2014 · Alternate Rules (Variant Core Rules)

3.Y

A fourteen-page rules supplement that presents a “what if” revision of a third-edition fantasy roleplaying game. It modifies the first version of the system reference rules to recapture the feel of earlier editions, simplifying character advancement, spellcasting, and combat while reducing emphasis on system mastery and broad class customization. The changes leave most of the original rules intact, with a small set of extensively play-tested revisions intended to alter the game’s overall style without replacing the core system.
