Monsters, Mutations and Magic

 Anyone can become an Oath Carrier whether you're carrying an Oath under a spirit to a god. You cannot be cheating on multiple gods unless allowed by said gods in which you have one creature to follow your path under and follow the rules. Your Patron maybe fickle or they maybe loose with the rules. However for certain breaking the rules are ill advised. There is no benefit to breaking the rules unless you're a Paladin, only downsides and having to spend a lot of grail, time and go on a mission to gain favor back. Being a Oath Carrier means you're under a spiritual contract. Examples of oaths; "I cannot harm women and children" or "I cannot eat meat" What being an Oath Carrier entitles you to is power. A god of war will give you a +1 weapon mastery, at the cost of not allowed to be a coward. A goddess of lust will let you have a +1 advantage on persuasion at the cost of not being allowed to say no to sex. So do understand the cost and the price you're...

The goal with the magic system in mind is that I have more logic parts that can carry over from class to class for their abilities and carry over. To explain in better in terms; shared cost and abilities (to an extent) for each class at play. An example; a Bard instead of using Inspiration points like in DnD instead has a unique way of using Spell Stress to act as Inspiration points and the same with other classes of a similar playstyle for point burning. Does it increase the overall complexity? Yes. Does it remove some of the flavoring? Kind of but no. They're still generic points but how they're used is how they're flavored. After the whole, "oh were going to remove this thing so you can't use our stuff anymore, lol!" I decided to move towards making/ flavoring my own system, lore and culture with the gameplay systems. Not only that but the mechanics are designed to make certain classes better suited to the players before them with having it where the homebr...

A typical 8-hour long rest along with food and drink. Will reduce exhaustion by one step. Characters suffering from multiple levels of exhaustion will need several nights of rest. Exhaustion causes 1. You can go without food for as many days equal to three plus your hardy modifier (with a minimum of one) 2. Water is much harsher - if you drink even half the water you need in a day, you must succeed on a DC 12 hardy saving throw to prevent exhaustion. Lack of sleep  - if a PC...
