Optional rules and rule changes will appear here.

We will be using the Glory Rogue rules for the reasons on that page.

(Since I have to keep finding it, I am putting this link here.)

We are using the same Calendar as Glorantha.

Extra Feats
The normal Pathfinder rules give everyone a Feat at every odd level.  I'm changing this to give everyone a Feat on every level.

Hero Points
We will be using the optional Hero Points Rules.  Everyone will start with their maximum hero points.  This is normally 3, but might be 5 if you take Hero’s Fortune feat.  You'll be getting more for any especially heroic actions, often at the end of an adventure, and always at level up, so don't hoard them excessively.  The feats and spells regarding hero points will also be used, and there might even be a magic item available.

In addition to the uses of Hero Points that are listed, there is one more:

Introducing an object into the environment:  The object has to be somewhat reasonable, but remember that the more entertaining something is, the more likely you are to get away with it.  For example, negotiations with the baron has gone badly, and you find you are running out the castle ahead of the guards.  You might use a point to declare that the main hallway has several complete suits of armor standing decoratively, and you knock them down to create an obstacle for your pursuers.  Or, when you see that the portcullis will drop too quickly for your escape, you spend a point to declare that a farmer is just entering the castle, and his wagon blocks it from closing, allowing you to slide under the wagon to safety.

There are people who feel that social skills -- bluff, diplomacy, etc. -- should not be skills that are rolled with dice, but should just be left to role-playing.  I won't debate it here (feel free in OOC), but suffice to say that I disagree.  However, I do acknowledge that I want players to describe what they do in entertaining detail, and this includes your bluffing the harem guard, or whatever.

So, the compromise is that any skill roll will be adjusted from +4 to -4 (though only rarely is anything adjusted by more than 2 points), based on the entertainment value of its description.  Note that this does not apply to attack rolls, but it might apply to, say, an intimidation roll in a combat, or even an acrobatics roll as you swing across the room on the chandelier.  Fun and interesting description is what will gain you points.
