This is the list of House Rules that will be in play for this campaign.

General rules
All skills are Class skills for all characters. And some skills have been consolidated into new, more versatile skills, and these will be listed later under skills.

There is no XP penalty for multiclassing.

If the character already has a Feat that he is given automatically when he gains a new Level or a new Class, he can choose another appropriate Feat instead, with DM approval. Weapon Proficiencies, Armor Proficiencies, and Shield Proficiencies only give one Feat per group, no matter how many feats the character has in that group and only if he doesn't gain another Feat of that group at the same time. If this happens with Special Abilities, he’s either given the next level or a suitable Feat.

Ask me if you want me to give you an example of this.

A critical hit is always a critical hit, you don't have to roll to confirm that.

Each level, you get the maximum hp for your class. Monsters and NPCs also have maximum hp.

Species
Only those species listed in the DLCS without Level Adjustments are included.
Dwarf: Stonecunning modifies Perception instead of Search. +1 attack vs. ogres instead of orcs.
Dark Dwarf: +2 to Perception and Stealth instead of Hide, Listen, and Move Silently.
Gully Dwarf: +2 to Stealth instead of Hide and Move Silently. Pitiable modifies Persuasion instead of Diplomacy.
Elf: +2 to Perception instead of Listen, Search, and Spot. Darkvision 30 feet
Qualinesti: +1 to Persuasion instead of Diplomacy and Sense Motive.
Half Elf: +1 to Perception instead of Listen, Search, and Spot. +2 to Persuasion instead of Diplomacy. Darkvision 30 feet
Kender: Despite what’s listed, Kender have the following racial skill modifiers: +2 to Perception, and Subterfuge. Their move is 30ft. They keep everything else, including Lack of Focus and Taunt, as is. All Kender weapons are classified as Simple Weapons instead of Exotic and each Kender is proficient in the hoopak.
Minotaur: +2 Persuasion instead of Intimidate and +2 Athletics instead of Swim.
Size: Size modifies Stealth instead of Hide.

Classes
Only those classes that I have changed or that I have brought in from somewhere other than the books I use, have been listed.
Cleric: To wield Divine Magic, the Character must follow a True God of Krynn.
Druid: To wield Divine Magic, the Character must follow a True God of Krynn.
Monk: Monks can multiclass as other Classes
Mystic: Not available.
Noble: As all skills are Class Skills, the Noble gets a free Skill Focus Feat at Level 1.
Armiger Substitution (KOoA): With the DM’s permission, the Armiger may take Combat Focus as his level 1 Armiger feat. When an Armiger uses Call to Arms, he doesn’t have to state the power of the assistance wanted, he will get the most powerful assistance he qualifies for from his roll.
Paladin: To wield Divine Magic, the Character must follow a True God of Krynn. Paladins can multiclass as other Classes.
Ranger: To wield Divine Magic, the Character must follow a True God of Krynn.
Non Spellcasting Ranger: Remove all spells. You can add one of Fast Movement (Barbarian), Trackless Step, Uncanny Dodge, Wilderness Supremacy, Woodland Stride, or any DM approved Ranger specific feat at level 4, 8, 11, and 14.
Wilderness Supremacy: You can use the Survival skill while traveling at full speed. With 10 ranks in Survival, finding tracks never take longer than a full round action. With 12 ranks in Survival, finding tracks never take longer than a standard action. With 15 ranks in Survival, you may take 10 on Survival checks even when stress and distractions normally would prevent you from doing so.
Soulknife: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psio...lasses/soulknife.htm is an Ambient Arcane Magic class, instead of a psionic class. Any reference to Mind Blade is replaced by Ambient Blade and psychic/psionic is replaced by arcane. Wild Talent is an arcane SQ instead of a feat.
Wizard: The inscription of spells into his spellbook will take 15 minutes per page. And even though he begins with spells only from the Sorcerer/Wizard spell list, he can also learn Bard Spells, but not healing.
Solamnic Knights: As described in Knightly Orders of Ansalon.
Wizard of High Sorcery: In lieu of a Secret, the Wizard of High Sorcery can select 2 Metamagic Feats. And the following Secrets must be replaced in that way: Magic of Betrayal (Black), Magic of Change (Red), Magic of Deception (Red), Magic of Defense (White), and Magic of Truth (White).]
When it comes to magic, you can only have levels in classes using one type of magic. That is, your character cannot use both divine and arcane magic, nor can he use both ambient and focused magic. All divine magic in this timeline is focused. For arcane magic wizards use focused magic and sorcerers use ambient.

