This post is a collection of various house rules and rulings we’ve employed over the years. The intention is to update with additions/changes whenever needed.
* The posts/rulings below are intended to be a guide for when similar situations/questions arise in our current game. Note that some of these were issued several years ago, for different campaigns (and in some cases, different rule systems). I reserve the right to alter or update them, if warranted.
