Hawkes-Robinson House Rules: • Pick a Felllowship Focus (TOR/AiMe). Tie in with PC background and story. • Allow alternate rules of “Multiclassing” beginning on p. 163, and Feats beginning on p.165 (instead of an attribute gain at certain levels, there must be a story-related reason for how/why that feat fits your character’s story and background). 7. Equipment Checklist for Players • Location to be seated. • PC Sheet • Set of dice • Players Handbook • Player handouts (from DM) • Additional dynamic and static data storage tool (pencil/paper/post-its) and writing surface (if needed, like clipboard if using more relaxed seating such as sofas).
