House Rules Menu Options

  

        The House Rules option allows certain house rules to be applied. These are customizable rules that are not the default guidelines established by the Players Handbook. These are:  Apply load penalty to AC and skills, Apply weight penalty to skills, Ask for free clothing at first level, Bypass Class Prerequisites, Bypass Feat Prerequisites, Bypass Max Skill Rank, Cross Class Skill Cost, Increment skills before leveling, Maximum starting gold, Treat weapons in had as equipped for attacks.   The checkmark by each option signifies that it is selected to be used for PC creation.

        The Apply load penalty to AC and skills sets the appropriate penalties when a PC’s carried equipment changes from normal to light, medium, or heavy load. This option affects all the penalties going along with having the appropriate load as determined in the PHB. Not selecting this option will allow the PC to have no adverse affects when equipping a heavier load than allowed.

        The Apply weight penalty to skills is similar to the Apply load penalty to AC and skills option but only applies the weight penalty to skills and not AC. Deselecting this penalty will remove all penalties with weight to affect the appropriate skills as determined in the PHB.

        The Ask for free clothing at first level presents the user with a pop-up when first creating the PC asking the user to select a free set of clothing for the PC to wear. Deselecting this option will cause the pop-up to not appear.

        The Bypass Class Prerequisites allows the user to ignore the prerequisites for a class and allows them to qualify for any class available regardless of what the material allows.

        The Cross Class Skill Cost determines the value of taking a skill that you is not part of your class. Normally the default is 2, this option allows you to choose: 0,1,2. This is the cost in skill points to take a skill that is a cross-skill for your class.

        The Bypass Max Skill Rank allows the user to ignore the maximum level for their skills (3+level) and take as many points in any skill as they wish.

        The Bypass Feat Prerequisites allows the user to ignore the pre-requirements for a feat.
