** As such, [[Backgrounds]] only provide proficiency in two [[Skills]]. | |||
* Rules for sound and hearing is not implemented and NPCs may only detect what they see. If you [[Hide|hide]] while not in a creature's sight cone, you automatically succeed. If you try to hide while in a creature's sight cone, you automatically fail. If you are hidden and enter a creature's sight cone, you must roll stealth against the creature's passive perception. This may be a straight roll, [[Advantage|advantage]], or [[Disadvantage|disadvantage]], based on the creature's senses and the level of lighting. Some creatures with different senses such as blindsight may follow different rules. | * Rules for sound and hearing is not implemented and NPCs may only detect what they see.

* There is an [[Inspiration|inspiration]] system. As a party you can have up to 4 inspiration dice which can be applied to a failed skill check. The way you gain dice is based on the [[Backgrounds|background]] of you and your companions. If for example you or one of your companions have the Charlatan background, they may gain an inspiration die for your party if they deceive their way into a fortified enemy position. | * There is an [[Inspiration|inspiration]] system.

* [[Revivify]] is ranged, has no material component of 300 gold for it to work, can be casted by anyone without the need to pass a DC check 13 (if they aren't a Cleric) for it to work and you can also reposition the target to a new location on revival (click target you want to revive then click a location you can see). Revivify works fine regardless how damaged, burned, mutilated the body is and if the body went missing (such as falling into a Chasm) a blue flame/soul appears in its place that can be used to revive the target back to life. Only works on playable characters therefore cannot be used to revive NPCs. | * [[Revivify]] is ranged, has no material component of 300 gold for it to work, can be casted by anyone without the need to pass a DC check 13 (if they aren't a Cleric) for it to work and you can also reposition the target to a new location on revival (click target you want to revive then click a location you can see).
