House Rules
We are using the rules from “D&D 2024”, also known as “One D&D” or “5.5 edition”. Here are the house rules that differ from the D&D 2024 rules:
- Feat – Lucky – When using Advantage & Disadvantage: you must say if you are going to use the luck point before the roll is made.
- Origin Feat – If you choose a Background from a non-5.5 book, pick your own Origin Feat from the list in the Players Handbook. They didn’t have them in character backgrounds before 2024.
- Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything – Subclass features (like Twilight Domain) that are not in Players Handbook are played as per Tasha’s (so Twilight Domain is active at 1st level)
- Surprise – The DM decides who is surprised. If neither side tries to be stealthy no-one is surprised. One member of a group can be surprised even if the other members aren’t.
Mechanics:- find the lowest Dexterity (Stealth) check of all sneaking people
- if the Stealth check is higher than the Passive Perception of an individual, then that individual is surprised
- surprised individuals can’t:
- move or take an action on the first round of combat
- do a reaction until the very end of the first round of combat
