Variant Rules (World of Tyrus Supplement)

The things listed here are optional, but have been found useful and beneficiary to campaigns in Tyrus.

Rules

• Languages

This variant makes language a larger aspect during role play.

• Brawling

Rules for fight club brawling and bar fights.

• [[Dungeon Dash (3.5e Variant Rule)|Dungeon Dash]]

A game, or sport, where the participants fight their way through a dungeon for... Prizes?

• Hitting Yourself in Combat

This rule seems to make sense to me. If you swing with full force to hit something and the roll from your attack is 1, you run the risk of over swinging your weapon and hitting yourself with it. Very realistic. It also makes for some hilarious situations, increasing the fun of the campaign.

• Injuries From Damage

Massive damage can cause lasting, or even fatal, injuries.

• Working Gives Experience

A very useful rule to encourage crafting in the game. Crafting items gives experience.

• Armor Construction Rules

Awesome rules for creating armor using different techniques and materials.

• Magic Item Creation

Magic item creation variant that introduces blueprints for creating items.

• [[Negative Level Adjustment (3.5e Variant Rule)|Negative Level Adjustment]]

This rule might make someone want to play a kobold or something.

• Beneficial Drugs

A variant rule that introduces drugs! This actually could increase the idea that this is a full world. Every culture has substances that are either illegal or have some sort of addictive or other effect.

• Inherited Sorcery

This variant gives characters the option to have inherited magical powers.

• Expanded Religions

Rules for background information on different types of religious characters.

Templates

• [[Child, Variant (3.5e Template)|Child]]

An effective template for making a child character.

• Undead

A template to play as a character in his or her undead form. This could make for some interesting campaigns. The entire party dies, but they live on to fight for an evil necromancer?

Other

• Chocobos

The various rules, equipment, and ideas in this introduce Chocobos as a legitimate creature/mount in a world.
