 ====== What is Five Torches Deep? ======
+Five Torches Deep (FTD) strips 5e to its
+skeleton and fleshes it out with OSR elements.
+The goal is to provide an old-school
+experience to those familiar with 5e. It’s
+self-contained and playable as is, assuming
+familiarity with fantasy rpgs.
+  * Core mechanics based on 5e
+  * Four OSR-related classes
+  * Four OSR-common races
+  * Race and class restrictions
+  * STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA
+  * Ascending AC
+  * Rolled abilities and HP
+  * Skills reduced and simplified
+  * Magic system re-tooled, flattened
+  * Spells can cause magical mishaps
+  * Semi-compatible with 5e math
+  * Semi-compatible with B/X math
+  * Load and encumbrance
+  * Incorporates dis/advantage
+  * Slower and weaker rest and healing
+  * Equipment can be broken
+  * Ability scores determine limits
+  * Retainers, morale, and reactions
+===== Our Discoveries =====
+Dave and Andrew are discovering new and interesting tidbits about this ruleset. These factoids are stored here.
   * Because every spell risks failure, spellcasters can cast as often as they have components for
   * Certain spell failures keep the spellcaster from casting again until a rest
   * Limited races and class choices
+  * Wands are codified spells and can be cast multiple times, even by non-spellcasting PCs. Wands must be identified before use, and generally require attunement. Wands use CHA for checks and damage.
