 More importantly, **no custom races/classes/powers/etc. will be allowed.**
-Here are the books I currently own:
-  * Player's Handbook
-  * Dungeon Master's Guide
-  * Monster Manual
-  * Player's Handbook 2
-  * Manual of the Planes
-Unlike my 3rd edition guideline, I don't need to own a book for you to use one of its rules.
 ==== Deviations ====
-  * [[Dragonborn]] are not allowed as player characters.((I am not //completely// closing the door here -- but I still think the race is silly))
+  * All races from the Player's Handbook are allowed with the following restrictions:
-  * [[:twenty portals|Teleportation Circles]] exist, but are not accessible via the "Linked Portal" or "Reverse Portal" rituals.
+    * Dragonborn are not allowed.
-  * [[Eladrin]] are commonly known as "High Elves".  They are //rare// and will often turn heads.
+    * The Tiefling, Deva, and Goliath races are //rare// and will draw unwanted attention.
-  * The [[Tiefling]], [[Deva]], and [[Goliath]] races are //rare// and may draw unwanted attention.((I'm trying to avoid edicts here, but I'm still on the fence as to whether I'm even going to allow these races))
+    * [[Eladrin]] are commonly known as "High Elves".  They are //rare// and will often turn heads.
-  * //...more to come...//
+    * Races from other books are allowed only with prior approval.
+  * [[:portals|Teleportation Circles]] exist, but are not accessible via the "Linked Portal" or "Reverse Portal" rituals.
-==== Class Summary ====
+  * Certain rituals may be cast "for free".  Ritual casters are given an allowance equal to 10gp per character level each day to use on these rituals.  (//List of qualifying rituals TBD//).
+  * Rules published in sources outside the main books are at my discretion.  This includes Dragon Magazine, and the Eberron, Forgotten Realm, and Dark Sun settings.
-All classes are allowed.  Please see the [[classes|Summary Table]].
+  * XP will be distributed to all PCs regardless of attendance (however it will still be calculated based on attendance).
+  * [[Treasure]] will be parceled out as described in the "Rules Compendium" (pp. 295-302).  Magic items will be given in the form of one or more "Level N" item(s) of specific rarity.  The players (as a team) are allowed to decide what the magic items really are.  For more information, see [[treasure|the treasure page]].
