House of Rules

Right now BX out of the box ( or nightmares underneath if Im lazy). You can find an artless BX redux by Gavin Norman here.

Active Rules

• What murder implements are you holding in your hands

  
  Variable damage rules are in effect for weapons.
  

  • 1d4 - Daggers
  • 1d6 - Swords Axes Maces and Spears
  • 1d8 - Swords and Battleaxes*
  • 1d10 - Pikes* and Zweihanders*

  You can hold most weapons in your main hand as usual. Here are few items that you can wield in your off-hand.
  

  • Light source - Grants temporary feeling of safety from the darkness
  • Shield - Grants AC, can be sacrificed for temporary protection from harm
    
  • Knife - Pick one of the following actions for the round, off hand damage dice or Grants AC, but can not be sacrificed like the shield
  • Sword - Grants off hand damage dice

  When a dual wielding madman gets second weapon dice, he rolls both dice and picks the one he likes best.Then promptly adds all the damage modifiers.
  
  Sadly these things take two hands
  

  • Pike- Grants brace and reach
  • Zweihander - Grants cleave and increased threatened area
• Shields shall be splintered and helmets sundered!

  
  You get -1 to your AC with a shield. However, any time you take damage,you may choose to have the shield break instead of losing hitpoints.
  
  You get no bonuses from having helmet except pride in your fashion choices. However, any time you take a hit to the head,you may choose to have helmet brake instead of losing hitpoints and avoiding any additional effects.

• Thief kills look bad - bring spares for now

• Summon spell form Lotfp

• Carousing tables, the art of being conveniently poor for the next adventure

Probably more stuff lost on endless paper scribbles
