These are some House Rules.
Meme names
Sorry, friends, but I am now placing a ban on meme names. No more "Dobby Dickmaster Jr. III."
Homebrew
Generally speaking, I'm in favor of homebrew. If you've found some that's interesting that you want to use, let me know. Listed below is some sanctioned homebrew.
- KibblesTasty's homebrew (main page)
- Inventor class (artificer)
- Generic elemental spells
- Stibbles' Codex of Companions
Unearthed Arcana
Generally, UA is open for grabs. Just let me know beforehand.
1 HP
While at 1 HP, you are unconscious. This also applies for enemies.
Getting hit while down
If you're dying at 0 HP and you're hit by an attack, you lose 1 death saving throw, not 2.
Inspiration
Three changes to inspiration:
- Inspiration can stack.
- Inspiration can be used after a roll to roll an additional d20, but must be done before the outcome is revealed. You must use the second roll.
- All of your inspiration (minimum: 1) can be burned to avoid death. You can do this after a failed death saving throw. You stop dying and stabilize with 1 HP. This can also be used on an ally.
Healing potions
Consuming a healing potion (or pouring it into another character's mouth) costs a bonus action, not an action.
Spellcasting twice per turn
According to the official rules, you can't cast two spells on the same turn, with one exception: if you cast a spell as a bonus action, you can use your action to cast a spell on the same turn if it's a cantrip.
However, my house rule is that you can cast two spells on the same turn, so long as one of them is 2nd-level or lower.
In addition, if you're a sorcerer, you bypass that "2nd-level or lower" limitation, allowing you to cast two spells on the same turn regardless of their level (obviously one still has to be an action and the other a bonus action).
This is all a sort of blend of Matt Mercer's house rule and Arcadum's.
Wish
When casting the wish spell, there is no danger of losing your ability to cast it ever again.
The last sentence of the spell description says:
Finally, there is a 33 percent chance that you are unable to cast wish ever again if you suffer this stress.
Just ignore that.
