Martial Proficiency Grouping:
The Martial Weapon Proficiency is split up into several groups of weapons. Details can be seen in the 'New Feats' section

Wet Bowstring Rule:
If your bow or crossbow string is exposed to moisture (i.e.; it's raining, snowing, drizzling, your underwater, etc.) like all bowstrings it will stretch out, this greatly impairs the amount of force behind the arrow for bows, and makes a crossbow completely inoperative. Any regular bows exposed to moisture will suffer a -4 to attack and damage. Any crossbows become completely inoperative with the exception of the multi-nock crossbow found in the new items section

Tobacco Rules
Handling tobacco is rather simple and quickly explained. Tobacco is divided up into 'hits'. One hit is enough to fill a pipe or roll a cigarette. 2 hits are required for a cigar. The price of tobacco is influenced by its quality. There are three types of tobacco. Poor, Good, Excellent. Certain regional tobaccos may cost more, depending on where they are from. As an example tobacco from the two rivers would count as excellent, and have a little price above that for being exceptionally excellent.
When you have taken ten 'hits' of tobacco (or portion therof) in one day you get a -1 penalty to all checks involving endurance; ie running, holding your breath, etc. The penalty become -2 at 15 hits, -3 at 20 and increases every 5 hits after that. 4 hours of not taking any tobacco hits will remove 1 from your penalty.

Alternate Volume Rules
Space is divided into sections known as units. A single unit takes up 3 cu. inches, 3x3x3. Carrying containers have a maximum unit limit, and items take up a certain amount of units. A carrying container may not hold more units than its maximum. Below are some sample carrying containers.

Challenge Rules

Challenge Sequence:
1. One PC issues a challenge to another. The challenged may refuse with no penalty.
2. If the challenged accepts he gets first choice of terrain. If the challenger does not agree to the terrain the DM may decide, incorporating design elements that favor both parties.
3. Each PC chooses a starting location that may be kept between themselves and the DM if they opt to do so.
4. PCs roll initiative and combat proceeds normally.
5. Combat ends when one PC is dropped to 0 or lower HP, or one of the PCs admits defeat. If a PC is dropped below -9 HP and outright killed then the battle ends in a draw.
6. The winner of the battle gets EXP equal to the opponents character level x (1d10 x [1d6+1])

Challenges must be issued before or after the days adventure.

You may only challenge one person per session.

The GMs word is law.

Ability scores during character creation

Ability scores are determined using an 85 point base. Each player can construct a character using this base i.e. if you want your character to have an 18 Strength, that would cost 18 of your 85 base points leaving you with 85 - 18 = 67.

No ability scores may be raised past 18 before racial modifiers, meaning you can’t give your human fighter a 26 in Strength at the cost of other ability scores, but you can give your half-orc fighter a 20 in Strength (18 max + 2 racial modifier = 20)

The standard ability spread is all scores at 14 with one point left over.

Ranger
Bonus Abilities: Starting at 6th class level, and at every 3rd level thereafter, the Ranger gains a special ability of his choice from the following list:
Bonus Feat - The feat chosen must come from the following list - improved track, point blank shot, precise shot, rapid shot, far shot, shot-on-the-run, mounted archer, weapon focus (any bladed weapon), weapon focus (any bow). This option may be chosen multiple times.
Familiarity - The ranger gains a +4 bonus to wilderness lore checks or any knowledge (local) checks in an area that the character designates as familiar. In order to so designate an area, the ranger must have spent at least six months in the place, and have explored all portions that he intends to be familiar with. This ability can be chosen multiple times. It’s effects do not stack.
Evasion - This ability works as the ability of the same name that Rogues and Monks have.
Nature Sense - This ability works as the ability of the same name that Druids gain at 1st level.
Trackless Step - (see above)
Hunter - The character may apply a +2 bonus to all roles against one creature when hunting that creature. Only evil rangers may use this ability to target a target known to be goodly, or NPC known to be goodly. This effect lasts until the target is dead, captured, etc. This effect can be used once a day, requires that the ranger have some form of knowledge of that individual creature before (meaning he must have tracked it, encountered it previously, etc. this ability cannot be invoked during combat), and does stack with the Rangers favored enemy bonus if the creature is of such a monster type.
Natural Attunement - When able to commune with nature, the Ranger can ask all life in the characters vicinity questions. These questions can be no more complex than "Did a man with short black hair, in plate armor, with a very large sword come this way?" The lifeforms, be they trees, or animals, or plants, answer as best they can. This ability allows the ranger to understand all plant and animal forms of communication, but only for the duration of the ability. Naturally, plants and animals have different views of the world, and might not be able to adequately satisfy the Rangers need for answers ("Duh...what’s a sword?" "I couldn’t see the direction he went; my petals were blocking the view.") This ability can be used for a total of six minutes each day, meaning the Ranger can only maintain such an intimate connection for six minutes. This minutes cannot be saved. Invoking this ability requires a full-round action.
All of these abilities are extraordinary in nature, save for Natural Attunement, which is a spell-like ability.

Wizard
Skills: The Wizard will also receive, in addition to his normal allotment of skill points, a number of skill points equal to half his original amount. These extra skill points must be used in knowledge skills. In other words the wizard normally receives (2 + Int modifier) skill points (x4 at first level). These points can be spent on any skills, including knowledge skills. The wizard also receives (2 + Int modifier)/2 skill points (x4 at first level) that must be used in knowledge skills. No skills can have more ranks than is normally allowed (character level +3).
Spellbooks; All spell books, by their nature, automatically have a built in trap. Whomever opens the book without some sort of passcode will trigger a locate person spell (not including the owner, of course). This power exhausts itself after one use per day. It allows the owner to locate whomever triggers the trap, so long as no more than one day has passed. The owner is not alerted to the disruption. This power does not interfere in any way with any other spell-traps the magi may have placed upon his spellbook.
