====== House Rules for Tyranny of Dragons (Charles, Chris, and Travis) ======

  - Allowed Varatus to use Fire Bolt to burn his way out of a net
  - At level up, you can take the average for your HP or you can roll //in front of the DM only// to try and get better than the average, but once you roll, you're stuck with it. 
  - Logan is only allowed to kill a monster in the groin once per session. m(
  - We're //not// going to use the DMG's optional flanking rule
  - Casting a spell within attack range does not trigger Attack of Opportunity((Yes, this isn't technically a house rule, but we had been doing it wrong before.))
  - Will allow the Diplomacy Skill Feat from Unearthed Arcana.((I'll allow it, but for fair warning to you, I will strictly interpret the 1 minute talking rule, as well as the target needs to be able to understand you. I.e. middle of combat it's not going to fly, and talking to a monster that doesn't speak common etc it's never going to work. I'm also going to be strict about the difference between Persuasion and Deception / Intimidation / Performance. You can only use this on Persuasion, where you're trying to "attempt to influence someone or a group of people with tact, social graces, or good nature." See page 179 PHB. However, without spoiling anything, there will be more instances in the adventure where Persuasion will play a role, particularly in the level 8+ tentative plan I have for you guys, and I won't design encounters away from persuasion just because you have a nice roll for it.)) 
  - Lothar can have his warhammer retrofitted to have an axe blade on one end and a hammer on the other so he can switch between bludgeoning and piercing damage, but will give up the "versatile" 2 handed ability of the weapon.

  - Dragon mask giving water breathing is not enough to use Verbal component of spells underwater.
    - However, Jeremy Crawford says there is nothing about water //per se// that prevents spell casting.
