Charcter Generation and House Rules
Permitted classes are druid, fighting-hobbet, and thief.
Druids and fighting-hobbets may advance to 4th level if multi-classed, or 6th level if single-classed. Thieves have no level limit.
All multi-class combinations are permitted (druid/fighter, druid/thief, fighter/thief, or druid/fighter/thief). Experience is always divided equally between classes, even once the character has reached the level limit.
Druid spells and special abilities are detailed here: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=829
Plant-related druid spells and special abilities also work on fungi.
Equipment lists can be found on pages 17 and 46 of Delving Deeper Heroes and Magic v5 Gamma: http://download.immersiveink.com/DDRefR ... 180723.pdf
Slings cost 1gp and weigh 1lb (per Delving Deeper v4). There is no cost or encumbrance burden for ammunition; it is assumed that hobbets fill their pockets with sling-stones as they travel.
Armored fighting-hobbets may strip to their gambeson (padded undergarment) and carry the metal plates or chainmail in a large sack. The gambeson is equivalent to leather armor and is far preferable to metal armor for situations such as swimming or squeezing through a tight passageway. This house rule allows multiclass characters to easily transition to light armor when they want to use their druid or thief abilities. It takes (x?) turns to remove plate armor, or (y?) turns to remove chain.
Horses, mules, war pigs, or any other animal larger than a hobbet will be completely useless in the tight confines of the Caverns.
We will use Fighting Capability rules.
Druids have the FC of a magic-user.
A main-gauche is a parrying dagger that costs 10gp, can't be thrown, and grants the AC bonus of a shield.
Hobbets move at the same rate as men.
If forced to fight blind or in complete darkness, Hobbets suffer a -4 penalty to attack rolls, AC, and saving throws.
