For whatever reason, whenever I click edit or share on my 46-page campaign guide I made for my players, I cannot see any of the guide. It's a single, grey page with "1/46" written in the top left corner.
The code is still there and, in fact, I can copy and paste it into a new editor, but it goes back to being grey if I save. Any help on fixing this would be appreciated. I need it finished by the end of the week, and this is a pretty big road block.

Rumenor Campaign Guide
We'll soon be starting the next campaign. It takes place in my hand-crafted world of Rumenor, a low-magic, high-fantasy game. (Think if you mixed Lord of the Rings and the Witcher.)
House Rules
As normal, I've a set of rules that I've chosen to work within this campaign. They are as follows:
Alignment. We will not be using alignment for this campaign. Rather you are to remain true to your character's motivations and backstory. That being said, I'm not allowing characters that could be strictly defined as Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, or Chaotic Evil.
Character Creation. Roll your stats (4d6 drop the lowest), if you average <10, you can show me and ask if you can reroll.
Cutscenes. There will be certain moments, usually a combat, that I won't use initiative for. Instead, an issue will be posed (say, a single giant tiger pounces from its hiding place). You can then state your action and we'll run through everything in a, hopefully, smooth fashion.
Death Saving Throws. You will make these rolls as secretively as possible. If you crit, resulting in regaining consciousness and 1 hit point, you may feel free to say so. Otherwise, unless someone revives you in time, I will ask you whether you lived or died after combat ends. You are under no obligation to tell me the truth, and I will not ask what you rolled.
Along with that, no one is to ask what another player rolled. If, in the event that a player has rolled 3 failed death saves, someone attempts to revive said player, the dead player is free to disclose, or not, the result of the rolls.
Experience. As far as experience goes, I'll be using the experience points system. That being said, I plan on awarding experience for more than just killing things. For example, I'll award more experience if you resolve things peacefully (when they can be), and bonus experience for synergy, working as a team, and creative resolutions.
Experience will also be granted upon reaching certain milestones. For example, uncovering a secret, finishing a sidequest, or reaching certain points in the current main quest will award lumpsums of experience (based on your current level, difficulty of the challenge, and so on).
Initiative. I've been lax with this, but I'm only doing this so combat doesn't drag on. For about a month or so, I will give you 5 seconds to state your action when your turn arrives in combat. If you fail to do so, you suffer from indecisiveness and take the Dodge action until your next turn.
After that first month or so, you will have 0 seconds. If you can't respond, you take the Dodge action. I recommend paying attention as each turn passes and forming a plan before your turn starts.
Memories. In addition to your background, I'll have you create several memories relating to your character's past. That will be further detailed under "Backgrounds."
Inspiration. I intend to grant inspiration for remaining true the concept of your character, as well as being able to go with the story, either by moving a scene along or helping to make a scene more enthralling. As per the rules, you can only have one at a time and you are allowed to grant them to other players.
Additionally, I'll allow the use of inspiration for more than just advantage on a roll. If you feel that an action would cool to perform (and mostly feasible in reality), but is otherwise not possible in the confines of the rules, ask if you can perform the action for in exchange for your inspiration. I may allow it.
Murky Mirror. You are a perfect reflection of your character in a murky mirror. It's not a perfect reflection, but it is synchronous. If the players are sitting around and talking, then so are the characters, saying roughly the same things. It might not even be English, but both sides of the reflection are communication.
(Paraphrased from the AngryGM. For a better understanding, google "AngryGM Murky Mirror".)
New Skills. An Intelligence (Lore) check meaures your ability to recall unusual and obscure information about old legends, ancient war gear, bits of song, rare artefacts, and the reading of runes. Lore replaces the Arcana skill; magic is an imprecise term, for is a term used to describe Firbolg, music, and the sinister cold in the Iron Wastes.
An Intelligence (Traditions) check measures your ability to recall the proper courtesies and etiquette expected by the various cultures, along with some of thier stories about their people and their respective histories. An Intelligence (Traditions) check is used whenever you wish to gain an audience with someone of influence. Traditions also covers the knowledge of such religion, as it exists in Rumenor.
Further Example of Cutscenes
Alice, Bob, Charon, and Dan are have decided to cut through a forest. There's a rustle in the bushes nearby and out leaps a large, 8-foot tiger, straight for Alice.
DM: "The tiger leaps straight at you. What do you do?"
Alice: "I want to dodge out of the way!"
Dan: "As she does that, I want to cut at it with my longsword!"
DM: "Okay. Alice, I need you to make a Dexterity save versus the tiger's attack. Dan, I need you to make an attack roll. It's currently sailing through the air, so make an attack roll with a DC of 12."
Alice: "I rolled a 17!"
Dan: "Dammit. Rolled a 9."
DM: "Nice, Alice. It rolled a 15. You narrowly dodge away from the claws of the tiger. Dan, it flies past you as you swing, your sword missing it by inches."
"The anvil is hard so that it can help shape the blade. If life were easy, we would all be soft and misshapen shards of metal, tossed into a bin."

—J.M. Bush, The Gods that Keep Them
Kingdoms rich in ancient grandeur, halls carved into the roots of mountains, the echoing of picks and hammers in deep mines and blazing forgest, a commitment to clan and tradition, and a burning hatred of dragons, goblins, and orcs—these common threads unite all dwarves.
Short and Stout
Bold and hardy, dwarves are known as skilled warriors, miners, and workers of stone and metal. Though they stand well under 5 feet tall, dwarves are so broad and compact that they can weigh as much as a human standing nearly two feet tallers. Their courage and endurance are also easily a match for any of the larger folk.
Clans and Kingdoms
Daewar and Duergar diverge wildly in terms of their preferred territories. Daewar kingdoms stretch deep beneath the mountains whereas Duerger settled in the vast tundra of the Iron Wastes. Regardless, they mine gems and precious metals and forge items of wonder. They love the beauty and artistry of precious metals and find jewelry, and in some dwarves this love festers into avarice. Whatever wealth they can't find in their mountains, they gain through trade.
The chief unit of dwarven society is the clan, and dwarves highly value social standing. Even dwarves who live far from their own kingdoms cherish their clan identities and affiliations, recognize related dwarves, and invoke their ancestors' names in oaths and curses. To be clanless is the worst fate that can befall a dwarf.
Dwarves in other lands are typically artisans, especially weaponsmiths, armorers, and jewelers. Some become mercenaries or bodyguards, highly sought after for their courage and loyalty.
The Dragon War
Few are alive who remember when dragons were a common sight. Beautiful yes, but also dangerous and deadly. For nearly an age dragons terrorized the people of Rumenor—killing people as well as livestock, collecting hoards of treasure, and being general terrors—before the dwarves, both Daewar and Duergar, had enough and hunted them to extinction. Their legacy still remains though, often in the form of drakes as well as wyverns.
It wasn't too long after, however, that the Duergar found themselves expelled from their homeland in the Iron Wastes. Despite their previous alliance with the Daewar, they received no aid and were overwhelmed by the monsters that pervade the Wastes.
The Duergar have since held a deep-seated grudge against the Daewar, one that will not fade easily.
For Clan and Kingdom
Dwarves who take up the adventuring life might be motivated by a desire for treasure—for its own sake, for a specific purpose, or even out of an altruisitic desire to help others. Clan and ancestry are also important motivators. A dwarf might seek to restore a clan's lost honor, avenge an ancient wrong the clan has suffered, or earn a new place within the clan after having been exiled. Or a dwarf might search for the axe wielded by a mughty ancestor, lost on the field of battle ages ago.
Female dwarves rarely venture beyond the confines of the kingdom, though it isn't unheard of for them to venture out—not that many would notice. Though a dwarf could tell the difference, both males and females are similar in appearance with females, in fact, capable of growing facial hair.
Dwarf Names
Dwarves are named after their fathers and usually have long family names, referring to themselves as "son of" or "daughter of" followed by their father. Some substitue their family paternal ancestors' names for particular achievement.
Your dwarf character has an assortment of inborn abilities, part and parcel of dwarven nature.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2.
***Adventuring Age: 50 to 100.*** Dwarves generally start their life on the road in their fifties and do not usually consider retiring before their nineties. Around that time, they feel they can no longer stay away from their family, or want to dedicate themselves solely to the perfection of their crafts. But dwarves can remain active until they are more than two hundred years old, and may return to adventuring if a great need arises. A healthy dwarf who avoids a violent death can reach 300 years of age.
***Size.*** Dwarves generally stand between 4 to 5 feet tall and can weigh upwards of 160 lbs. Your size is Medium.
***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet. Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor.
***Low-Light Vision.*** Accustomed to life in the dark, you have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet if you as if it were bright light, but you cannot see in the dark.
***Dwarven Resilience.*** You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.
***Dwarven Combat Training.*** You have proficiency with the axe, hand axe, great axe, hammer, and warhammer
\page
***Tool Proficiency.*** You have proficiency with the artisan's tools of your choice: jeweler's tools, mason's tools, miner's tools, smith's tools, or woodcarver's tools. You also gain proficiency in one musical instrument of your choice.
***Stonecunning.*** Whenever you make an intelligence (History) check related to the origin of stonework, you are considered proficient in the history skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.
***Lanugages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish. Dwarvish is a secret language known only to dwarves. It is filled with hard consonant and gutteral sounds, and is used between dwarves wishing for a private conversation.
***Subraces.*** Two main subraces of dwarves exist in Rumenor: Daewar and Duergar.
Daewar
As a Daewar, a mountain dwarf, you are strong and hardy. You were born with the drums of battle thumping in your ears. Though Daewar are not bred for war, they are prepared for it. You tend towards a paler complexion, a consequence of your ancestor's life undergroung.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 2.
***Dwarven Armor Training.*** You are proficient in medium and heavy armor.
Duergar
As a Duergar, you know the ringing of hammers and the forgin of steel better than anyone. You are at home among the forges — which, after the destruction siege of your people's capital of Frosthaven, is as close to home as you're likely to get. Your complexion is that of frostbitten flesh — dull blues to ashen grays — as a result of your ancestor's continued existence in the harsh cold of the Iron Wastes.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 1.
***Tundra Native.*** Centuries of living in the Iron Wastes has resulted in a natural resistance to the cold. You have a resistance to cold damage.
***Tool for War.*** You are proficient with the mattock.
\page
Firbolg
"We spent three months tracking the green dragon before locating the forest in which it sought refuge. On our second day in that place, we woke to find that dragon's head placed in the center of our camp. Soveliss told me that firbolgs must have claimed the forest, and they wanted to show us we had no further business there. If we lingered, he assured me, our heads would be next."
—Gimble, *Notes from the Treasure Hunter*
Firbolg tribes cloister in remote forest strongholds, preferring to spend their days in quiet harmony with the woods. When provoked, firbolg demonstrate formidable skills with weapons and druidic magic.
Humble Guardian
Firbolg love nothing more than a peaceful day spent among the trees of an old forest. They see forests as a sacred place, representing the heart of the world and monuments to the durability of life.
In their role as caretakers, firbolg live off the land while striving to remain in balance with nature. Their methods reflect common snse and remarkable resourcefulness. During a bountiful summer, they store away excess nuts, fruit, and berries. When winter arrives, they scatter everything they can spare to ensure the animals of the woods survive until springtime.
In a firbolg's eyes, there is no greater fault than greed. The firbolg believe that the world remains healthies when each creature takes only what it needs. Material goods, especially precious gems and gold, have little appeal to them. What use are such things when winter lingers and food runs short?
Firbolg Names
The concept of names strikes the Firbolg as strange. They know the animals and plants of th forest without formal names, and instead identify the forest's children by their deeds, habits, and other actions.
By the same token, their tribe names merely refer to their homes. When dealing with other races, firbolg refer to their land by whatever name the surrounding folk use, as a matter of tact and hospitality, but among their own kind they simply call it "home."
Sometimes firbolg adopt the nicknames or titles outsiders give them un the assumption that those who need names can call them whatever they wish.
Firbolg Traits
Your Firbolg character has the following racial traits.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 2 and your Strength score increases by 1.
***Adventuring Age: 100 - 250.*** Firbolg are invulnerable to age, yet rarely do they travel beyond their woodland homes. After reaching adulthood (about a century of age), however, some few go on a pilgrimage, either out of necessity or a keen wanderlust, though they are quick to return to their forest homes.
***Size.*** Firbolg are between 7 and 8 feet tall and weigh between 240 and 300 pounds. Your size is Medium.
***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
***Firbolg Magic.*** You have an innate sense of the natural and unnatural. You're also capable of magically appearing smaller than your usual stature.
You can cast *detect good and evil* and *disguise self* with this trait, yusing Wisdom as your spellcasting ability for them. Once you case either spell, you can't case it again with this trait until you finish a short or long rest. When you use this version of *disguise self*, you can seem up to 3 feet shorter than normal, allowing you to more easily blend in with humans.
***Mask of the Wild.*** You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.
***Powerful Build.*** You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
***Speech of Beast and Leaf.*** You have the ability to communicate in a limited manner with beasts and plants. They can understand the meaning of your words, though you have no special ability to understand them in return. You have advantage on all Charisma checks you make to influence them.
***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. Sylvan is the ancient language of nature and is known only to Firbolg and some druids.

