Welcome to our custom D&D content! This section contains all the homebrew rules, items, spells, and other modifications we use in our campaign. All content has been carefully balanced and tested for gameplay.
Important: All homebrew content requires DM approval before use in the campaign.
Campaign-Specific Rules
Critical Hit Rules
When you roll a natural 20 on an attack roll, you may choose to either:
Roll all damage dice twice and take the higher result (standard critical hit)
Deal maximum damage on all dice and roll one additional damage die
Death Saving Throws
Death saving throws remain at the standard 3 successes vs 3 failures, but:
Rolling a natural 1 counts as 2 failures
Rolling a natural 20 allows you to regain 1 hit point and become conscious
Healing from 0 hit points removes all death saving throw failures
Inspiration Rules
Inspiration can be earned through exceptional roleplay, creative problem-solving, or memorable character moments. You may spend inspiration to:
Gain advantage on any d20 roll (standard use)
Reroll any damage roll (new option)
Add your proficiency bonus to any ability check (new option)
Additional house rules will be added as they are developed and tested in play.
