Max's Standard Homebrew

Ability Scores
The only two acceptable methods of generating ability scores are Standard Array or Point Buy.

Equipment
I highly encourage characters to Roll for Starting Wealth while taking any additional items their background may supply, however, starting equipment is also permitted.

Variant: Encumbrance
The rules for lifting and carrying are intentionally simple. Here is a variant if you are looking for more detailed rules for determining how a character is hindered by the weight of equipment. When you use this variant, ignore the Strength column of the Armor table. If you carry weight in excess of 5 times your Strength score, you are encumbered, which means your speed drops by 10 feet. If you carry weight in excess of 10 times your Strength score, up to your maximum carrying capacity, you are instead heavily encumbered, which means your speed drops by 20 feet and you have disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws that use Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution.
