Misc.

• All mistakes are final, unless immediately corrected. Otherwise, there are no take-backs or do-overs.
• Dice that fall off the table or land on a corner, are rerolled, subject to DM discretion. Otherwise, all rolls are final, even if the die hits something.
• If after scoring a threat to critical, you roll another threat and would hit with that, roll again. If this roll hits, the crit multiplier increases by 1. If that is also a threat, roll again, etc. (Like the Variant: Instant Kill on DMG p.64, except the crit multiplier is raised by one rather than made an instant kill, and this can stack with itself.)
• Pay attention. During combat, think about what you will do on your turn and watch carefully. If you want to cast a spell, have the book open to the correct page in advance unless you have memorized all of your spells forwards and backwards. Roll attack and damage rolls at the same time. If you miss, oh well. It doesn't hurt to have rolled the damage too. If you don't start telling me what you're doing within a few seconds of me saying it's your turn, I have the right to declare that your character is delaying. When you do start talking, try to make it quick if possible to keep the pace up. (It's okay if you have questions though). Ideally, combat should go something like this:

  
  Rod: Everyone roll initiative.
  Leigh: 18
  Matt: 16
  Gerard: 13
  Devin: 19
  Sean: 20
  Rod: Pirate man, your turn.
  Sean: I move forward 10 feet and attacks the gnoll in front of him.
  Rod: Roll.
  Sean: 23, Natural 19 for 4 damage.
  Rod: Crit?
  Sean: Natural 20 for 6 more damage.
  Rod: Roll again.
  Sean: 18 for 7 more.
  Rod: Okay, 17 total damage. Your sword slices a deep gash in his chest and he collapses to the ground.
  Sean: I'm dodging the kobold now.
  Rod: Prince Poo!
  Devin: I move back 5 feet and cast manifest biocurrent.
  Rod: What's the save?
  Devin: uh...
  Rod: You're delaying until you can find it. Iron man! Leigh: I'd like to move left 15 feet and knock the elf's sword out of his hand.
  Rod: Attack of Opportunity. He swings at you but his sword whizzes about to inches above your head. Roll.
  Leigh: 19. [Damage isn't rolled for disarms]
  Rod: His sword flies out of his hands and lands on the strange runes on the floor just behind him. Rurik, what are you doing?
  Matt: What are yoooou doing?
  Rod: ...You're delaying. The goblin with the funny hat jumps from the balcony, grabs the chandelier, swings, and stabs you with his rapier in mid-air. It hits for 7 damage. Matt: I don't even care! Rod: Cecil Fielder!
  Gerard: I charge at funny hat while drawing my sword (as a free action).
  Rod: K.
  Gerard: Natural 20 for 8...23 for 6 on the crit.
  Rod: Wow, you guys are rolling great tonight! He collapses and falls to the ground with a thud, his hat landing next to him.
  Matt: Can I go now? I move to the stairs and--.
  (Matt accidently knocks over his miniature).
  Rod: You trip and fall down the stairs, knocking over the orc that's standing on them.
  Matt: Hey!
  (Matt knocks over all the enemy miniatures). Leigh: It's an earthquake! Gerard: "Behold! The very earth despises thy evil villany!" Rod: ...Nice try. They don't fall over. Matt: Aww no. Why you gotta playa-hate? Rod: The other goblin runs at Aeron and...(rolls natural 1) trips over his own feet (rolls another 1) falling on his sword.
  (laughing) Devin: The save is 14, Reflex for half.
  Rod: Damage?
  Devin: 4.
  Rod: The psychic energy wounds the orcs, but they look more angry than hurt.
  
  And so on...

• Any character who has 0 or more hit points and is reduced to -10 or less from a single attack, unless said attack deals 30 or more points of damage, remains at -9 hit points for one round (6 seconds). (This means you always get at least one chance to stabilize, unless attacked while unconcious or hurt for more than 30 damage in one hit. It also allows last minute healing spells.)
• For Perform and any similar skills (for example, tumble used to perform), a character may practice a performance by making a practice skill check. The character then gets a bonus of +1 to the actual performance if the practice check is 10 or higher, and an additional +1 for every 5 above that (10 is +1, 15 is +2, etc.) up to a maximum of +5. This bonus applies only to the specific perfomance practiced on the same day it was practiced. If the specific performance is given more than once that day, the bonus applies to all of these performances. A character may practice a number of unique performances per day equal to his intelligence modifier. Practice bonuses cannot be applied to practices, and practices may not be rerolled. Taking 10 or 20 is not allowed.
