I am curious what house rules people play with when the game. This is mostly aimed at the 5E crowd but I am still curious what changes people think are so necessary there are House rules added for them.


In 5E we always played with Drinking a Potion was a bonus action if you had it ‘on your belt’. Meaning everyone would have one potion they picked to be in a ‘ready’ state.

In 13th Age we allow a Potion to be drunk as a Quick Action if the player makes an Easy Save, on a fail they have to roll the save again on their next Quick Action.

In 5E we basically ignored Encumbrance and just made a judgement call is something was ‘too much’. (13th Age already does this in the rules)

    It depends on how tightly the system is designed. Pathfinder 2e players consider it blasphemy to houserule the way 5e players do, but the system is extremely well balanced so houserules aren’t really needed. In 5e there are so many holes in the system that basically every DM has to fill in the gaps to some extent.
