Player Character Advancement[edit | edit source]

Characters will be rewarded with XP upon the completion of a game session. XP will be tracked on the Player Tracker spreadsheet and shared through the wiki.
XP will be awarded on a sliding scale to help balance the disparity of character levels that may find themselves at the same session. Average character level of the party will be used to determine base XP for the session.
XP will be rewarded for player contributions to the Quelmar Wiki. Thresholds will be established that will create diminished returns as players continue to write but the DMs do not, at this time, see a reason to put a cap on XP earned from Wiki contributions.
- An example of diminished returns would be as follows:
  - 1XP per word, up to a total of 5,000 words.
  - 1XP per 2 words from 5,001 words to 10,000 words
  - 1XP per 3 words from 10,001 words to 15,000 words
  - And so on…
  - Once you have made a contribution to the wiki, fill out the following google form to fill out your information so when can update your XP.
Should the level deviation in the player base begin to hinder the ability of the DMs or the general fun and challenge of sessions, the DM team reserves the right to increase starting level and bump all existing characters still at the starting level.

A Slow Walker's Guide to the Land of the Lost[edit | edit source]

The above page, penned in character by Shelmlock Dolmes, famed detective and reporter for the Galik Herald, is to serve as a short summery of the land of Amusa and its current state summarized all onto a single page.

House Rules[edit | edit source]

All directions of movement, including diagonals, are 5 feet.
Taking a critical hit while making death saving throws is 1 automatic fail, not 2.
Ammunition and Carrying Capacity are not tracked. Though it may be determined on a case by case basis if you are carrying too much of something.
It's assumed players are supplied basic components for spells at camp between sessions. Very expensive components (like diamonds) are still tracked and necessary.
An inspiration point can be used to "De-Inspire" an enemy's check, save, or attack.
Allies and Enemies in a line of fire do not provide half-cover (unless they actively choose to provide cover for someone else)
The Flanking variant rule is in play, allowing players to get advantage if they attack an enemy from two opposing sides.
Players can cast 2 spells on their turn as long as one is a bonus action, and is not limited to Cantrip actions only.
Spell Scrolls:
- Any character can use a spell scroll. If a player uses a spell scroll for a spell that is not from their class's spell list, they must make a DC 10 plus the level of the spell Arcana check. On a success the spell is cast as normal, but on a failure the player's action is used up while the spell scroll remains.
Critical Hit Variant Rule:
- When a critical attack is rolled, gather the entire dice pool as per the standard rule.
- Remove one of the dice representing the weapons base damage and set it aside with its highest value facing up.
- Roll the rest of the dice pool.
- Total the rolled dice pool and then add the highest value of the die that was set aside.
- Then add any relevant modifiers.

Wicked Wilds Downtimes[edit | edit source]

In between adventures your characters have the opportunity to work in the city on personal projects to benefit themselves or the company. Each month players can choose a new downtime. Downtimes are public actions and cannot be kept secret.

Item Crafting: Spell Scroll
- “Spend your downtime crafting a magic spell scroll, if you're proficient.”
- To scribe a spell scroll, you must be proficient in Arcana, Religion, or Nature and must have the spell you are trying to copy prepared. You can only make one kind of spell scroll per Galik downtime. The spell must be of a spell you can currently cast. Each spell has a necessary time requirement and cost requirement. If a spell has a material component that has a GP cost, its cost is also included in the cost of the spell scroll.

Spell Scroll Table
Spell Level	Amount that Can be Produced	Cost
Cantrip	Up to 8	15 GP Per
1st	Up to 8	25 GP Per
2nd	Up to 6	250 GP Per
3rd	Up to 4	500 GP Per
4th	Up to 2	2500 GP Per
5th	Up to 1	5000 GP Per

Item Crafting: Magical Item
- “With the company's Arcane Forge, you can now craft items of great wondrous and magical power!”
- To craft a magical item you must have the required GP and materials before you begin crafting. The magical item must be approved by the a DM before you can begin crafting. Simply list the item in the downtime sheet when you fill it out. After you begin the process of crafting a magical item you cannot change downtimes until it is finished or else the item is scrapped. Multiple characters can spend their downtimes working on the same item together. Each additional character working on an item reduces the time required by one month per character, up to a minimum of one month. A max of four characters can work on a single item.

Arcane Forge Table
Type	Cost (GP)	Time	Material CR Range
Common	100	1 Month	1-3
Uncommon	500	2 Months	4-8
Rare	2,000	4 Months	9-12
Very Rare	20,000	8 Months	13-18
Legendary	100,000	16 Months	19+

- Combine Magic Items
  - Players can combine similar magic items using the forge, ie magical armor sets, 2 druidic items etc. It is up to a DM’s discretion if two items can be combined.
  - The time it takes to combine both items is the combined time value it would be to craft both divided by half. Example is that combining an Uncommon and a Rare magical item would take 3 months (2+4)/2. The same goes for the cost of the item creation.
  - The creation of the item does not require materials.
  - If both magical items require attunement, the new item only requires one attunement slot.
  - At the DM’s discretion the item may develop new abilities.

Item Crafting: Potion
- “Spend your downtime crafting a magic potion, if you're proficient.”
- To create a potion you must be proficient with and must possess or have access to a set of Alchemist Equipment and the cost for producing the potions is half of the potions normal cost. You can spend your downtime to craft 4 Common Potions, 4 Acid Vials, 4 Alchemist Fire’s or 1d4 Uncommon Potions without a roll.
- If you wish to create a potion of rarity rare or higher, you must make a check determined by the DM and be in possession of rare materials to receive 1d2 instances of the potion.

Item Crafting: Simple Items
- "Spend your downtime hard at work crafting a simple item."
- You may spend your downtime to create a Simple Weapon, a set of Leather or Hide based armor, or an item from the Adventurer's Gear table in the PHB.

The DC and number of checks for crafting the item will be determined by the DM.

- No Rolls Required.