Halflings
"There is more good in you than you know. Some courage and wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
— J.R.R Tolkien, *The Hobbit*
Halflings are a little people, about half the height of a human, and smaller than the bearded dwarves. Halflings have no beards
(strongearts being the exception). There is little or no magic about them, except the ordinary everyday sort which helps them to disappear quietly and quickly when large stupid folk come blundering along. They are inclined to be fat in the stomach; they dress in bright colors (chiefly green and yellow); wear no shoes, because their feet grow natural, leathery soles and thick warm brown hair like the stuff on their heads (which is curly); have long clever brown fingers, good-natured faces, and laugh deep fruity laughs (especially after dinner, which they have twice a day when they can get it).
Disappearing Act
Despite their inclination to be fat and that they do not hurry, they are nimble and deft in their movements. They possess the art of disappearing swiftly and silently when large folk they do not wish to meet come blundering by; and this art they have developed until to most it may seem magical.
Pastoral Pleasantries
Halflings are an unbtrusive but very ancienct people. They love peace and quiet and good tilled earth: a well-ordered and well-farmed countryside is their favorite haunt. They do not understand or like machines more complicated than a forge-bellows, a water-mill, or a hand-loom, though they are skillful with tools.
Halfling Names
A halfling has a given name, a family name, and possibly a nickname. Family names are often nicknames that stuck so tenactiously that they have been passed down through generations.
Your halfling character has a number of traits in common with all other halflings.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 2.
***Adventuring Age: 25 - 80.*** Halflings do not abandon their comfortable lives, but when they do, they usually wait until their coming of age at 33. But a particularly reckless Halfling might feel the call of adventure when in his tweens, as Hobbits call their twenties. Halflings generally pass early in their second century, remaining fairly healthy until the very end of their twilight years.
***Size.*** Hobbits are generally just slightly under three feet tall and weigh around 50 lbs. Your size is Small.
***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet.
***Lucky.*** When you roll a 1 on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll.
***Brave.*** You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.
***Elusive.*** You have proficiency in the Stealth skill.
***Halfling Nimbleness.*** You can move through the space of any creature who is at least one size larger than yours.
***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Halfling. The Halfling language isn't secret, but it is not often spoken outside of Hodge. They write very little, so they don't have a rich body of literature. Their oral tradition, on the other hand, is very strong. Almost all halflings speak Common to converse with the people in whose lands they dwell or through which they are traveling.
***Subraces.*** The three main kinds of halfling, lightfoot, strongheart, and ghostwise, are more like closely related families than true subraces. Choose one of these subraces.
Lightfoot
As a lightfoot halfling, you can easily hide from notice, even using other people as cover. You're inclined to be affable, and get along well with others.
Lightfoots are more prone to wanderlust than other halflings, especially when something gets them to wander in the first place.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 1.
***Naturally Stealthy.*** You can attempt to hide even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you.
Strongheart
As a strongheart halfling, you're hardier than average and have some resistance to poison. Some say that they have dwarven blood.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 1.
***Stout Resilience.*** You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.
Ghostwise
As a ghostwise halfling, you're more reserved than other halflings, but no less a lover of merrymaking. You're often more thoughtful and knowledgeable than most, capable of recalling various pieces of information.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.
***Lorekeeper.*** You have proficiency in the Lore skill and with calligrapher's supplies.

Humans
"A day may come when the courage of men fails,when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight!"
— Aragorn, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
In the reckoning of the world, humans are the youngest of the races, late to arrive on the world scene and short-lived in comparison to dwarves, halflings, and dragons. Perhaps it is because of their shorter lives that they strive to achieve as much as they can in the years they are given. Or maybe they feel like they have something to prove, and that's why they build their mighty empires on the foundation of conquest and trade. Whatever drives them, humans are the innovators, the achievers, and the pioneers.
Variety in All Things
Humans are the most adaptable and ambitious people among the common races. They have widely varying tastes, morals, and customs in the many different lands where they settled. When they settle, though, they stay. An individual human might have a relatively short lifespan, but a human nation or culture preserves traditions with origins far beyond the reach of any single human's memory. They live fully in the present—making them well suited to the adventuring life—but also plan for the future, striving to leave a lasting legacy.
Lasting Institutions
While dwarf clans and firbolg elders pass on the ancient traditions to each new generation, human temples, governments, libraries, and coes of law fix their tradtitions in the bedrock of history. Humans dream of immortality, but they achieve it by ensuring that they will be remembered when they are gone.
Human Names and Ethnicities
Having so much more variety than other cultures, humans as a whole have no typical names. The material culture and physical characteristics of humans can change wildly from region to region.
In Rumenor, three human cultures are widely recognized.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Two ability scores of your choice increase by 1.
***Adventuring Age: 16 - 30.***
***Size.*** Humans vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet all to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.
***Speed.*** Your base walking speeed is 30 feet.
***Language.*** You can speak, read, and write Common.
***Subraces.*** The three human subraces are more separate cultures rather than different breeds of human.
Dalish
The Dalish are quick-witted and clever. Found on fringes of civilization, they are capable of fending for themselves and living off the land.
The Dalish are of mixed complexions, ranging from shades of pale to copper hues to dark browns. Their hair, on the other hand, rarely strays far from shades of brown.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.
***Raised in the Wild.*** You have proficiency in the Survival skill.
***Starting Virtue.*** You may select on Dalish Cultural Virtue of your choice.
***Extra Language.*** You can speak, read, and write Dalish, a more archaic form of Common.
Men of Ard
The Men of Ard are strong, sturdy sailors and woodsmen. When not sailing, you can often find them telling tales at the local inn.
Complexions are often of a copperish hue, whereas their hair ranges from deep browns to sandy blondes.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 1.
***Sea Dog.*** You're proficient with navigator's tools and vehicles (water).
***Starting Virtue.*** You may selevt on Men of Ard Cultural Virtue of your choice.
***Extra Language.*** You can speak, read, and write Ardish, a language often adopted by sailors, regardless of origins, and filled with an excess of obscenities.
\page
Valnorians
Valnorians are weened on politics and trade, and often know a thing or two about smooth-talking and bartering.
Their complexions are usually light, which is in stark contrast to their often dark, sometimes black hair.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 1.
***Silver-Tongued.*** You have proficiency in the Persuasion and Deception skills.
***Starting Virtue.*** You may select on Valnorian Cultural Virtue of your choice.
***Extra Language.*** You can speak, read, and write Valnorian, a pompous-sounding language often spoken by rich merchants.
\page
Orc
"'Slash them! Beat them! Bite them! Gnash them! Take them away to dark holes full of snakes and never let them see the light again!' He was in such a rage that he jumped off his seat and himself rusged at Thorin with his mouth open."
—J.R.R Tolkien, *The Hobbit*
Now orcs are cruel, wicked, and bad-hearted. They make no beautiful things, but they makke many clever ones. They can tunnel as well as any but the most skilled dwarves, when they take the trouble, though they are usually untidy and dirty. Hammers, axes, swords, daggers, pickaxes, tongs, and also instruments of torture, they make very well, or get other people to make to their design, prisoners and slaves that have to work till they die for want of air and light.
Cull the Weak
Orcs have no respect for weakness. They will single out the weakest members of their fighting force, because removing these weak links strengthens the rest of the group. Soon after being born, an orc must be able to show that it will grow into a capable warrior, or else it will be removed in a brutal ceremony in which they cast the child off a cliff after beating it into unconsciousness.
Search, Destroy, Repeat
When a warband is on the move, orc warriors are commanded to scour the surrounding landscape for any opportunity to spill blood and bring glory to their race. Often, bands of warriors work on a rotation, with one group heading out on a raid just as another group returns, laden with severed heads, sacks of loot, and armfuls of food. Warriors also serve as scouts, bringing back detailed reports abou the surrounding area so that the commanding Uruk can plan where to send raiders next.
Orc Names
Orc names don't always have meaning in the Orc language nor do they denote gender, and most noteworthy orcs are given epithets by their peers.
**Epithets:** Death Speark, Eye Grouger, Flesh Ripper, Spine Snapper, The Brutal, The Butcher, The Defiler
Orc Traits
Your orc character has a number of traits in common with other orc-kin.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2.
***Adventuring Age: 14 - 60.*** Forced to mature quickly, orcs often come of age as early as six, but aren't allowed to leave their stronghold until their early teens, after completely their training and rights of passage. They remain active well into their their late fifties, before becoming warchiefs in their final years.
***Size.*** Orcs are usually over 6 feet tall and weigh between 230 and 280 lbs. Your size is medium.
***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
***Low-Light Vision.*** Thanks to your orc blood, you have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, but you cannot see in the dark.
***Relentless Endurance.*** When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
***Menacing.*** You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill.
***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Orc. Orc is a harsh, grating language with hard consonants.
***Subraces.*** The three main subrace of orcs are the ologs, the uruks, and the goblins. Each is bred to fill certain positions in the orcish hierarchy.
Olog
The largest and heaviest of the orcs, the ologs are bred for destructive capabilities. They are hard to kill, often requiring several combat-ready men to bring down. Outside of orc society, ologs are used as slave labor in human lands.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Intelligence is reduced by 1.
***Powerful Build.*** You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
\page
***Stubborn Brute.*** Your capable of shrugging off injuries that would prove fatal to the weak. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to roll a d12. Add your Constitution modifier to the number rolled, and reduce the damage by that total. After you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Uruk
Bred for leadership qualities, uruks are rather clever and tactical, as far as orcs go. When they're enhanced cunning isn't enough, their combat training usually is.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.
***Martial Training.*** You are proficient with two martial weapons of your choice.
***Saving Face.*** Uruks are careful not to show weakness in front of their allies, for fear of ridicule and death. If you miss with an attack roll or fail an ability check, you can gain a bonus to the roll equal to the number of allies you can see within 30 feet of you (maximum of +5). Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Goblin
Small and quick is the goblin way. Bred for scouting, goblins are capable of going unseen and undamaged in their mission.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity increases by 1.
***Nimble Escape.*** You can take the Disengage or Hide action on each of your turns.
***Sneaky.*** You gain proficiency in the Stealth skill.
As a barbarian, you gain the following class features.
Hit Points
**Hit Dice:** 1d12 per barbarian level
**Hit Points at 1st Level:** 12 + your Constitution modifier
**Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d12 (or 7) + your Constitution modifier per barbarian level after 1st.
Proficiencies
**Armor:** Light armor, medium armor, shields
**Weapons:** Simple weapons, martial weapons
**Tools:** None
**Saving Throws:** Strength, Constitution
**Skills:** Choose two from Animal Handling, Athletics, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, and Survival
Equipment
For this campaign, you will be buying equipment, in addition to whatever equipment is granted by your background.
Rage
In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action.
While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren't wearing heavy armor:
You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
When you make a melee weapons attack using Strength, you gain a bonus to the damage roll that increases as you gain levels as a barbarian, as shown in the Rage Damage column of the Barbarian table.
You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while raging.
Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage as a bonus action.
Unarmored Defense
While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
Reckless Attack
Starting at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.
Danger Sense
At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger.
You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.
\page
Primal Path
At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage. Choose the Path of the Ancestral Guardian, Path of the Berserker, or Path of the Totem Warrior, each is detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1.

