Assorted Houserules

Death effects and abilities like Breath Of Life

Change

These abilities can now save a character from a death effect, but need to successfully counteract to work. the triggering death effect (Normal rules for determining the rank apply)

Reason

Death effects are rare, abilites that stop a character from dying are equally rare, and always cost not-insignificant resources. This change allows a final glimmer of hope for an otherwise dead character.

Casters and Spellslots

Change

all casters increase their spells per rank by 1, meaning a default of 3, and increase to 4, or for Oracle or Sorcerer, 4 then 5.

this increase also applies to spell Repoitoirs, bringing them up to match this increase.

this does not affect anything else that gives you spells.

Reason

Casters were overly nerfed, while going through and fixing every spell that needs it might be a better solution, this is far easier.