Skills
If anything is different about a Skill than what is listed in 3.5, then it will be listed here.

Concentration: Concentration is based on Wisdom.

Knowledge: Instead of spending Skill Points on Knowledge skills, I will be handing out free Skill Ranks for some Knowledge skills. From the beginning, the character will have the knowledge skills that are vital to his concept maxed out. From level 3, knowledge skills important, but not vital, to the concept will have 5 free Skill Ranks. Other knowledge skills will have no free skill ranks.

Jump: A successful Long Jump requires a Jump Check (DC 4+ D), where D is the distance jumped. A successful High Jump requires a Jump Check (DC 4*D - 2), where D is the distance jumped.

Spellcraft: To Learn a spell from a spellbook or scroll a wizard must study a new spell intelligibly for spell level hours.

Agility (Dex): Combines Balance, Escape Artist, and Tumble.

* When you stand up from prone as a Movement Action, you may attempt to make a DC 15 check. If you succeed, you do not provoke an AoO when you do so. If you fail the check, you still stand up, but you provoke an AoO.

Feats
Any Character can, as they level up or are created, trade 4 unspent Skill Points for a Feat. Or a Feat for 4 Skill Points. Though either transfer must be noted on the Character Sheet.

Metamagic Feats: They do not generally increase the spell level of the modified spell or the needed spell slot, unless the Metamagic Feat specifically increases the spell’s level, e.g. Heightened Spell. Adding Metamagic Feats to spells do not increase the spell’s casting time.

Alertness: This is the same feat as Skill Focus (Perception)
Athletic: This is the same feat as Skill Focus (Athletics)

These are feats I've made up my self. It's perfectly fine to skip this post if you have all the feats that you need. But if you want more feats to choose from, here they are.

Advanced Rapid Strike: Prerequisite: Str 13, Rapid Strike, Improved Rapid Strike. Another -1 of the penalty is removed and thus there is no penalty because of Rapid Strike to the attack.

Advanced Spell Writing: Prerequisite: Greater Spell Writing, Improved Spell Writing, and DM's permission. The time and space needed to write a spell in a spellbook is halved again.

Advanced Two Weapon Fighting: Prerequisite: Two Weapon Fighting, BAB +8. The character’s penalties for fighting with two weapons are lessened by 2. Thus the character can fight with double weapons, or two weapons with the off-hand weapon light, without any penalties.

Combat Focus: Prerequisite: Level 1 only, BAB +0 (not higher), and DM's permission. The Character has a +1 bonus to his BAB.


Continued Animal Companion: Prerequisite: Animal Companion Special Ability. Choose one Class closely related to the Class that gave the animal companion and levels from that Class will stack with levels of the original class to determine the abilities of the Animal Companion. The Character can take this Feat more than once, each time selecting a new closely related Class.
Original Class: Includes Druid and Ranger
Related Classes: Those that use Divine Magic and/or are focused on nature. Including Cleric, Druid, Ranger, and Knight of the Sword (Clerist).
Special: It is possible to take this Feat with the Ranger Class and in that case all Ranger levels will count, instead of just half, when determining the abilities of the Animal Companion.



Fast Warrior: Prerequisite: Fast Movement. The Levels of the Class from which the Character has Fast Movement (Level 1 Monk will suffice) will stack with the Levels of the chosen Warrior type Class (e.g. Barbarian, Fighter, Knight, Ranger, Knight of the Crown, Knight of the Sword, Knight of the Rose) in determining his Unarmored Speed Bonus. Special: If the other Class grants the AP (Heavy) or Tower Shield Proficiency Feat, it can be replaced by the Fast Warrior Feat.

Greater Spell Writing: Prerequisite: Improved Spell Writing and DM's permission. The time and space needed to write a spell in a spellbook is halved again.

Improved Rapid Strike: Prerequisite: Str 13, Rapid Strike. -1 of the penalty is removed and thus there is a -1 penalty to the attack because of Rapid Strike.