Primal Paths
Rage burns in every barbarian's heart, a furnace that drives him or her towards greatness. Different barbarians attribute their rage to different sources, however.
Path of the Ancestral Guardian
Some barbarians, such as those in Dwarven culture, revere their ancestors. These barbarians are taught that the warriors of the past linger in the world as mighty spirits, who can guide and protect the living. When a barbarian who follows this path rages, the barbarian contacts the spirit world and calls on these guardian spirits for aid.
Barbarians who draw on their ancestral guardians can better fight to protect their allies. In order to cement ties to their ancestral guardians, barbarians who follow this path cover themselves in elaborate tattoos that celebrate their ancestor's deeds. These tattoos tell sagas of victories against terrible monsters and other fearsom rivals.
Ancestral Protectors
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, spectral warriors appear when you enter your rage. While you're raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the warriors, which hinder its attacks. Until the start of your next turn, the target has disadvantage on any attack roll that isn't against you, and when yhe target hits a creature other than you with an attack, that creature has resistance to the damage dealt by the attack. The effect on the target ends early if your rage ends.
Spirit Shield
Beginning at 6th level, the guardian spirits that aid you can provide supernatural protection for those you defend. If you are raging and another creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d6.
When you reach certain levels in this class, yo ucan reduce the damage by more: by 3d6 at 10th level and by 4d6 at 14th level,
Consult the Spirits
At 10th level, you gain the ability to consult with your ancestral spirits. When you do so, you case the augury or clairvoyance spell, without using a spell slot or material components. Rather than creating a spherical sensor, this use of clairvoyance invisibly summons one of your ancestral spirits to the chosen location. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
After you cast either spell in this way, you can't use tis feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
Vengeful Ancestors
At 14th level, your ancestral spirits grow powerful enough to retaliate. When you use your Spirit Shield to reduce the damage of an attack, the attacker takes an amount of force damage equal to the damage that your Spirit Shield prevents.
\page
Path of the Berserker
For some barbarians, rage is a means to an end—that end being violence. The Path of the Berserker is a path of untrammeled fury, slick with blood. As you enter the berserker's rage, you thrill in the chaos of battle, heedless of your own health or well-being.
Frenzy
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can go into a frenzy when you rage. If you do so, for the duration of your rage you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action on each of your turns after this one. When your rage ends, you suffer one level of exhaustion.
Mindless Rage
Beginning at 6th level, you can't be charmed or frightened while raging. If you are charmed or frightened when you enter your rage, the effect is suspended for the duration of the rage.
Intimidating Presence
Beginning at 10th level, you can use your action to frighten someone with your menacing presence. When you do so, choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. On subsequent turns, you can use your action to extend the duration of this effect on the frightened creature until the end of your next turn. This effect ends if creature ends its turn out of line of sight or mor than 60 feet away from you.
If the creature succeeds on its saving throw, you can't use this feature on that creature again for 24 hours.
Retaliation
Starting at 14th level, when you take damage from a creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature.
Path of the Totem Warrior
The Path of the Totem Warrior is a spiritual journey, as the barbarian accepts the spirit animal as guide, protector, and inspiration. In battle, your toem spirit fills you with supernatural might, adding magical fuel to your barbarian rage.
Most barbarian tribes consider a totem animal to be kin to a particular clan. In such cases, it is unusual for an individual to have more than one totem animal spirit, though exceptions exist.
Spirit Seeker
Yours is a path that seeks attunement with the natural world, giving you a kinship with beasts. At 3rd level when you adopt this path, you gain the ability to cast the beast sense and speak with animals spells, but only as rituals.
Totem Spirit
At 3rd level, when you adopt this path, you choose a totem spirit and gain its feature. You must make or acquire a physical totem object—an amulet or similar adornment—that incorporates fur or feathers, claws, teeth, or bones of the totem animal. At your option, you also gain minor physical attributes that are reminiscent of your totem spirit. For example, if you have a bear totem spirit, you might be unusually hair and thick skinned, or if your totem is the eagle, your eyes turn bright yellow.
Your totem animal might be an animal related to those listed here but more appropriate to your homeland. For example, you could choose a hawk or vulture in place of an eagle.
Bear. While raging, you have resistance to all damage except psychic damage. The spirit of the bear makes your tough tnough to stand up to any punishment.
Eagle. While you're raging and aren't wearing heavy armor, other creatures have disadvantage on opportunity attack rolls against you, and you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn. The spirit of the eagle makes you into a predator who can weave through the fray with ease.
Wolf. While you're raging, your friends have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature within 5 feet of you that is hostile to you. The spirit of the wolf makes you a leader of hunters.
Aspect of the Beast
At 6th level, you gain a magical benefit based on the totem animal of your choice. You can choose the same animal you selevted at 3rd level or a different one.
Bear. You gain the might of a bear. Your carrying capacity (including maximum load and maximum lift) is doubled, and you have advantage on Strength checks made to push, pull, lift, or break objects.
Eagle. You gain the eyesight of an eagle. You can see up to 1 mile away with no difficulty, able to discern even fine details as though looking at something no more than 100 feet away from you. Additionally, dim light doesn't impose disadvantage on your Wisdom (Perception) checks.
Wolf. You gain the huntin sensibilities of a wolf. You can track other creature while traveling at a fast pace, and you can move stealthily while traveling at normal pace.
Spirit Walker
At 10th level, you can cast the commune with nature spell, but only as a ritual. When you do so, a spiritual version of one of the animals you chose for Totem Spirit or Aspect of the Beast appears to you to conver the information you seek.
\page
Totemic Attunement
At 14th level, you gain a magical benefit based on a totem animal of your choice. You can choose the same animal you selected previously or a different one.
Bear. While you're raging, any creature within 5 feet of you that's hostile to you has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you or another character with this feature. An enemy is immune to this effect if it can't see or hear you or if it can't be frightened.
Eagle. While raging, you have a flying speed equal to your current walking speed. This benefit works only in short bursts; you fall if you end your turn in the air and nothing else is holding you aloft.

Most warriors and combat specialists spend their years perfecting the classic arts of swordplay, archery, or polearm tactics. Whether duelist or infantry, martial weapons were seemingly perfected long ago, and the true challenge is to master them.
However, some minds couldn't stop with the innovation of the crossbow. Experimentation with alchemical components and rare metals have unlocked the secrets of controlled explosive force. The few who survive these trials of ingenuity may become the first to create, and deftly wield, the first firearms.
This archetype focuses on the ability to design, craft, and utilzie powerful, yet dangerous ranged weapons. Through creative innovation and immaculate aim, you become a distant force of death on the battlefield. However, not bein a perfect science, firearms carry an inherent instability that can occasionally leave you without a functional means of attack. This is the danger of new, untested technologies.

At 2nd level, you learn maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called superiority dice.

You learn one additional maneuver of your choice at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels. Each time you learn a new maneuver, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one.

Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)
Primeval Awareness
Beginning at 3rd level, your mastery of ranger lore allows you to establish a powerful link to beasts and to the land around you. You have an innate ability to communicate with beasts, and they recognize you as a kindred spirit.
Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas to a beast as an action, and can read its basic mood and intent. You learn its emotional state, wheter it is affected by magic of any sort, its short-term needs (such as food or safety), and actions you can take (if any) to persuade it to not attack.
You cannot use this ability against a creature that you have attacked within the past 10 minutes.
Additionally, you can attune your senses to determine if any of your favored enemies lurk nearby. By spending 1 uninterrupted minute in concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), you can sense whether any of your favored enemies are present within 5 miles of you. This feature reveals which of your favored enemies are present, their numbers, and the creatures' general direction and distance (in miles) from you.

You lose this benefit if you move or fall prone, either voluntarily or because of some external effect. You are still automatically detected if any effect or action causes you to no longer be hidden.
If you are still hidden on your next turn, you can continue to remain motionless and gain this benefit until you are detected.

Foe Slayer
At 20th level, you become an unparalleled hunter. Once on each of your turns, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the attack roll or the damage roll of an attack you make. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.

Ravens of the Mountain
You have befriended a raven of the ancient breed living around the Coldpeak Mountains. Long-lived and able to speak the Common tongue, these birds are often wise companions, bound to your kin by ties of old friendship.
Many times in the past, they have provided invaluable help by gathering news or sending messages by your folk. Wherever you are, your raven friend is never far away. You can sound a call and summon to your presence in a matter of minutes. As soon as he joins you, you may command him.
Usually the raven is eager to please you, but an unusual or less than reasonable request might put their faithfulness to the test and require a DC 15 Charisma (Persuasion) ability check. The raven does not ask for anything in return, but repeated requests over a short time might sooner or later elad it to feel entitled to compensation (its precise terms are up to the DM, and might lead to interesting story developments).
The time needed for a raven to complete the errand depends on the request, on the distance to be covered, and on the complexity of the assignment. A raven flies at an average speed of 30 miles per hour. The following list shows some of the possible errands you can assign to your winged ally, but should in no way limit your inventiveness.
**Bring Tidings.** A raven is always well informed about the latest events concerning the wild and is eager to report them.
**Carry Message.** The raven can deliver messages anywhere in the region, passing its content to others of his kin.
**Investigate.** The raven can be sent to gather information on a specific subject. It must be something naturally accessible to one of its kind.
**Carry Food.** A raven might be persuaded to carry some food if able to steal or borrow it from a location within a day's flight.
Runecraft
You have been taught some long-remembered fragments of old spells that retain power to this day. Some require you to cut or engrave a runic inscription, usually in stone or metal, or sometimes carved in wood. You can learn a total of three such spells: Secrecy, Prohibition and Exclusion, and Opening and Shutting.
You learn one spell when you first select this virtue, and you may learn a new one whenever you take this feat again.
\page
**Spells of Opening and Shutting.** This fragment must be recited in front of a door orgate, to magically lock it, or recited backwards to open it if locked. The spell has no effect on a door that has been blocked by magic and now requires a particular word to open it. Attempts to break down the door have their DC increased by 10. The spell starts working as soon as you have finished reciting it.
**Spells of Prohibition and Exclusion.** This runic inscription is usually placed on gates and on doors, to protect an area from unwanted visitors. You may carve these signs on a rock or on the bark of a tree within the perimeter of your camp, and their power will wake you at the first sign of danger. Carve the runes and go to sleep. You will immediately awaken in any threatening presence approaches within 30 feet of your camp.
**Spell of Secrecy** Carve these runes on a concealed door, personal hiding place, or object, and it will be noticed only if someone searches for it with great care. These signs are invisible to the untrained eye as long as the power within them is still working; they can only be seen and read when the spell is spent or broken.
The object concealed by the spell can only be found on a DC 30 Intelligence (Investigation) ability check, unless the searcher is a Dwarf, in which case the DC is 15.

### Bountiful Luck
Your people have extraordinary luck, which you have learned to lend to your companions when you see them falter. You're not sure how you do it; you just wish it and it happens. Surely a sign of fortune's favor!
When an ally you can see within 30 feet of you rolls a 1 on a d20 for an attack roll, can ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to let the ally re-roll the die. The ally must use the new roll.
When you use this ability, you can't use your Lucky racial trait before the end of your next turn.
### Brave at a Pinch
A wise man once said that you have to put a Halfling in a tight place before you find out what is in them (the problem being that they try their best to avoid tight places...).
You may take an action and spend a Hit Die to martial your spirit for a fight. For the length of the following combat, you are immune to the Frightened condition, and are unaffected by the penalties derived from any exhaustion levels that you may have.

