are so beloved is that they are flexible enough to be Homebrew Multiclassing

Races With Fly Speed
Racial fly speeds are a pet peeve of Celia’s, because at
low levels, a flying character can circumvent obstacles,
get into places they aren’t meant to, and basically cheat

ranged combatants (which don’t always make sense to
include in every encounter). Alternatively, we allow Tiny creatures to wield normally

 Pets and the Rule of Three
People like pets. They just do. So to give my players a
bit of fun, and enable the ever foolhardy choice of every
DnD party ever to adopt that weirdly named goblin that
is just trying so hard, We have what Celia calls the “Rule
of Three:”

If a Creature critically fails to attack a Character three

times in a row, or critically fails a saving throw against
three charm effects in a row, the triggering character
can make an skill check (usually animal handling, but
sometimes diplomacy for more intelligent creatures) to
befriend the creature, claiming it as their companion.

Now, it’s worth noting that a companion isn’t under the

direct control of the player, and often isn’t much use in
combat - either having severely reduced stats, or being
too cowardly to engage in fighting - but you still get to
bring it home, and love it forever.

Curses and Remove Curse

The last change We make to spellcasting is to curses,
and the Remove Curse spell. By core rules, all
curses are treated the same, and thus all curses can
theoretically be removed by a 3rd level spell. Quite
frankly, that’s bullshit, and we have never met a DM who
didn’t alter those rules in some way, or make specific
exceptions for things like vampirism, lycathropy, and
other bloodline or plot-relevant curses that never would
have survived in a world where a 5th level cleric could
just travel the country undoing centuries old curses and
curing entire populations of afflicted monsters.

Our rule is simple: Curses have levels, just like spells,

and Remove Curse just follows the same rules for
dealing with different levels of curses that Dispel Magic
does for spells. The level of any specific curse depends
on how difficult we think it should be to remove, or on
the level it was cast at, in the case of Bestow Curse.

Ancient bloodline curses and the like are often set as

10th level or higher, making it impossible to remove
them without using group spellcasting.
