[QUOTE="Kareyev, post: 206658, member: 4823"] Here are some rules I have come across in different games 1) Literacy is not automatic 2) The Preform skill is unique to the Bard class 3) In a very low magic campaign the Concentration skill was used to cast and hold any spell. (e.g. Cast Detect Evil roll skill check. To concentrate on an individual in 2nd round of use roll a 2nd skill check; et cetera.). 4) In character creation the DM gave 30 point buy for any character class, 35 points for any of the basic DMG NPC classes except Commoner, and 40 points for Commoner. Taking an NPC class did not count against multi-classing counts. This was to encourage PCs to come from humble beginnings. 5) Hero Points - There are million variations on this, but basically they boil down to the same thing. You get points for doing something heroic. You spend point to save your life or enhance a heroic action. Perhaps this is another thread in itself, but I am curious what hero point systems others have used. I am partial to a modified version of the Warhammer rules myself. [/QUOTE]