You have advantage on your attack rolls against that opponent, until your opponent chooses to take a step back to attack you (which will provoke an opportunity attack).

\page
### The Speakers
You have learned how to engage in simple communication with almost everything in nature, from living beings to grass, sotne, and water. This means, for example, that you can hear muttering from the stones in a path if other trod it recently.
To use this gift, you must make an appropriate ability check. Which skill you use depends on what you are trying to do and is at the DM's discretion. As an example, to interpret the grumblings of stones in a path requires an Intelligence (Investigation) ability check, or listening to the voice of a river requires a Wisdom (Insight) ability check.
Most objects are of limited, if any, sentience and can seldom provide exacting details, especially since they seldom pay much attention to things that don't direcly concern them.

# Backgrounds
## Memories
For character creation, you are going to create up to 7 memories your character would have about their life, just a couple sentences, straight to the points *(tell me, don't show me)*. They are as follows:
***Defining statement.*** Not a memory per se. This is one, maybe two, sentences that define your character in a nutshell. (You can use "Who is my Fucking #D&D Character" for examples of this, though I don't suggest actually using your results.)
***Class (1).*** I would like one memory pertaining as to how you became the class you are. This could be anything from pressured by your family to wanting to have enlisted in the military. If you have any lore-based questions, feel free toask.
***Family (2).*** I want you to create two memories pertaining to family members. As close as sibling to as distant as cousins. Maybe your sister inspired you to be who you are today, or perhaps your nosy cousins are always getting into your business.
***Any Party Relations (1).*** *This is optional.* Do you know any other member of the party? If so, how? Are you family, friends, enemies? Did you cross glances one time at a birthday party and only vaguely remember their face?
***Interesting Facts (3).*** I would like at least one interesting fact about you. Do you ride horses? Perhaps you study history in your free time? Do you have 6 toes on one foot and 8 on the other?
## Backgrounds
Your memories are great for deciding who your character is. In fact, you can leave it there if you'd like and we can work on what kind of personality traits, boons, features equipment you might get as a result. That being said, feel free to choose a background to further flesh out your character.
### Charlatan
### City Watch
### Clan Crafter
### Cloistered Scholar
### Courtier
### Criminal
### Entertainer
### Guild Artisan
### Hermit
### Inheritor
### Ionad Noble
### Mercenary Veteran
### Noble

### Soldier
### Urchin
\page
Simply due to running short on time, I am unable to add backgrounds to this guide. For the time being, you may select from the PHB backgrounds, with the exceptions of Acolyte and Folk Hero. I will work on getting them in here in the following week or so with any necessary adjustments.
In addition, as you come across them make the following changes:
- Convert gp to sp, sp to tp (or to an equivalent in cp).
- Replace Arcana with Lore, and Religion with Traditions.
- Wizards, Druids, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Paladins, Clerics, Fey, fiends and angels don't exist (unless otherwise stated by me). Any part of a background relating to these is to be ignored, as if it wasn't an option.
- Evil bonds are off-limits.
- TO ANYONE PLAYING AN ORC: I strongly recommend looking at Volo's guide for the orc background information. There is some lore that changes some information (for example, Orcs have a small kingdom in the mountains near Graydon hill, rather than separate tribes), but I can address them before we begin play.

# Equipment
## Starting Equipment
For this campaign, you'll be buying your own gear. Unlike the PHB standard, your wealth is based on your cultural background (your Race), rather than your class.
##### Starting Wealth by Race
|Race|Funds|
|:---|----:|
| Dwarf | 5d4 x 10 sp |
| Firbolg | 5d4 sp |
| Halfling | 3d4 x 10 sp |
| *Human* | |
| Men of Ard | 3d4 x 10 sp |
| Dalish | 3d4 x 10 sp |
| Valnorian | 5d4 x 10 sp |
| Orc | 2d4 x 10 sp |
## Wealth
Wealth appears in many forms in Rumenor. Coins, gemstones, trade goods, art objects, animals, and property can reflect your character's financial weel being. Members of the peasantry trade in goods, bartering for what they need and paying taxes in grain and cheese. Members of the nobility trade in either legal rights, such as the rights to a mine, a port, or farmland, or in gold bars, measuring gold by pound rather than by the coin. Only merchants, travelers, and those offering professional services for hire commonly deal in coins.
### Coinage
Common coins come in several different denominations based on the relative worth fo the metal from thich they are made. The most common coins are silver pieces (sp); divisions of silver, the tenpiece (tp) and halfpiece (hp), which are based on fractions of the weight of a whole silver coin.; and copper pieces (cp).
One silver piece is worth 100 copper pieces, 10 tenpieces, and 2 halfpieces. A tenpiece buys a laborer's work for a day, a flask of lamp oil, or a night's rest in a poor inn.
In addition, unusual coins made of other precious metals sometimes appear. The gold piece (gp) and electrum piece (ep) are generally considered as figurative amounts rather than actual coin however, and using them in trade may arrouse suspicion or skepiticism. A gold piece is worth 10 silver pieces or 1,000 copper pieces. An electrum piece is worth 5 silver pieces or 500 copper pieces.
A standard coin weighs about a third of an ounce, so fifty coins weigh a pound—with the exception of halfpieces and tenpieces, which weight half has much or a tenth as much of a standard coin, respectively.
Additionally, various civilizations refer to different coins with different terminologies. For instance, dwarves refer to a copper piece as a copper and a silver piece as a silver, whereas a Valnorian would refer to them as a rude or a light, respectively.
##### Exchange Rate
| Coin | cp | tp | hp | sp | ep | gp |
|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| Copper (cp) | 1 | 1/10 | 1/50 | 1/100 | 1/500 | 1/1000|
| Tenpiece (tp) | 10 | 1 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 1/50 | 1/100 |
| Halfpiece (hp) | 50 | 5 | 1 | 1/2 | 1/10 | 1/20 |
| Silver (sp) | 100 | 10 | 2 | 1 | 1/5 | 1/10 |
| Electrum (ep) | 500| 50| 10 | 5 | 1 | 1/2
| Gold (gp) | 1,000 | 100 | 20 | 10 | 2 | 1 |
##### Terminology
| Coin/Dwarven | Arduin | Dales | Valnor |
|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| Copper | Pigface | Luck | Rude |
| Tenpiece | Jackface | Ping | Light |
| Halfpiece | Queenface | Sheb | Count |
| Silver | Kingface | Fen | Glimmer |
| Electrum | — | — | Spill |
| Gold | — | — | Purse |
### Selling Treasure
Generally, merchants are willing to buy just about anything as long as it's still in good condition, as long as it's within their realm of merchandising.
***Arms, Armor, and Other Equipment.*** As a general rule, undamage weapons, armor, and other equipment fetch half their cost when sold in a market. Weapons and armor used by bandits and monsters are rarely in good enough condition to sell.
***Gems, Jewelry, and Art Objects.*** These items retain their full value in the marketplace, and you can either trade them in for coin or use them as currency for other transactions. For exceptionally valuable treasures, the DM might require you to find a buyer in a large town or larger community first.
***Trade Goods.*** Generally, most people are willing to conduct transactions through barter. Like gems and art objects, trade goods—bars of iron, bags of salt, livestock, and so on—retain their full value in the market and can be used as currency.
\page
## Gear
***Tower Shield.*** Huge and round or barrel shaped, these shields are carried in battle by the sturdiest of warriors, and are considered too cumbersome and unwieldy by many, as a result. Tower shields remove the ability to make the Dash action, but they can be planted in the ground, creating 3/4 cover. Tower shields can only be used by size Medium or larger warriors.
#### New Weapon
***Mattock.*** A mattock is a heavy digging implement, sporting a flat, hammer head on one side an a spade-like "blade" on the other. Dwarves, daewar and duergar alike, choose to wield their mattocks in battle to fearsome effect.
***Firearms.*** Though some might know the secrets of gunsmithing, only dwarves readily produce firearms and they're loathe to sell them off. Being a relatively new creation, they are prone to mishaps, but there's very little competition in terms of weaponry.
#### Mastercrafted Weapons and Armor
Throughout Rumenor there exist talented smiths, capable of crafting weapons or armor that are a cut-above the norm. A warrior that wishes to acquire of mastercrafted gear must find a talented enough smith to craft it for them, and willing to pay the increased price.
A mastercrafted weapon costs a base of 20 silver x the bonus value + 3x the listed price of the desired weapon. A suit of mastercrafted armor costs 50 silver x the bonus value + 2x the listed price.
*For example, a longsword normally costs 40 silver. If you want a mastercrafted longsword, it's an additional 20 silver per bonus value. Thus, a +1 mastercrafted longsword costs 140 silver (or the equivalent of 14 gold).*
A human mastercraft weapon adds a +1 bonus to all attack and damage rolls made with it, while
a suit of human mastercraft armor grants a +1 bonus to AC while equipped.
Only dwarves are capable of making anything superior. Dwarf-forged mastercraft armor as an added +1 bonus to Armor Class (AC), in addition to the effect of human mastercrafted armor; and dwarf-forged mastercraft weapons have a +2 bonus as opposed to +1.

## Adventuring Gear
#### Ball Bearings
As an action, you can spill these tiny metal balls from their pouch to cover a level area 10 feet square. A creature moving across the covered area must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. A creature moving through the area at half speed doesn't need to make the saving throw.
#### Caltrops
As an action, you can spread a single bag of catlrops to cover a 5-foot-area. Any creature that enters the area must succeed on taking a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or stop moving and take 1 piercing damage. Until the creature regains at least 1 hit point, it's walking speed is reduced by 10 feet. A creature moving through the area at half speed doesn't need to make the saving throw.
#### Candle
For 1 hour, a candle sheds bright light in a 5 foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
#### Case, Crossbow Bolt
This wooden case can hold up to twenty bolts.
#### Chain
A chain has 10 hit points. It can be burst with a successful DC 20 Strength check.
#### Dwarven Toys
The delightful creations of the dwarves and their apprentices come from their kingdoms in the Coldpeaks and Golden Peaks and sold at toy markets throughout Rumenor. Made from intracately carved wood and metal, the greatest (and most expensive) are so cunningly wrought that they have properties that seem magical: soldiers that march in unison, metal bears with tiny roars and little instruments that play themselves have all been sold in toy markets.
#### Fireworks
Small explosives that, soon after being lit, make a burst of sound, light, or both. The fireworks produced around Rumenor range from small whizz-bangs to teeth-rattling thunerclaps, and from small fire-flowers to full-sized burning shapes in the sky. Firework creatin is a relatively young art and they are not very robust as of yet.
#### Healer's Kit
This kit is a leather pouch containing bandage, salves, and splints. The kit has ten uses. As an action, you can spend one use of the kit to stabilize a creature that has 0 hit points, without needing to make a Wisdom (Medicine) check.
```
```
#### Hunting Trap
When you use your action to set it, this trap forms a saw-toothed steel ring that snaps shut when a creature steps on a pressure plate in the center. The trap is affixed by a heavy chain to an immobile object, such as a tree or a spike driven into the ground. A creature that steps on the plate must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 piercing damage and stop moving. Thereafter, until the creature breaks free of the trap, its movement is limited by the length of the chain (typically 3 feet long). A creature can use its action to make a DC 13 Strength, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Each failed check deals 1 piercing damage to the trapped creature.
#### Lamp
A lamp casts bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. Once lit, it burns for 6 hours on a flask (1 pint) of oil.
#### Lantern, bullseye
A bullseye lantern casts bright light in a 60-foot cone and dim light for an additional 60 feet. Once lit, it burns for 6 hours on a flask (1 pint) of oil.
#### Lantern, hooded
A hooded lantern casts bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. Once lit, it burns for 6 hours on a flask (1 pint) of oil. As an action, you can lower the hood, reducing the light to dim light in a 5-foot radius.
#### Oil
Oil usually comes in a clay flask that holds 1 pint. As an action, you can splash the oil in this flask onto a creature within 5 feet of you or throw it up to 20 feet, shattering it on impace. Make a ranged attack against a creature or object, treating the oil as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target is covered in oil. If the target takes any fire damage before the oil dries (after 1 minute), the target takes an additional 5 fire damage from the burning oil. You can also pour a flask of oil on the ground to cover a 5-foot-square area, provided that the surface is level. If lit, the oil burns for 2 rounds and deals 5 fire damage to any creature that enters the area or ends its turn in the area. A creature can take this damage only once per turn.
#### Pouch
A cloth or leather pouch can hold up to 20 sling bullets, among other things.
#### Quiver
A quiver can hold up to 20 arrows.
#### Rope
Rope has 2 hit points and can be burst with a DC 17 Strength check.
#### Torch
A torch burns for 1 hour, providing bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. If you make a melee attack with a burning torch and hit, it deals 1 fire damage.
\page
#### Traveling Gear
Traveling gear includes all the typical belongings that one carries when traveling. Adventurer's being a somewhat rare breed in Rumenor, there is little notion of any specialised equipment.
Traveling gear varies by the time a year a company sets out. Spring and summer gear consists of lighter clothes and cloaks, blankets, water and rations. Winter and autum gear requires warm clothing, thick jackets, fur lined cloaks and solid boots with heavier bedrolls along with water and rations.
***
**Spring and Summer Traveling Clothes.** Includes appropriate garb, backpack, blanket, mess kit, a flask of oil, a pouch, 50' hempen rope, 5 torches, a waterskin and a whetstone. With rations, this gear weighs 49 lbs and if purchased, would cost about 10 silvers.
***
**Autumn and Summer Traveling Clothes.** Includes appropriate garb, backpack, bedroll, hooded lantern, mess kit, a flask of oil, a pouch, 50' hempen rope, a waterskin, and a whetstone. With rations, this gear wieghs 54 lbs. and if purchased, would cost around 20 silvers.

