The setting is actively Anime Trope'd, but that can mean a lot of things - here, it means that the tone can range from quite dramatic to very, very silly. Keep that in mind with your characters. | The setting is actively Anime Trope'd, but that can mean a lot of things - here, it means that the tone can range from quite dramatic to very, very silly.

| + | == Critical Rules == | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Characters will be at least partially worked out ''in a group session'' - players should do absolutely '''no''' building before this session. Research is of course okay. | ||
| + | * The DM's tolerance for advanced build manipulations will be proportionate to the difference between a player's build and the ''weakest'' build in the party... Unless the weakest build is attempting to troll the optimizers, in which case they can bite the DM. Players should expect to work together, and work with the DM, to find a happy medium. An entertaining and interesting character concept that provides the DM with plot hooks may get more wiggle room. | ||
| + | ** If a player wants to run a scheme that is hard to run a good build with normally, custom buff content or adaptations may be brought into consideration. | ||
| + | ** UA variants, Pathfinder variants, or other sources will be considered to help bring characters in line with each other, or make things more interesting. | ||
| + | * Bonus Feats may be a thing based on the quests you undergo. Usually, these will be the entire party gaining the same feat. | ||
| + | * Alignments have inertia in this game - that means that it isn't that easy to shift your character's mechanical alignment. In particular, given some of the material, at least some comedic sociopathy should be expected within the party. ''In particular'', a Paladin who analyzes a moral conundrum carefully is more likely to be rewarded than punished, even if they ultimately choose poorly. | ||
| + | * Be warned: Cursed Items and Munchkin d20 are in play. Traps ''may'' be in play. Puzzles ''will'' be in play. The DM may use tricks and even Interface Screws. | ||
| + | * The DM will do his best to not be a shit to you. ''Do not antagonize him if you want him to succeed.'' | ||
