- | ===== Ammo recovery in the RAW ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Let's go back to the RAW! That means, | ||
- | |||
- | AFTER battle, you get back half of your ammo (arrows, bolts, etc) rounded down and it takes a minute of searching. | ||
- | |||
- | When I wrote the original [[https:// | ||

- | ===== House rule №1: Aiming rolls ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Aiming is a new, house-ruled combat action! | ||
- | |||
- | You can spend an attack to instead aim! (So if you have "extra attack", | ||
- | |||
- | YOU HAVE TO DESCRIBE YOUR AIMING in a cool way to be allowed to aim! | ||
- | |||
- | Spending an attack in this way gives you an aim point. You can have any number of aim points, but whenever you gain XP, or rest, you lose all aim points. | ||
- | |||
- | Whenever you do a ranged attack vs AC, you can spend aim points to make extra attack rolls vs that same target. | ||
- | |||
- | The benefits of aiming are that you don't have to use ammunition or thrown weapons while aiming, and that you look cool. The downsides of aiming are that you might end up wasting aim points, and that you might not be able to spread out your attacks among a large amount of lower-powered enemies. | ||
- | |||
- | It's especially appreciated if you describe your aiming on a specific enemy, but the aim points aren't mechanically tied to a specific enemy, since taking your time steadying your ground, focusing your breath etc is beneficial even if you change your target. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Sniping ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Aiming reveals your position, unless you are invisible or you have an ability that lets you Hide as a bonus action, such as Cunning Action or Nimble Escape. If you do, you can stay hidden, but don't roll those stealth checks until you release your shot; once you do you need to make one Dexterity (stealth) check vs the target' | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Aiming Example ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Jenny has +5 to hit with her shortbow and she deals 1d6+3 damage. | ||
- | |||
- | Let's say she spends two rounds aiming at [[https:// | ||

- | ===== House rule №2: Charging up spells ===== | ||
- | |||
- | (This doesn' | ||
- | |||
- | You can charge up your spells by spending the casting time (for example, one action) and components (V, S, and/or M---with the benefit of spellcasting focus or component pouch as usual) of the spell. Each spell & slot level combination has its own pool of charge points, for example you might have one for Eldritch Blast, one for level 1 Sleep etc. You lose all charge points whenever you gain XP and when you rest. | ||
- | |||
- | YOU HAVE TO DESCRIBE YOUR CHARGING UP THE SPELL in a cool way to be allowed to do it. | ||
- | |||
- | Then when you cast the spell, you can spend charge points **(and extra slots, if the charged spell wasn't a cantrip)** to cast multiple copies of the spell. | ||
- | |||
- | You can not charge up spells if you are hidden or unseen, or if you are using subtle spellcasting. Charging up spells is an inherently noisy ordeal. | ||
- | |||
- | The benefit is that you can work compress ([[https:// | ||