## Tools
For whatever reason, whenever I click edit or share on my 46-page campaign guide I made for my players, I cannot see any of the guide. It's a single, grey page with "1/46" written in the top left corner. The code is still there and, in fact, I can copy and paste it into a new editor, but it goes back to being grey if I save. Any help on fixing this would be appreciated. I need it finished by the end of the week, and this is a pretty big road block.

Rumenor Campaign Guide

Rumenor Campaign Guide
We'll soon be starting the next campaign. It takes place in my hand-crafted world of Rumenor, a low-magic, high-fantasy game. (Think if you mixed Lord of the Rings and the Witcher.)
House Rules
As normal, I've a set of rules that I've chosen to work within this campaign. They are as follows:
Alignment. We will not be using alignment for this campaign. Rather you are to remain true to your character's motivations and backstory. That being said, I'm not allowing characters that could be strictly defined as Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, or Chaotic Evil.
Character Creation. Roll your stats (4d6 drop the lowest), if you average <10, you can show me and ask if you can reroll.
Cutscenes. There will be certain moments, usually a combat, that I won't use initiative for. Instead, an issue will be posed (say, a single giant tiger pounces from its hiding place). You can then state your action and we'll run through everything in a, hopefully, smooth fashion.
Death Saving Throws. You will make these rolls as secretively as possible. If you crit, resulting in regaining consciousness and 1 hit point, you may feel free to say so. Otherwise, unless someone revives you in time, I will ask you whether you lived or died after combat ends. You are under no obligation to tell me the truth, and I will not ask what you rolled.
Along with that, no one is to ask what another player rolled. If, in the event that a player has rolled 3 failed death saves, someone attempts to revive said player, the dead player is free to disclose, or not, the result of the rolls.
Experience. As far as experience goes, I'll be using the experience points system. That being said, I plan on awarding experience for more than just killing things. For example, I'll award more experience if you resolve things peacefully (when they can be), and bonus experience for synergy, working as a team, and creative resolutions.
Experience will also be granted upon reaching certain milestones. For example, uncovering a secret, finishing a sidequest, or reaching certain points in the current main quest will award lumpsums of experience (based on your current level, difficulty of the challenge, and so on).
Initiative. I've been lax with this, but I'm only doing this so combat doesn't drag on. For about a month or so, I will give you 5 seconds to state your action when your turn arrives in combat. If you fail to do so, you suffer from indecisiveness and take the Dodge action until your next turn.
After that first month or so, you will have 0 seconds. If you can't respond, you take the Dodge action. I recommend paying attention as each turn passes and forming a plan before your turn starts.
Memories. In addition to your background, I'll have you create several memories relating to your character's past. That will be further detailed under "Backgrounds."
Inspiration. I intend to grant inspiration for remaining true the concept of your character, as well as being able to go with the story, either by moving a scene along or helping to make a scene more enthralling. As per the rules, you can only have one at a time and you are allowed to grant them to other players.
Additionally, I'll allow the use of inspiration for more than just advantage on a roll. If you feel that an action would cool to perform (and mostly feasible in reality), but is otherwise not possible in the confines of the rules, ask if you can perform the action for in exchange for your inspiration. I may allow it.
Murky Mirror. You are a perfect reflection of your character in a murky mirror. It's not a perfect reflection, but it is synchronous. If the players are sitting around and talking, then so are the characters, saying roughly the same things. It might not even be English, but both sides of the reflection are communication.
(Paraphrased from the AngryGM. For a better understanding, google "AngryGM Murky Mirror".)
New Skills. An Intelligence (Lore) check meaures your ability to recall unusual and obscure information about old legends, ancient war gear, bits of song, rare artefacts, and the reading of runes. Lore replaces the Arcana skill; magic is an imprecise term, for is a term used to describe Firbolg, music, and the sinister cold in the Iron Wastes.
An Intelligence (Traditions) check measures your ability to recall the proper courtesies and etiquette expected by the various cultures, along with some of thier stories about their people and their respective histories. An Intelligence (Traditions) check is used whenever you wish to gain an audience with someone of influence. Traditions also covers the knowledge of such religion, as it exists in Rumenor.

Races
Dwarf
"The anvil is hard so that it can help shape the blade. If life were easy, we would all be soft and misshapen shards of metal, tossed into a bin." <p style='text-indent: 110px';> —J.M. Bush, The Gods that Keep Them
Kingdoms rich in ancient grandeur, halls carved into the roots of mountains, the echoing of picks and hammers in deep mines and blazing forgest, a commitment to clan and tradition, and a burning hatred of dragons, goblins, and orcs—these common threads unite all dwarves.
Short and Stout
Bold and hardy, dwarves are known as skilled warriors, miners, and workers of stone and metal. Though they stand well under 5 feet tall, dwarves are so broad and compact that they can weigh as much as a human standing nearly two feet tallers. Their courage and endurance are also easily a match for any of the larger folk.
Clans and Kingdoms
Daewar and Duergar diverge wildly in terms of their preferred territories. Daewar kingdoms stretch deep beneath the mountains whereas Duerger settled in the vast tundra of the Iron Wastes. Regardless, they mine gems and precious metals and forge items of wonder. They love the beauty and artistry of precious metals and find jewelry, and in some dwarves this love festers into avarice. Whatever wealth they can't find in their mountains, they gain through trade.
The chief unit of dwarven society is the clan, and dwarves highly value social standing. Even dwarves who live far from their own kingdoms cherish their clan identities and affiliations, recognize related dwarves, and invoke their ancestors' names in oaths and curses. To be clanless is the worst fate that can befall a dwarf.
Dwarves in other lands are typically artisans, especially weaponsmiths, armorers, and jewelers. Some become mercenaries or bodyguards, highly sought after for their courage and loyalty.
The Dragon War
Few are alive who remember when dragons were a common sight. Beautiful yes, but also dangerous and deadly. For nearly an age dragons terrorized the people of Rumenor—killing people as well as livestock, collecting hoards of treasure, and being general terrors—before the dwarves, both Daewar and Duergar, had enough and hunted them to extinction. Their legacy still remains though, often in the form of drakes as well as wyverns.
It wasn't too long after, however, that the Duergar found themselves expelled from their homeland in the Iron Wastes. Despite their previous alliance with the Daewar, they received no aid and were overwhelmed by the monsters that pervade the Wastes. The Duergar have since held a deep-seated grudge against the Daewar, one that will not fade easily.
For Clan and Kingdom
Dwarves who take up the adventuring life might be motivated by a desire for treasure—for its own sake, for a specific purpose, or even out of an altruisitic desire to help others. Clan and ancestry are also important motivators. A dwarf might seek to restore a clan's lost honor, avenge an ancient wrong the clan has suffered, or earn a new place within the clan after having been exiled. Or a dwarf might search for the axe wielded by a mughty ancestor, lost on the field of battle ages ago.
Female dwarves rarely venture beyond the confines of the kingdom, though it isn't unheard of for them to venture out—not that many would notice. Though a dwarf could tell the difference, both males and females are similar in appearance with females, in fact, capable of growing facial hair.
Dwarf Names
Dwarves are named after their fathers and usually have long family names, referring to themselves as "son of" or "daughter of" followed by their father. Some substitue their family paternal ancestors' names for particular achievement.
Male Names: Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dain, Dori, Dwalin, Farin, Fili, Frerin, Fror, Gimli, Gloin, Groin, Gror, Kili, Nori, Oin, Ori, Thorin, Thrain, Thrawn
**Female Names:** Ami, Anim, Adin, Brair, Biin, Blis, Diin Dis, Des, Doris, Glam, Glis, Gren, Hiin, Kali, Nami, Nis, Tali, Thris, Tiin, Tis, Tris
**Titles:** Battlehamer, Brawnanvil, Fireforge, Frostbeard, Ironfoot, Oakenshield, Stonehelm
Dwarf Traits
Your dwarf character has an assortment of inborn abilities, part and parcel of dwarven nature.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2.
***Adventuring Age: 50 to 100.*** Dwarves generally start their life on the road in their fifties and do not usually consider retiring before their nineties. Around that time, they feel they can no longer stay away from their family, or want to dedicate themselves solely to the perfection of their crafts. But dwarves can remain active until they are more than two hundred years old, and may return to adventuring if a great need arises. A healthy dwarf who avoids a violent death can reach 300 years of age.
***Size.*** Dwarves generally stand between 4 to 5 feet tall and can weigh upwards of 160 lbs. Your size is Medium.
***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet. Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor.
***Low-Light Vision.*** Accustomed to life in the dark, you have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet if you as if it were bright light, but you cannot see in the dark.
***Dwarven Resilience.*** You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.
***Dwarven Combat Training.*** You have proficiency with the axe, hand axe, great axe, hammer, and warhammer
\page
***Tool Proficiency.*** You have proficiency with the artisan's tools of your choice: jeweler's tools, mason's tools, miner's tools, smith's tools, or woodcarver's tools. You also gain proficiency in one musical instrument of your choice.
***Stonecunning.*** Whenever you make an intelligence (History) check related to the origin of stonework, you are considered proficient in the history skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.
***Lanugages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish. Dwarvish is a secret language known only to dwarves. It is filled with hard consonant and gutteral sounds, and is used between dwarves wishing for a private conversation.
***Subraces.*** Two main subraces of dwarves exist in Rumenor: Daewar and Duergar.
Daewar
As a Daewar, a mountain dwarf, you are strong and hardy. You were born with the drums of battle thumping in your ears. Though Daewar are not bred for war, they are prepared for it. You tend towards a paler complexion, a consequence of your ancestor's life undergroung.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 2.
***Dwarven Armor Training.*** You are proficient in medium and heavy armor.
Duergar
As a Duergar, you know the ringing of hammers and the forgin of steel better than anyone. You are at home among the forges — which, after the destruction siege of your people's capital of Frosthaven, is as close to home as you're likely to get. Your complexion is that of frostbitten flesh — dull blues to ashen grays — as a result of your ancestor's continued existence in the harsh cold of the Iron Wastes.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 1.
***Tundra Native.*** Centuries of living in the Iron Wastes has resulted in a natural resistance to the cold. You have a resistance to cold damage.
***Tool for War.*** You are proficient with the mattock.
\page
Firbolg
"We spent three months tracking the green dragon before locating the forest in which it sought refuge. On our second day in that place, we woke to find that dragon's head placed in the center of our camp. Soveliss told me that firbolgs must have claimed the forest, and they wanted to show us we had no further business there. If we lingered, he assured me, our heads would be next."
—Gimble, *Notes from the Treasure Hunter*
Firbolg tribes cloister in remote forest strongholds, preferring to spend their days in quiet harmony with the woods. When provoked, firbolg demonstrate formidable skills with weapons and druidic magic.
Humble Guardian
Firbolg love nothing more than a peaceful day spent among the trees of an old forest. They see forests as a sacred place, representing the heart of the world and monuments to the durability of life.
In their role as caretakers, firbolg live off the land while striving to remain in balance with nature. Their methods reflect common snse and remarkable resourcefulness. During a bountiful summer, they store away excess nuts, fruit, and berries. When winter arrives, they scatter everything they can spare to ensure the animals of the woods survive until springtime.
In a firbolg's eyes, there is no greater fault than greed. The firbolg believe that the world remains healthies when each creature takes only what it needs. Material goods, especially precious gems and gold, have little appeal to them. What use are such things when winter lingers and food runs short?
Firbolg Names
The concept of names strikes the Firbolg as strange. They know the animals and plants of th forest without formal names, and instead identify the forest's children by their deeds, habits, and other actions.
By the same token, their tribe names merely refer to their homes. When dealing with other races, firbolg refer to their land by whatever name the surrounding folk use, as a matter of tact and hospitality, but among their own kind they simply call it "home."
Sometimes firbolg adopt the nicknames or titles outsiders give them un the assumption that those who need names can call them whatever they wish.
Firbolg Traits
Your Firbolg character has the following racial traits.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 2 and your Strength score increases by 1.
***Adventuring Age: 100 - 250.*** Firbolg are invulnerable to age, yet rarely do they travel beyond their woodland homes. After reaching adulthood (about a century of age), however, some few go on a pilgrimage, either out of necessity or a keen wanderlust, though they are quick to return to their forest homes.
***Size.*** Firbolg are between 7 and 8 feet tall and weigh between 240 and 300 pounds. Your size is Medium.
***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
***Firbolg Magic.*** You have an innate sense of the natural and unnatural. You're also capable of magically appearing smaller than your usual stature.
You can cast *detect good and evil* and *disguise self* with this trait, yusing Wisdom as your spellcasting ability for them. Once you case either spell, you can't case it again with this trait until you finish a short or long rest. When you use this version of *disguise self*, you can seem up to 3 feet shorter than normal, allowing you to more easily blend in with humans.
***Mask of the Wild.*** You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.
***Powerful Build.*** You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
***Speech of Beast and Leaf.*** You have the ability to communicate in a limited manner with beasts and plants. They can understand the meaning of your words, though you have no special ability to understand them in return. You have advantage on all Charisma checks you make to influence them.
***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. Sylvan is the ancient language of nature and is known only to Firbolg and some druids.

