Spell Castings
When you pick a spell caster please learn your spells :) You will need to cast spells from your spell casting focus or material components.

Picking up new material components for spells has to be done if there is a value next to that component. For all other components, this will be converted by a component pouch however new spells may require components.

Learning Spells
Transcribing a spell scrolls can be done it down time
Inventory
Ammunition
Won’t be tracked unless it’s is special
Food

Roleplay Rules
If you role play well the DC on rolls will be lower for you
Resting

Heroic Inspiration
A token that can be traded in to re roll any 1 dice. This will be given for epic moments, good roleplaying, and characters personal moments. It’s a good reason to write down personal goals.
Meta Gaming Rules
Please don’t meta game, just because you as a player assume something doesn’t mean it’s how it is for your character
Passives
To speed things up we’re not going to be rolling to see what you notice in each room you see, or if you pick up on a lie from an NPC. Or if you know some common history. This will all be told to you based on your passives. In rare cases you will have a skill check to investigate something
Turn times
When in combat if it gets to you and you haven’t decided what you will do in reasonable time then you will skip your turn
