazon Conclave: [/B]Allowed as written, except that Bracer Defence replaces Extra Attack. (This subclass appears to have been written with the now-defunct revised ranger in mind, rather than the PHB ranger.) [*][B]Rogue - Odyssean: [/B]Allowed, except I've houseruled it so Clever as the Gods and Tenacious Survivor key of Intelligence instead of Charisma (to better match the fluff). [*][B]Sorcerer - Demigod: [/B]Allowed as written. [*][B]Warlock - The Fates: [/B]Allowed as written. [*][B]Wizard - Academy Philosopher: [/B]Allowed as written. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