Halflings
"There is more good in you than you know. Some courage and wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
— J.R.R Tolkien, *The Hobbit*
Halflings are a little people, about half the height of a human, and smaller than the bearded dwarves. Halflings have no beards (strongearts being the exception). There is little or no magic about them, except the ordinary everyday sort which helps them to disappear quietly and quickly when large stupid folk come blundering along. They are inclined to be fat in the stomach; they dress in bright colors (chiefly green and yellow); wear no shoes, because their feet grow natural, leathery soles and thick warm brown hair like the stuff on their heads (which is curly); have long clever brown fingers, good-natured faces, and laugh deep fruity laughs (especially after dinner, which they have twice a day when they can get it).
Disappearing Act
Despite their inclination to be fat and that they do not hurry, they are nimble and deft in their movements. They possess the art of disappearing swiftly and silently when large folk they do not wish to meet come blundering by; and this art they have developed until to most it may seem magical.
Pastoral Pleasantries
Halflings are an unbtrusive but very ancienct people. They love peace and quiet and good tilled earth: a well-ordered and well-farmed countryside is their favorite haunt. They do not understand or like machines more complicated than a forge-bellows, a water-mill, or a hand-loom, though they are skillful with tools.
Halfling Names
A halfling has a given name, a family name, and possibly a nickname. Family names are often nicknames that stuck so tenactiously that they have been passed down through generations.
Male Names: Alton, Ander, Bilbo, Cade, Eldon, Errich, Frodo, Lyle, Merric, Merry, Milo, Osborn, Peregrin, Perrin, Pippin, Reed, Roscoe, Samwise, Wellby
**Female Names:** Andry, Bree, Callie, Cora, Lavinia, Lidda, Merla, Nedda, Paela, Portia, Shaena, Trym, Vani, Verna
**Titles:** Baggins, Brandybuck, Brushgather, Goodbarrel, Hilltopple, Oldbuck, Sackville, Took, Tosscobble, Underbough
Halfling Traits
Your halfling character has a number of traits in common with all other halflings.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 2.
***Adventuring Age: 25 - 80.*** Halflings do not abandon their comfortable lives, but when they do, they usually wait until their coming of age at 33. But a particularly reckless Halfling might feel the call of adventure when in his tweens, as Hobbits call their twenties. Halflings generally pass early in their second century, remaining fairly healthy until the very end of their twilight years.
***Size.*** Hobbits are generally just slightly under three feet tall and weigh around 50 lbs. Your size is Small.
***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet.
***Lucky.*** When you roll a 1 on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll.
***Brave.*** You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.
***Elusive.*** You have proficiency in the Stealth skill.
***Halfling Nimbleness.*** You can move through the space of any creature who is at least one size larger than yours.
***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Halfling. The Halfling language isn't secret, but it is not often spoken outside of Hodge. They write very little, so they don't have a rich body of literature. Their oral tradition, on the other hand, is very strong. Almost all halflings speak Common to converse with the people in whose lands they dwell or through which they are traveling.
***Subraces.*** The three main kinds of halfling, lightfoot, strongheart, and ghostwise, are more like closely related families than true subraces. Choose one of these subraces.
Lightfoot
As a lightfoot halfling, you can easily hide from notice, even using other people as cover. You're inclined to be affable, and get along well with others.
Lightfoots are more prone to wanderlust than other halflings, especially when something gets them to wander in the first place.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 1.
***Naturally Stealthy.*** You can attempt to hide even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you.
Strongheart
As a strongheart halfling, you're hardier than average and have some resistance to poison. Some say that they have dwarven blood.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 1.
***Stout Resilience.*** You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.
Ghostwise
As a ghostwise halfling, you're more reserved than other halflings, but no less a lover of merrymaking. You're often more thoughtful and knowledgeable than most, capable of recalling various pieces of information.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.
***Lorekeeper.*** You have proficiency in the Lore skill and with calligrapher's supplies.
\page
Humans
"A day may come when the courage of men fails,when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight!"
— Aragorn, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
In the reckoning of the world, humans are the youngest of the races, late to arrive on the world scene and short-lived in comparison to dwarves, halflings, and dragons. Perhaps it is because of their shorter lives that they strive to achieve as much as they can in the years they are given. Or maybe they feel like they have something to prove, and that's why they build their mighty empires on the foundation of conquest and trade. Whatever drives them, humans are the innovators, the achievers, and the pioneers.
Variety in All Things
Humans are the most adaptable and ambitious people among the common races. They have widely varying tastes, morals, and customs in the many different lands where they settled. When they settle, though, they stay. An individual human might have a relatively short lifespan, but a human nation or culture preserves traditions with origins far beyond the reach of any single human's memory. They live fully in the present—making them well suited to the adventuring life—but also plan for the future, striving to leave a lasting legacy.
Lasting Institutions
While dwarf clans and firbolg elders pass on the ancient traditions to each new generation, human temples, governments, libraries, and coes of law fix their tradtitions in the bedrock of history. Humans dream of immortality, but they achieve it by ensuring that they will be remembered when they are gone.
Human Names and Ethnicities
Having so much more variety than other cultures, humans as a whole have no typical names. The material culture and physical characteristics of humans can change wildly from region to region.
In Rumenor, three human cultures are widely recognized.
Dalish
Male Names: Darvin, Dorn, Evendur, Gorstag, Grim, Helm, Malark, Morn, Randal, Stedd

The Dalish are of mixed complexions, ranging from shades of pale to copper hues to dark browns. Their hair, on the other hand, rarely strays far from shades of brown.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.
***Raised in the Wild.*** You have proficiency in the Survival skill.
***Starting Virtue.*** You may select on Dalish Cultural Virtue of your choice.
***Extra Language.*** You can speak, read, and write Dalish, a more archaic form of Common.

\page
Valnorians

Their complexions are usually light, which is in stark contrast to their often dark, sometimes black hair.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 1.
***Silver-Tongued.*** You have proficiency in the Persuasion and Deception skills.
***Starting Virtue.*** You may select on Valnorian Cultural Virtue of your choice.

Orc
"'Slash them! Beat them! Bite them! Gnash them! Take them away to dark holes full of snakes and never let them see the light again!' He was in such a rage that he jumped off his seat and himself rusged at Thorin with his mouth open."
—J.R.R Tolkien, *The Hobbit*
Now orcs are cruel, wicked, and bad-hearted. They make no beautiful things, but they makke many clever ones. They can tunnel as well as any but the most skilled dwarves, when they take the trouble, though they are usually untidy and dirty. Hammers, axes, swords, daggers, pickaxes, tongs, and also instruments of torture, they make very well, or get other people to make to their design, prisoners and slaves that have to work till they die for want of air and light.
Cull the Weak
Orcs have no respect for weakness. They will single out the weakest members of their fighting force, because removing these weak links strengthens the rest of the group. Soon after being born, an orc must be able to show that it will grow into a capable warrior, or else it will be removed in a brutal ceremony in which they cast the child off a cliff after beating it into unconsciousness.
Search, Destroy, Repeat
When a warband is on the move, orc warriors are commanded to scour the surrounding landscape for any opportunity to spill blood and bring glory to their race. Often, bands of warriors work on a rotation, with one group heading out on a raid just as another group returns, laden with severed heads, sacks of loot, and armfuls of food. Warriors also serve as scouts, bringing back detailed reports abou the surrounding area so that the commanding Uruk can plan where to send raiders next.
Orc Names
Orc names don't always have meaning in the Orc language nor do they denote gender, and most noteworthy orcs are given epithets by their peers.
Orc Names: Azog, Abzug, Bajok, Bolg, Bo'tch, Gorbag, Gorgol, Jahrukk, Mozu, Muzgash, O'tch, Ruhk, Shagrat Urzul, Uglúk
**Epithets:** Death Speark, Eye Grouger, Flesh Ripper, Spine Snapper, The Brutal, The Butcher, The Defiler
Orc Traits
Your orc character has a number of traits in common with other orc-kin.
***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2.
***Adventuring Age: 14 - 60.*** Forced to mature quickly, orcs often come of age as early as six, but aren't allowed to leave their stronghold until their early teens, after completely their training and rights of passage. They remain active well into their their late fifties, before becoming warchiefs in their final years.
***Size.*** Orcs are usually over 6 feet tall and weigh between 230 and 280 lbs. Your size is medium.
***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
***Low-Light Vision.*** Thanks to your orc blood, you have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, but you cannot see in the dark.

