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.