Improved Spell Writing: Prerequisite: The ability to Write Spells in a spellbook and DM's permission. The time and space needed to write a spell in a spellbook is halved.

Improved Turning: Prerequisite: The ability to turn/rebuke undead. The Character turns or rebukes as if he was 2 levels higher than he is.

Light Warrior: Prerequisite: AC Bonus ability. The Levels of the Class from which the Character has AC Bonus will stack with the Levels of the chosen Warrior type Class (e.g. Barbarian, Fighter, Knight, Ranger, Knight of the Crown, Knight of the Sword, Knight of the Rose) in determining his AC Bonus. Special: If the other Class grants the AP (Heavy) or Tower Shield Proficiency Feat, it can be replaced by the Light Warrior Feat.

Powerful Warrior: Prerequisite: Improved Unarmed Strike. The Levels of the class that gave you Improved Unarmed Strike will stack with the Levels of the chosen Warrior type Class (e.g. Barbarian, Fighter, Knight, Ranger, Knight of the Crown, Knight of the Sword, Knight of the Rose) in determining his Unarmed Strike Damage. Special: If the other Class grants the AP (Heavy) or Tower Shield Proficiency Feat, it can be replaced by the Light Warrior Feat.

Quick Warrior: Prerequisite: AC Bonus ability, Heroic Initiative +1. The Levels of both Classes stack in determining the Character’s AC Bonus and Heroic Initiative.

Rapid Strike: Prerequisite: Str 13, Improved Unarmed Strike. You get one extra attack per round with a melee weapon, or unarmed. The attack is at your highest BAB, but every attack you make that round takes a -2 penalty. You must use the Full Attack Action to use this feat.

Spirit Companion: Prerequisite: Nightstalker level 6. Otherwise as listed in RoA.

The Levels of the Class from which the Character has Flurry of Blows will stack with the Levels of the chosen Warrior type Class (e.g. Barbarian, Fighter, Knight, Ranger, Knight of the Crown, Knight of the Sword, Knight of the Rose) in determining his Flurry of Blows Attack Bonus.

Magic
Spell Preparation: Wizards, Clerics, and other spell users determine which spell to use when they want to use it without prior selection. An Arcane spell user that uses spellbooks, e.g. Wizard, still need to study his spellbook to be able to cast his spells.

Spell Preparation Time: It takes one hour for the spell user to prepare his spells and he can do so at any time of day.

Rest: Spell users don't need to rest before preparing their spells.

Recent Casting Limit: There is no Recent Casting Limit.

Space in Spellbook: 0-lvl spells takes up 1/2 page.

Wizard Spell List
2 Level
Divination
Detect Chaos/Evil/Good/Law: As the Cleric Spell

Spells
Detect Chaos/Evil/Good/Law
Level: Clr 1, Rng 2, Sor/Wiz 2
All other information as listed in d20 SRD


Raise Dead
Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every morning, if the target has had 8 hours of sleep, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears. Spellcasters have a 50% chance of losing any given unused spell slot, as if it had been used to cast a spell.

The rest of the spell description is as listed in the SRD.

Arctic Foxkin
This race was inspired by the homebrew race published at https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Arctic_Foxkin_(3.5e_Race). And though the racial traits of my race and their race are the same, it doesn't mean that their personality, physical description, relations, alignment, lands, religion, and names are the same.

Arctic Foxkin look like bipedal arctic foxes (such as in this Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_fox). Males are 5-6 feet in height and weigh 100-200 lbs. Females are 4-5 feet in height and weigh 5 lbs less. They become adults at the age of 20 and can become 800 years old.

Their racial traits are:
* +2 Charisma, -2 Strength
* Monstrous Humanoid
* Medium-size
* Arctic Foxkin base land speed is 30 feet
* Low-light vision
* Keen Scent: can take Scent as a racial Feat if Wisdom is 11 or higher.
* +2 racial bonus on Agility and Stealth, an additional +2 when in snowy terrain.
* +4 racial bonus on Fortitude saves versus cold weather effects.
* Terrain Adaptaion: Can move without penalty on snow and ice.
* Automatic Languages: Common, Sylvan. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Dwarven, Elven, Giant, Gnome, and Kender.
Level Adjustment: 0
