DM Alexander Kilcoyne's Sargavan Saga

Game Master Alexander Kilcoyne

"What is this place? Puzzles in Azlant, more magic than you see in a year in Absalom. Wheels literally within wheels. Bound demons and wax golems? The expense must have been enormous. But why? To what end?"

House Rules & Rules of My Games

Vital Strike automatically upgrades to the next feat in the chain at the appropiate BAB

Ultimate Combat and Ultimate Magic are banned- in rare cases individual elements may be allowed with my express permission.

No Alchemists and Summoners

Detect Magic Changes-

1. You must make a will save against an illusions DC+2 to realise it is an illusion and have its magical aura register while using Detect Magic. The increase in DC is to represent that your not really interacting with it in any sensory way (close inspection, using hands/hearing) as well as balancing a cantrip against higher level spells. This will save will be made by me in secret.

2. You will no longer be able to detect magic auras that are part of a trap until the trap is triggered. In the process of making a magical trap, part of the creation includes a permanent Magic Aura spell masking the aura. Resetting such a trap includes a re-activation of the Magic Aura spell.

Regarding the spell "Bestow Grace"

This spell is banned.

Using a grapple check to deal damage-

When using this option you may crit as normal on the attack roll, using the threat range and critical modifier of the weapon you are inflicting damage with. Improved Critical or Keen applies but as usual with this option you do not add the weapon's enhancement bonus to attack rolls etc. to the CMB roll.

Changes to the 'Fuse Grenade' Item-

1. The fuse grenade explodes on its own initiative count, which is equal to the PC's initiative count when he lights the grenade. If the PC should delay, ready an action or have his initiative changed by any way whatsoever, the fuse grenade retains the original initiative count.

2. The fuse grenade has a chance of exploding the same round it is thrown. The 1d3 rounds duration has been house ruled to 1d4-1, meaning that it might essentially explode the same turn it is thrown (on the roll of a 1, making a 0 rounds duration total).

Spiritual Weapon-

As many may have suspected, all references to 'Wisdom' in the case of an Oracle casting the spell should be replaced with 'Charisma', so as not to unnecessarily gimp the Oracle.

Totem Warrior Barbarian Archetype-

In exchange for the ability to have more than one totem, a Barbarian taking the Totem Warrior archetype must exchange Fast Movement for this ability.

Sargavan Saga Specifics-

A character earns a single re-roll for remembering his or her birthday and noting the age change on the game day itself. This is a nice incentive for you to keep track of such things. The re-roll must be spent in the next game month.

Terbutje are permitted from UC.