\page

Primal Paths
Rage burns in every barbarian's heart, a furnace that drives him or her towards greatness. Different barbarians attribute their rage to different sources, however.
Path of the Ancestral Guardian
Some barbarians, such as those in Dwarven culture, revere their ancestors. These barbarians are taught that the warriors of the past linger in the world as mighty spirits, who can guide and protect the living. When a barbarian who follows this path rages, the barbarian contacts the spirit world and calls on these guardian spirits for aid.
Barbarians who draw on their ancestral guardians can better fight to protect their allies. In order to cement ties to their ancestral guardians, barbarians who follow this path cover themselves in elaborate tattoos that celebrate their ancestor's deeds. These tattoos tell sagas of victories against terrible monsters and other fearsom rivals.
Ancestral Protectors
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, spectral warriors appear when you enter your rage. While you're raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the warriors, which hinder its attacks. Until the start of your next turn, the target has disadvantage on any attack roll that isn't against you, and when yhe target hits a creature other than you with an attack, that creature has resistance to the damage dealt by the attack. The effect on the target ends early if your rage ends.
Spirit Shield
Beginning at 6th level, the guardian spirits that aid you can provide supernatural protection for those you defend. If you are raging and another creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d6.
When you reach certain levels in this class, yo ucan reduce the damage by more: by 3d6 at 10th level and by 4d6 at 14th level,
Consult the Spirits
At 10th level, you gain the ability to consult with your ancestral spirits. When you do so, you case the augury or clairvoyance spell, without using a spell slot or material components. Rather than creating a spherical sensor, this use of clairvoyance invisibly summons one of your ancestral spirits to the chosen location. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
After you cast either spell in this way, you can't use tis feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
Vengeful Ancestors
At 14th level, your ancestral spirits grow powerful enough to retaliate. When you use your Spirit Shield to reduce the damage of an attack, the attacker takes an amount of force damage equal to the damage that your Spirit Shield prevents.
\page
Path of the Berserker
For some barbarians, rage is a means to an end—that end being violence. The Path of the Berserker is a path of untrammeled fury, slick with blood. As you enter the berserker's rage, you thrill in the chaos of battle, heedless of your own health or well-being.
Frenzy
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can go into a frenzy when you rage. If you do so, for the duration of your rage you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action on each of your turns after this one. When your rage ends, you suffer one level of exhaustion.
Mindless Rage
Beginning at 6th level, you can't be charmed or frightened while raging. If you are charmed or frightened when you enter your rage, the effect is suspended for the duration of the rage.
Intimidating Presence
Beginning at 10th level, you can use your action to frighten someone with your menacing presence. When you do so, choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. On subsequent turns, you can use your action to extend the duration of this effect on the frightened creature until the end of your next turn. This effect ends if creature ends its turn out of line of sight or mor than 60 feet away from you.
If the creature succeeds on its saving throw, you can't use this feature on that creature again for 24 hours.
Retaliation
Starting at 14th level, when you take damage from a creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature.
Path of the Totem Warrior
The Path of the Totem Warrior is a spiritual journey, as the barbarian accepts the spirit animal as guide, protector, and inspiration. In battle, your toem spirit fills you with supernatural might, adding magical fuel to your barbarian rage.
Most barbarian tribes consider a totem animal to be kin to a particular clan. In such cases, it is unusual for an individual to have more than one totem animal spirit, though exceptions exist.
Spirit Seeker
Yours is a path that seeks attunement with the natural world, giving you a kinship with beasts. At 3rd level when you adopt this path, you gain the ability to cast the beast sense and speak with animals spells, but only as rituals.
Totem Spirit
At 3rd level, when you adopt this path, you choose a totem spirit and gain its feature. You must make or acquire a physical totem object—an amulet or similar adornment—that incorporates fur or feathers, claws, teeth, or bones of the totem animal. At your option, you also gain minor physical attributes that are reminiscent of your totem spirit. For example, if you have a bear totem spirit, you might be unusually hair and thick skinned, or if your totem is the eagle, your eyes turn bright yellow.
Your totem animal might be an animal related to those listed here but more appropriate to your homeland. For example, you could choose a hawk or vulture in place of an eagle.
Bear. While raging, you have resistance to all damage except psychic damage. The spirit of the bear makes your tough tnough to stand up to any punishment.
Eagle. While you're raging and aren't wearing heavy armor, other creatures have disadvantage on opportunity attack rolls against you, and you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn. The spirit of the eagle makes you into a predator who can weave through the fray with ease.
Wolf. While you're raging, your friends have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature within 5 feet of you that is hostile to you. The spirit of the wolf makes you a leader of hunters.
Aspect of the Beast
At 6th level, you gain a magical benefit based on the totem animal of your choice. You can choose the same animal you selevted at 3rd level or a different one.
Bear. You gain the might of a bear. Your carrying capacity (including maximum load and maximum lift) is doubled, and you have advantage on Strength checks made to push, pull, lift, or break objects.
Eagle. You gain the eyesight of an eagle. You can see up to 1 mile away with no difficulty, able to discern even fine details as though looking at something no more than 100 feet away from you. Additionally, dim light doesn't impose disadvantage on your Wisdom (Perception) checks.
Wolf. You gain the huntin sensibilities of a wolf. You can track other creature while traveling at a fast pace, and you can move stealthily while traveling at normal pace.
Spirit Walker
At 10th level, you can cast the commune with nature spell, but only as a ritual. When you do so, a spiritual version of one of the animals you chose for Totem Spirit or Aspect of the Beast appears to you to conver the information you seek.
\page
Totemic Attunement
At 14th level, you gain a magical benefit based on a totem animal of your choice. You can choose the same animal you selected previously or a different one.
Bear. While you're raging, any creature within 5 feet of you that's hostile to you has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you or another character with this feature. An enemy is immune to this effect if it can't see or hear you or if it can't be frightened.
Eagle. While raging, you have a flying speed equal to your current walking speed. This benefit works only in short bursts; you fall if you end your turn in the air and nothing else is holding you aloft.

Gunslinger
Most warriors and combat specialists spend their years perfecting the classic arts of swordplay, archery, or polearm tactics. Whether duelist or infantry, martial weapons were seemingly perfected long ago, and the true challenge is to master them.
However, some minds couldn't stop with the innovation of the crossbow. Experimentation with alchemical components and rare metals have unlocked the secrets of controlled explosive force. The few who survive these trials of ingenuity may become the first to create, and deftly wield, the first firearms.
This archetype focuses on the ability to design, craft, and utilzie powerful, yet dangerous ranged weapons. Through creative innovation and immaculate aim, you become a distant force of death on the battlefield. However, not bein a perfect science, firearms carry an inherent instability that can occasionally leave you without a functional means of attack. This is the danger of new, untested technologies.

Killing blow with a firearm. Each time you reduce a dangerous creature significant threat (DM's discretion) to 0 hit points with a firearm attack, and kill them, you regain 1 spent Grit point.
You also regain all spent grit points after finishing a short or long rest.

If the attack hits, you make an attack roll against every creature in a line directly behind the target within your first range increment. Only the initial attack can misfire.
Vicious Intent
At 18th level, your firearms attack score a critical hit on a roll of 19-20.
Hemorrhaging Critical
Upon reaching 18th level, whenever you score a critical hit on an attack with a firearm, the target suffers half othe damage from the attack at the end of its next turn.
Ammunition
All firearms require ammunition to make an attack, and due to their uncommon nature, ammunition may be difficult to find and near impossible to purchase. However, if materials are gathered, you can craft ammunition yourself using your tinker's tools (cost and time are DM's discretion). Each firearm uses its own unique ammunition.
Firearm Properties
Firearms are new and volatile technology, and as such bring their own unique set of weapon properties. Some properties are followed by a number, and this number signifies an element of that property (outlined below). Firearms are ranged weapons.
Reload. The weapon can be fired a number of times equal to its Reload score before you must spend 1 action to reload. You must have one free hand to reload a firearm.
Misfire. Whenever you make an attack roll with a firearm, and the dice roll is equal to or lower than the weapon's Misfire score, the weapon misfires. The attack misses, and the weapon cannot be used again until you spend an action to try and repair it. To repair your firearm, you must make a successful Tinker's Tools check (DC equal to 8 + misfire score). If your check fails, the weapon is broken and must be repaired out of combat at half the cost of the firearm.
Scatter. An attack is made against each creature within a 30 foot cone. These attacks are simultaneous. If an affected creature is adjacent to you, they suffer double damage on a hit. This attack cannot be affected by any of your shot features.
Explosive. Upon a hit, everything within 5 feet of the target must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier) or suffer 1d8 fire damage. If the weapon misses, the ammunition fails to detonate, or bounces away harmlessly before doing so.

Ravens of the Mountain
You have befriended a raven of the ancient breed living around the Coldpeak Mountains. Long-lived and able to speak the Common tongue, these birds are often wise companions, bound to your kin by ties of old friendship.
Many times in the past, they have provided invaluable help by gathering news or sending messages by your folk. Wherever you are, your raven friend is never far away. You can sound a call and summon to your presence in a matter of minutes. As soon as he joins you, you may command him.
Usually the raven is eager to please you, but an unusual or less than reasonable request might put their faithfulness to the test and require a DC 15 Charisma (Persuasion) ability check. The raven does not ask for anything in return, but repeated requests over a short time might sooner or later elad it to feel entitled to compensation (its precise terms are up to the DM, and might lead to interesting story developments).
The time needed for a raven to complete the errand depends on the request, on the distance to be covered, and on the complexity of the assignment. A raven flies at an average speed of 30 miles per hour. The following list shows some of the possible errands you can assign to your winged ally, but should in no way limit your inventiveness.
**Bring Tidings.** A raven is always well informed about the latest events concerning the wild and is eager to report them.
**Carry Message.** The raven can deliver messages anywhere in the region, passing its content to others of his kin.
**Investigate.** The raven can be sent to gather information on a specific subject. It must be something naturally accessible to one of its kind.
**Carry Food.** A raven might be persuaded to carry some food if able to steal or borrow it from a location within a day's flight.
Runecraft
You have been taught some long-remembered fragments of old spells that retain power to this day. Some require you to cut or engrave a runic inscription, usually in stone or metal, or sometimes carved in wood. You can learn a total of three such spells: Secrecy, Prohibition and Exclusion, and Opening and Shutting.
You learn one spell when you first select this virtue, and you may learn a new one whenever you take this feat again.
\page
**Spells of Opening and Shutting.** This fragment must be recited in front of a door orgate, to magically lock it, or recited backwards to open it if locked. The spell has no effect on a door that has been blocked by magic and now requires a particular word to open it. Attempts to break down the door have their DC increased by 10. The spell starts working as soon as you have finished reciting it.
**Spells of Prohibition and Exclusion.** This runic inscription is usually placed on gates and on doors, to protect an area from unwanted visitors. You may carve these signs on a rock or on the bark of a tree within the perimeter of your camp, and their power will wake you at the first sign of danger. Carve the runes and go to sleep. You will immediately awaken in any threatening presence approaches within 30 feet of your camp.
**Spell of Secrecy** Carve these runes on a concealed door, personal hiding place, or object, and it will be noticed only if someone searches for it with great care. These signs are invisible to the untrained eye as long as the power within them is still working; they can only be seen and read when the spell is spent or broken.
The object concealed by the spell can only be found on a DC 30 Intelligence (Investigation) ability check, unless the searcher is a Dwarf, in which case the DC is 15.

You know how to exploit corners, darkness, and other natural obstacles to your advantage.When fighting underground, you gain a +1 bonus to your Armor class and Dexterity saving throws.

You're not sure how you do it; you just wish it and it happens. Surely a sign of fortune's favor!When an ally you can see within 30 feet of you rolls a 1 on a d20 for an attack roll, can ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to let the ally re-roll the die. The ally must use the new roll.
When you use this ability, you can't use your Lucky racial trait before the end of your next turn.
### Brave at a Pinch A wise man once said that you have to put a Halfling in a tight place before you find out what is in them (the problem being that they try their best to avoid tight places...).You may take an action and spend a Hit Die to martial your spirit for a fight. For the length of the following combat, you are immune to the Frightened condition, and are unaffected by the penalties derived from any exhaustion levels that you may have. You must take a long rest before you can use this ability again.

