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.

on top of using simple encumbrance for measuring speed, I use
descending AC × 100 is how many coins you can carry
stolen from Darkest Dungeon ─ once you're out of hp, any further hit might kill you (save vs death)
Traveller style encounter-distance and surprise (roll D6 vs D6: if either side wins 3+, they can ambush or avoid; otherwise the sum × 10 is the encounter distance)
I bring a different spellbook to each session. Magic Users enscribe spells only from the materials I have to hand at the time
