House rules

We ran the campaign using the Tiny Dungeon: Second Edition rules, with the following modifications:

  • Treefolk are not allowed
  • Using Zones (Players Guide p11/12)
  • Using Minimalist Advancement rule (p18)
  • Optional rules for Depletion Points (p37), only for the following:
    • Torch
    • Oil
    • Quiver
    • Weapons
  • Prestige Traits were not allowed at the start of the campaign, but were introduced around session #14
  • Criticals were used (PG p78), with the following clarification:
    Critical hit:
    Only a Mastered Weapon can Critical Hit: If you roll two 6's with an attack roll, you do +1 damage.
    Critical miss:
    If you roll two 1's with any attack roll and you fail the attack, you critical miss.
  • Not using Variable Damage, Armor (PG p79)
  • Not using Ships & Mounts niet (PG p80/81)

Character creation

Using the rules of the Players Guide (p20) with the following modifications:

  • Fey: this are Elves. Apparently some people call Elves Fey.
  • Goblin: you can make a Goblin, or use the Heritage Trait to create your own Gnome or Halfling
  • Salimar: you can use the Pyrothermic Healing variant as Tiefling
  • Treefolk: not allowed
  • Karhu: allowed, but there are very few of them in Lamora
  • Lizardfolk: also known as Dragonborn

To make character creation easier, you can use this post to quickly boil it down to archetypal classes.

Using some of the other TinyD6 books as sources, the following (heritage traits are also allowed:

Heritage Traits

No idea [5 HP]
When attacking with a melee weapon, you deal +1 damage on an attack roll that has a die showing a face of 6.

Dark Elf, Tiefling [5 HP]
You are unsettling to deal with. You gain Advantage on any rolls to intimidate, threaten, or unsettle others. You also gain one reroll per day.