When you are being attacked in melee combat by a creature that is bigger than you (very often), you can take a reaction to step into the same square as your opponent. You have advantage on your attack rolls against that opponent, until your opponent chooses to take a step back to attack you (which will provoke an opportunity attack). ## Firbolg ### Dreams of Elder Days You have learned to recover from your extertion even while engaging in a repetitive task, like walking or rowing a boat. When engaged in such a task, you may spend hit dice to heal the same ways as a short rest. ### Healer You are an able physician, allowing you to mend wounds quickly and get your allies back up and moving.

The creature can't regain hit points from this feat again until it finishes a short or long rest. \page ### The Speakers You have learned how to engage in simple communication with almost everything in nature, from living beings to grass, sotne, and water. This means, for example, that you can hear muttering from the stones in a path if other trod it recently.To use this gift, you must make an appropriate ability check. Which skill you use depends on what you are trying to do and is at the DM's discretion. As an example, to interpret the grumblings of stones in a path requires an Intelligence (Investigation) ability check, or listening to the voice of a river requires a Wisdom (Insight) ability check.
Most objects are of limited, if any, sentience and can seldom provide exacting details, especially since they seldom pay much attention to things that don't direcly concern them.

They are as follows: ***Defining statement.*** Not a memory per se. This is one, maybe two, sentences that define your character in a nutshell. (You can use "Who is my Fucking #D&D Character" for examples of this, though I don't suggest actually using your results.) ***Class (1).*** I would like one memory pertaining as to how you became the class you are. This could be anything from pressured by your family to wanting to have enlisted in the military. If you have any lore-based questions, feel free toask. ***Family (2).*** I want you to create two memories pertaining to family members. As close as sibling to as distant as cousins. Maybe your sister inspired you to be who you are today, or perhaps your nosy cousins are always getting into your business. ***Any Party Relations (1).*** *This is optional.* Do you know any other member of the party? If so, how? Are you family, friends, enemies? Did you cross glances one time at a birthday party and only vaguely remember their face? ***Interesting Facts (3).*** I would like at least one interesting fact about you. Do you ride horses? Perhaps you study history in your free time? Do you have 6 toes on one foot and 8 on the other? ## Backgrounds Your memories are great for deciding who your character is. In fact, you can leave it there if you'd like and we can work on what kind of personality traits, boons, features equipment you might get as a result. That being said, feel free to choose a background to further flesh out your character. ### Charlatan ### City Watch ### Clan Crafter ### Cloistered Scholar ### Courtier ### Criminal ### Entertainer ### Guild Artisan ### Hermit ### Inheritor ### Ionad Noble ### Mercenary Veteran ### Noble ### Outlander ### Sage ### Sailor ### Soldier ### Urchin \page Simply due to running short on time, I am unable to add backgrounds to this guide. For the time being, you may select from the PHB backgrounds, with the exceptions of Acolyte and Folk Hero. I will work on getting them in here in the following week or so with any necessary adjustments. In addition, as you come across them make the following changes: - Convert gp to sp, sp to tp (or to an equivalent in cp). - Replace Arcana with Lore, and Religion with Traditions. - Wizards, Druids, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Paladins, Clerics, Fey, fiends and angels don't exist (unless otherwise stated by me). Any part of a background relating to these is to be ignored, as if it wasn't an option. - Evil bonds are off-limits. - TO ANYONE PLAYING AN ORC: I strongly recommend looking at Volo's guide for the orc background information. There is some lore that changes some information (for example, Orcs have a small kingdom in the mountains near Graydon hill, rather than separate tribes), but I can address them before we begin play. \page # Equipment ## Starting Equipment For this campaign, you'll be buying your own gear. Unlike the PHB standard, your wealth is based on your cultural background (your Race), rather than your class. ##### Starting Wealth by Race |Race|Funds| |:---|----:| | Dwarf | 5d4 x 10 sp | | Firbolg | 5d4 sp | | Halfling | 3d4 x 10 sp | | *Human* | | | Men of Ard | 3d4 x 10 sp | | Dalish | 3d4 x 10 sp | | Valnorian | 5d4 x 10 sp | | Orc | 2d4 x 10 sp | ## Wealth Wealth appears in many forms in Rumenor. Coins, gemstones, trade goods, art objects, animals, and property can reflect your character's financial weel being. Members of the peasantry trade in goods, bartering for what they need and paying taxes in grain and cheese. Members of the nobility trade in either legal rights, such as the rights to a mine, a port, or farmland, or in gold bars, measuring gold by pound rather than by the coin. Only merchants, travelers, and those offering professional services for hire commonly deal in coins. ### Coinage Common coins come in several different denominations based on the relative worth fo the metal from thich they are made. The most common coins are silver pieces (sp); divisions of silver, the tenpiece (tp) and halfpiece (hp), which are based on fractions of the weight of a whole silver coin.; and copper pieces (cp). One silver piece is worth 100 copper pieces, 10 tenpieces, and 2 halfpieces. A tenpiece buys a laborer's work for a day, a flask of lamp oil, or a night's rest in a poor inn. In addition, unusual coins made of other precious metals sometimes appear. The gold piece (gp) and electrum piece (ep) are generally considered as figurative amounts rather than actual coin however, and using them in trade may arrouse suspicion or skepiticism. A gold piece is worth 10 silver pieces or 1,000 copper pieces. An electrum piece is worth 5 silver pieces or 500 copper pieces. A standard coin weighs about a third of an ounce, so fifty coins weigh a pound—with the exception of halfpieces and tenpieces, which weight half has much or a tenth as much of a standard coin, respectively. Additionally, various civilizations refer to different coins with different terminologies. For instance, dwarves refer to a copper piece as a copper and a silver piece as a silver, whereas a Valnorian would refer to them as a rude or a light, respectively. ##### Exchange Rate | Coin | cp | tp | hp | sp | ep | gp | |---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Copper (cp) | 1 | 1/10 | 1/50 | 1/100 | 1/500 | 1/1000| | Tenpiece (tp) | 10 | 1 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 1/50 | 1/100 | | Halfpiece (hp) | 50 | 5 | 1 | 1/2 | 1/10 | 1/20 | | Silver (sp) | 100 | 10 | 2 | 1 | 1/5 | 1/10 | | Electrum (ep) | 500| 50| 10 | 5 | 1 | 1/2 | Gold (gp) | 1,000 | 100 | 20 | 10 | 2 | 1 | ##### Terminology | Coin/Dwarven | Arduin | Dales | Valnor | |---:|---:|---:|---:| | Copper | Pigface | Luck | Rude | | Tenpiece | Jackface | Ping | Light | | Halfpiece | Queenface | Sheb | Count | | Silver | Kingface | Fen | Glimmer | | Electrum | — | — | Spill | | Gold | — | — | Purse | ### Selling Treasure Generally, merchants are willing to buy just about anything as long as it's still in good condition, as long as it's within their realm of merchandising. ***Arms, Armor, and Other Equipment.*** As a general rule, undamage weapons, armor, and other equipment fetch half their cost when sold in a market. Weapons and armor used by bandits and monsters are rarely in good enough condition to sell. ***Gems, Jewelry, and Art Objects.*** These items retain their full value in the marketplace, and you can either trade them in for coin or use them as currency for other transactions. For exceptionally valuable treasures, the DM might require you to find a buyer in a large town or larger community first. ***Trade Goods.*** Generally, most people are willing to conduct transactions through barter. Like gems and art objects, trade goods—bars of iron, bags of salt, livestock, and so on—retain their full value in the market and can be used as currency. \page ## GearLeather Jerkin

Tower shields remove the ability to make the Dash action, but they can be planted in the ground, creating 3/4 cover. Tower shields can only be used by size Medium or larger warriors.
#### New Weapon***Mattock.*** A mattock is a heavy digging implement, sporting a flat, hammer head on one side an a spade-like "blade" on the other. Dwarves, daewar and duergar alike, choose to wield their mattocks in battle to fearsome effect.
***Firearms.*** Though some might know the secrets of gunsmithing, only dwarves readily produce firearms and they're loathe to sell them off. Being a relatively new creation, they are prone to mishaps, but there's very little competition in terms of weaponry. #### Mastercrafted Weapons and Armor Throughout Rumenor there exist talented smiths, capable of crafting weapons or armor that are a cut-above the norm. A warrior that wishes to acquire of mastercrafted gear must find a talented enough smith to craft it for them, and willing to pay the increased price. A mastercrafted weapon costs a base of 20 silver x the bonus value + 3x the listed price of the desired weapon. A suit of mastercrafted armor costs 50 silver x the bonus value + 2x the listed price. *For example, a longsword normally costs 40 silver. If you want a mastercrafted longsword, it's an additional 20 silver per bonus value. Thus, a +1 mastercrafted longsword costs 140 silver (or the equivalent of 14 gold).* A human mastercraft weapon adds a +1 bonus to all attack and damage rolls made with it, while a suit of human mastercraft armor grants a +1 bonus to AC while equipped. Only dwarves are capable of making anything superior. Dwarf-forged mastercraft armor as an added +1 bonus to Armor Class (AC), in addition to the effect of human mastercrafted armor; and dwarf-forged mastercraft weapons have a +2 bonus as opposed to +1. \pageClub

It is measured in livestock, grain, land, rights to collect taxes, or rights to resources (such as a mine or forest). Guilds, nobles, and royalty regulate trade. Chartered companies are granted rights to conduct trade along certain routes, to send merchant ships to various ports, or to buy or sell specific goods. Guilds set prices for the goods or services that they control, and determine who may or may not offer those goods and services. Merchants commonly exchange trade goods without using currency. The Trade Goods table shows the value of commonly exhanged goods. ``` ``` ##### Trade Goods | Cost | Goods | |---- :|:------| | 1 cp | 1 lb. of wheat | | 2 cp | 1 lb. of flour or one chicked | | 5 cp | 1 lb. of salt| | 10 cp | 1 lb. of iron or 1 sq. yd. of canvas | | 50 cp | 1 lb. copper or 1 sq. yd. of cotton cloth | | 1 sp | 1 lb. of ginger or one goat | | 2 sp | 1 lb. of cinnamon or pepper, or one sheep | | 3 sp | 1 lb. of cloves or one pig | | 50 sp | 1 lb. pf silver or 1 sq. yd. of linen| | 10 sp | 1 lb. sq. yd. of silk or one cow | | 15 sp | 1 lb. of saffron or one ox | | 500 sp | 1 lb. gold | ## Expenses ##### Food, Drink, and Lodging | Item | Cost | |:-----|-----:| | *Ale* | | | Gallon | 20 cp | | Mug | 4 cp | | Banquet | 10 sp | | Bread, loaf | 2 cp | | Cheese, hunk | 10 cp | | *Inn Stay (per day)* | | | Squalid | 7 cp | | Poor | 10 cp | | Modest | 50 cp | | Comfortable | 80 cp | | Wealthy | 2 sp | | Aristocratic | 4 sp | | *Meals (per day)* | | | Squalid | 3 cp | | Poor | 6 cp | | Modest | 30 cp | | Comfortable | 50 cp | | Wealthy | 80 cp | | Aristocratic | 2 sp | | Meat, chunk | 30 cp | | *Wine* | | | Common (pitcher) | 20 cp | | Fine (bottle) | 10 sp | \page ##### Services | Item | Cost | |:-----|:-----| | *Coach Cab* | | | Between towns | 3 cp per mile | | Within a city | 1 cp | |*Hireling*| | | Skilled | 2 sp per day | | Untrained | 20 cp per day | | Messenger | 2 cp per mile | | Road or gate toll | 1 cp | | Ship's passage | 1 sp per mile | \page # Factions ## Black Pheonix Mercenary Co. ## Conclave of Druids ## Merchants' Alliance ## Sentinals ## Thieves' GuildThank you so much, that seems to have fixed it.
I am having this same issue. Placing a ' at the end does not fix it, however. Also, the brew doesn't auto save-now, as it used it.
