The insular kingdom of Vriya is ruled by Queen Gabbi bat Gilia in her coastal fortress of Vur Boldahr. Storms from The Barren Wastes occasionally swing north into [[Vriya]], causing havok and destruction in their wakes. The magical nature of these storms has given rise to a a cultural aversion to magic, and the use of spells outside of very controlled circumstance (government or religious institutions) is generally illegal within civilized areas. Special anti-arcanist forces are present in most castles, and will be dispatched if any illegal magics are performed within their purview |

<onlyinclude>These rules govern [[The Shielded Lands]].</onlyinclude> |
|||
== General Rules == |
|||
# Every player is allowed one character at a time, created according to the character creation rules |
|||
# Time will be tracked according to the campaign calendar |
|||
#* The current campaign date is [[Template:The_Shielded_Lands/Date|{{The_Shielded_Lands/Date}}]] |
|||
# The entire party has one XP value, which is used to determine every player's level (e.g., when the party has 2,700 XP, the entire party is level 4) |
|||
# Magical items are not "identified" during a short rest. Rather, a character can spend one hour to attune to the magical item to determine what effects it may have and how to use it. |
|||
#* This does not reveal the name of the item, or any secret effects, nor does it consume any of the charges (if any) the item has. |
|||
#* This is done in lieu of a short rest, during the same time period. |
|||
#* The identify spell works per RAW. |
|||
# Falling unconscious due to 0 HP requires death saves per RAW. If the character survives, they gain a point of exhaustion upon waking. |
|||
# To use the help action with a skill check, the helper must be proficient in the skill being checked. |
|||
# The spell <code>Counterspell</code> does not exist and may not be taken under any circumstances. |
|||
# Some feats have been adjusted, as listed below |
|||
#*; Mage Slayer |
|||
#*: The attack made as a reaction from this feat occurs before the spell triggering the feat finishes casting. This means that successfully causing damage to the spell caster will require a concentration save to finish casting the spell. Failing this concentration save results in the spell being lost but the spell slot still having been spent. |
|||
#*; Revenant Blade |
|||
#*; This feat is not restricted by race |
|||
# Some minor adjustments have been made to certain sub-classes, as listed below |
|||
#*; Arcane Archer |
|||
#*: Arcane Shot can be used Proficiency bonus times per short rest instead of just twice. You are still limited to one use per turn. |
|||

The insular kingdom of Vriya is ruled by Queen Gabbi bat Gilia in her coastal fortress of Vur Boldahr. Storms from The Barren Wastes occasionally swing north into Vriya, causing havok and destruction in their wakes. The magical nature of these storms has given rise to a a cultural aversion to magic, and the use of spells outside of very controlled circumstance (government or religious institutions) is generally illegal within civilized areas. Special anti-arcanist forces are present in most castles, and will be dispatched if any illegal magics are performed within their purview
