Keep in mind, this will ''not'' be the Uresia setting entirely straight. Monsters that don't exist in that setting may show up. Variant lore will be written and stored here.

AP will be earned with exceptional frequency, and you may not have more than 5 stockpiled at a time - so use 'em! |

| + | == Tristalt/Level Adjustment And You == | ||
| + | |||
| + | No matter what, you'll be guaranteed access to Gestalt. However, it'll be possible - at a cost - for you to make your character be ''Tri''stalt for a number of levels, subject to a series of restrictions. | ||

| + | * The third side is ''solely and exclusively'' for paying Level Adjustments or for a Monster Racial Class. | ||
| + | * Your XP gain rate will be cut by a third from calculated earnings rates until you have finished out your levels - meaning that when you finish it out, those who took it for fewer levels, or not at all, will likely have multiple levels on you. | ||
| + | * Your ability to take high-tier classes may be restricted. | ||
| + | * The standard for "I will accept this" in terms of both fluff and crunch will be MUCH higher. | ||
| + | * If a monster has multiple Hit Dice, it's total level adjustment, including those hit dice, is equal to its CR, subject to DM adjudication. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Pathfinder sub-ins And Other Special Rules == | ||
| + | * Skill points are allocated using the ''Pathfinder'' rules (loosely: same skill points per level, but no times-4 at first level. Cross-class skills cost the same per rank as class skills. The first rank in a class skill counts as 4 ranks for all points and purposes, with further points being 1-to-1 as normal). | ||
| + | ** This includes the merge-downs from the Pathfinder skill list, and possibly other merge-downs to be determined. | ||
| + | ** Except that Concentration's still a skill. | ||
| + | * Belt of Battle is banned. | ||
| + | * Leadership is banned. | ||
| + | * Wealth is going to be half-fluff half-crunch, as follows: | ||
| + | ** A character's Equipment will value to 60% of WBL, rounded up to the nearest 100 until 5th level, then the nearest 100. | ||
| + | ** A character's significant consumable items will value to 30%, same rounding. | ||
| + | ** A character's less-mechanically-significant displays of wealth will be less limited and fluff-based. | ||
