* Refer to [[User:BenjaminSage#House_Rules|BenjaminSage's house rules]], especially [[Sage's Hackmaster House Rules]]. A lot Some of the 3.5 rules will also apply under Hackmaster as well (especially the section on The Planes, this is the Planescape setting after all).* I reserve the right to change the rules basically whenever, but I promise it will be for good reasons, and to account properly for any changes this makes to the mechanical operation of anyone's character.
