Variant Rules (Anime Setting)
From D&D Wiki
Variant Rules[edit]
The following are writeups and links to various variant rules this campaign should use.
One Currency System[edit]
While various currencies act in a vacuum mechanically in 5e, in canon they are something of a universal lifeforce. This variant rule is intended to bring that concept into reality.
- Reiki and soul points are equal to ki points.
- Spell slots are equal to a number of ki equal to 6 times their level.
- Chakra points, mana points, cursed points, huntsman aura points, ice points, and fire points are worth half as many ki points.
- nen user aura points are worth one fifth as many ki points.
- reishi, reiryoku, and psychic power are worth a quarter as many ki points.
- RC cells and alchemical stamina are worth two fifths as many ki points.
- hardening uses and Mystic Eyes points are worth twice as many ki points.
- Wish points are worth one sixth as many ki points.
- Spell slots are worth a number of ki points as follows:
Spell Slot Ki Cost 1st level 1 ki 2nd level 2 ki 3rd level 3 ki 4th level 4 ki 5th level 5 ki 6th level 8 ki 7th level 10 ki 8th level 12 ki 9th level 15 ki
Additional Weapon Properties[edit]
- Long Reload - Similar to the reload property, a limited number of shots can be made with a weapon that has the long reload property. A character must then reload it using an action, or may use their bonus action to reload a single shot.
- Spread - A weapon with the spread property fires multiple projectiles with a single pull of the trigger. On a hit, roll the die listed in the weapon's spread property. The weapon's damage is dealt to the target a number of times equal to the spread die's roll.
Multisubclass[edit]
A creature is not locked to one subclass for each of their classes, and can instead gain features from a different subclass each time they gain a subclass feature, though features from each subclass are still gained in order.
For example, a fighter reaches 3rd level and takes the Champion Martial Archetype, gaining Improved Critical. At 7th level, they multisubclass into the Psi Warrior Martial Archetype, gaining Psionic Power instead of Remarkable Athlete. At 10th level, they may gain Remarkable Athlete or Telekinetic Adept, or can multisubclass into yet another Martial Archetype.
