Transformational Variant Rules

A transformational variant rule, when implemented into a campaign, will change the core dynamics. These rules change the core rules to make them more playable or more realistic while staying within the d20 framework.

• Fatal Wounding
• Miscasts
• Modified Survival Rules
• Vampirism

Radical Variant Rules

These are variants which completely overhaul the mechanics of the game both large and small, and often bear only a resemblance to the d20 system.

• Troubled Powers
