I have annotated copies of the rule books. Check out the PDFs to see my notes.
 
 
=== Ability Scores at Character Creation ===
 
Characters are made using point buy, with 27 points to spend.
 
At the end of the normal ability point allocation, you get an extra +1 to any ability score of your choice.
 
At the end of the process no ability score can be below 9 or above 17.
 
 
=== Bonus Cantrips ===
 
If you have
 
[http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:druidcraft Druidcraft],
 
[http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:prestidigitation Prestidigitation], or
 
[http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:thaumaturgy Thaumaturgy]] on your spell list, you can use these cantrips without having to select them.
 
If you are an Artificer, the same applies to [[http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:mending Mending]].
 
If you are a Warlock, the same applies to [http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:eldritch-blast Eldritch Blast].
 
 
You can never change these cantrips for other cantrips.
 
 
=== Initiative ===
 
'''Delay
 
When using initiative, a character can delay their action, which moves them to a lower position in the initiative order.
 
 
'''Minions
 
Minions (familiars, hirelings, animal companions, summons) act on their controllers initiative.
 
The master can delay to act after a minion, but the two actions cannot be intermingled.
 
If the master delays until after another creature's turn, the minions must do so too.
 
 
=== Potions ===
 
Taking out and using a potion on yourself is a bonus action.
 
Doing it for someone else is an action, either taking it from their gear, applying it to them, or both.
 
 
=== Using Magic Items ===
 
{{ : Using_Magic_Items_(5A) }}
 
 
=== Proficient Help ===
 
If you are proficient with a skill or tool, you can always use the Help action.
 
If you lack proficiency, you need to convince the [[GM]] of how you are helping.
 
 
=== Resurrection ===
 
Raising the dead is not a matter of a simple spell, it is an epic adventure and most often fails spectacularly, resulting in an undead creature.
 
As a balance against this, death doesn't happen lightly.
 
PCs only die if the player thinks the death makes sense in the story, and even NPCs die more rarely than in other campaigns, that is only if the [[GM]] feels it fits the story.
 
 
=== Milestone Leveling ===
 
We use milestone leveling, that is all PCs level when the [[GM]] says they do. All PCs are always of the same level.
