======== 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons ========

This page details how I intend to use the 4th edition rules.  Comments welcome.

==== Included Rules ====

For now, any 4th edition book published by Wizards of the Coast will be considered
acceptable, though I reserve the right to call "foul" at articles published in
"Dragon" magazine.

More importantly, **no custom races/classes/powers/etc. will be allowed.**

==== Deviations ====

  * All races from the Player's Handbook are allowed with the following restrictions:
    * Dragonborn are not allowed.
    * The Tiefling, Deva, and Goliath races are //rare// and will draw unwanted attention.
    * [[Eladrin]] are commonly known as "High Elves".  They are //rare// and will often turn heads.
    * 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.
  * 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.
  * 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]].
