Message: <blockquote data-quote="Weiley31" data-source="post: 8602104" data-attributes="member: 7017196">Off the top of my head so far:-Rolling Attributes:     Rolling stats straight down. Instead of doing 4D6, it's 4D7. Ones and twos are rerolled. The Seventh roll for a stat is considered a "wild card" type thing. So, if you didn't like a number that you rolled for your stats, you can replace ONLY one of them with the seventh wild card rolled stat. Apply Tasha's +2/+1 afterwords. (My DM does this and was the method we used when I played DND 5E for the very first time ever about two years ago.)-Backgrounds:     Think it's stupid that a Background can make you "double up" on a Skill making it a waste and don't feel like, for whatever the reason, to replace the skill with something else? Well, if you double up on a skill due to background/class/whatever, you can gain Expertise in the skill if you want. I don't think it's broken if say like, an Elven Fighter chooses Perception as a class skill while already being proficient in Perception and gaining Expertise by doing that. Bards/Rogues can do it and it doesn't break the game into oblivion and back. You'll still get murdered by Demogorgon's force damage attacks, regardless, if some random fighter smuck has Expertise in one skill. (Fun Fact: Everyday Heroes does the same exact thing where doubling up on a skill gives you Expertise in it.)-Animal Companions:      Animal Companions scale using the Revised Ranger's Companion's Bond feature. This allows Animal Companions/their owners(the PC) to grow in power together and allows the Animal Companion to bump up their Attributes as well whenever the PC gains that option to do so. Feats may only be granted to an Animal Companion via certain tasks/goals/special circumstances/DM fiat/Amazing Achievements. And even then only one Feat would probably be given and that's it. Animal Companions, when gaining the two skills of their choice due to Companion's Bond, may also choose to "double up" on a skill to gain Expertise in a skill if they choose too. To make Barding not completely useless in a situation like that, if the PC's prof score is better than the Barding's AC, I just have Barding count as a +1/+2/ to AC ala shields. (granted your paying more for your pupper/critter to "use a "refluffed shield" but I don't have the time to make a big fuss over a proper work around.)            Sub Animal Compannion Rule: Tasha's *Primal Companions are also allowed to use the Revised Ranger's Companion's Bond to scale up in power too. Also, the traits of the "base form" of the Animal Companion still apply to the Primal Companion. So if a PC managed to somehow gain the trust of a Beast of The Land Primal Companion that was a Wolf: that Primal Companion will ALSO have Pack Tactics and Keen Hearing/Smell along with the Primal Bond and Charge of the Beast of the Land stat block. Sounds crazy, but Primal Companions are seen more as a "end game" type deal or something stronger, Animal Companion wise, compared to say, a random stray mutt that the Bard found at a shelter/pound. In terms of power/strength tiers for Animal Companions it would be: Random Animal(or non pc companion)---->PC Animal Companion----->Primal Companion.-Rolling for HP on Level-Ups:     Only gaining one HP every time you level up sucks. So, if you roll your HP and roll a 1 or below your class's average HP suggestion/recommendation, according to the PHB, you can choose to reroll. Originally, I thought of allowing unlimited HP rerolls, but I think what I'll do is, you can reroll your HP result, if your unhappy with it upon leveling up, up to your current CON modifier. So, if your CON is a +5, you get five free rerolls if you choose not to go with the average/unhappy with what you got. If your CON is +2, well you only have 2 rerolls.That's all for now.       </blockquote>
