[QUOTE="Lord Mhoram, post: 8674515, member: 4789"] Our games are solo games - 1 GM 1 player, and we use published regular modules as our time is very limited, so we want to actually game with that time, rather than come up with adventures - but we always work something that fits the character's story in there. In general that means the house rules makes things easier rather than harder. Escalation Dice (13th Age) - A d6 that turns to one number higher each round, Players get bonus from it. [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/114895/Black-Streams-Solo-Heroes']Solo Rules[/URL] (from Sine Nomine publishing) - Lots of changes too much to enumerate. Originally written for OSR, but works in 5E (it's free) Gestalt (from 3rd edition Unearthed Arcana) - basically dual classing like 1st edition, but at normal progression rates. Odd ability scores gain +1 for skill/ability checks. So a 13 DEX would be +1 to AC, ranged attacks, etc... but a +2 in skills. That bonus goes away when Dex would hit 14, and be back for 15. Stolen from a thread [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/odd-numbered-ability-scores.451740/']here.[/URL] And we are going to try out DND_Reborn's Maximum Upcasting up above. Edit to add - we use Level Up as our core system rather than 5E. They are all fairly simple, and really allow for a solo character to play published modules. [/QUOTE]
