 ++ Why this rule? | This makes spell casters more streamline with casting spells. Though Spells that do not consume the item but rather require an item with gold value as the tool (Such as Identify requiring an item worth 100 Gold but does not consume it) I like to flavour that the gold is transformed into the tool. the player looses the gold but gains an item worth the amount for use with that spell. ++ ++ Why this rule? | This makes spell casters more streamline with casting spells.

 Your characters gain a bonus feat as part of your background, this replaces the Background feature you would normally get. It cannot be an Abilities Score improvement and should relate to your background in someway.

-after three sources of a damage type roll a save, suffer an additional effect on a fail+The idea behind this rule is to make different flavours of damage actually do different things. Making elemental and different damage types more interesting. Its Also designed to encourage teamwork more as talking with allies about stacking the required sources of damage to trigger a depuff .
  
-whats the DC? the damage taken from the triggering hit? a flat amount?+**How it Works** \\ 
 +Friend or Foe, if they suffer three (3) instances of damage of the same type (Slashing, Fire etc) __in a row__ then the creature must make a constitution saving through (DC = 10*) if they fail, they suffer a debuf related to the triggering damage type. 
 +  ***In a Row?:** Yes in a row, this means if friend or foe is hit with a __DIFFRENT type of damage__ than the damage its already stacked with, the counter resets. (Example, Foe has been hit by two fire attacks, so has 2 stacks of fire, if they are then hit by a lightning attack they loose the stacks of fire and rest back to 1 lightning stack.) 
 +  ***Wait! What about attacks that deal multiple types of damage?:** Good question, The stack gained from an attack that deals multiple types of damage <del>it will be the highest source of type damage</del> can be chosen by the creature dealing the damage. (A Flaming sword does 7 slashing damage and 4 fire damage, The attacker can choose weather to apply a stack of fire OR a stack of slashing) 
 +  ***Resistance and Weakness?:** If a creature is resistant or immune to a particular damage type then they cannot suffer the debuffs related to that particular damage type. If a creature is weak to a particular damage type they have disadvantage on the Constitution Saving throw when a debuff is applied.
