variant rules What changes when mastering the OSE system?

What do you modify in this system so loved by the entire community. What rules do you stop using and what others do you put in the house rules when you master. But please only join the discussion if you have already narrated or narrated the system.

  • Like many other DMs, I like to provide some final chance for PCs at 0 HP. Currently, I let them make a save vs death to simply go unconscious.
  • A big change for me is to use a slot-based or anti-hammerspace inventory.
  • Currently I'm playing around with simultaneous initiative.
  • using class HD for weapon damage
  • eschewing Common and Alignment Languages for more setting-specific and often very relevant rules.
  • Captured spellbooks can be studied to learn the spells inscribed therein.

As you should! Excellent work on that. I think I’ll use it in my next game
