Basically, here are the takeaways:
- Remove the strength bonuses table entirely
- Allow the Holmes point swaps for prime-requisite ability scores
- Have players note equipment location on their character sheet
- Fighters do not get multiple attacks on 1HD foes
- Clerics do not get a bonus spell for high wisdom
- M-Us can use daggers only
- Scroll creation rules for M-Us – one week/100gp per level of spell
- Add the additional Holmes spells noted above to the M-U and Cleric spell lists
- Use descending AC
- Use the optional five categories of saving throws
- No ring mail
- Bows fire once per round
- Thrown oil that hits a foe and is subsequently set alight does 1d8 damage for two rounds
- A weapon will be broken and no damage taken if that weapon is used to parry and the to-hit toll is exactly what was needed
- Use the “Blue book method” of combat from the S&W Core rules
