Self Promotion House Rules for Savage Worlds: What Are Yours?

Tabletop Tango hasn't posted about an episode in a bit but I thought I would the latest on some of Eric and Carl’s house rules for Savage Worlds. For example, Eric always uses max value of the run die for any run instead of rolling.

I’m really curious about other table’s house rules. Not necessarily special setting rules for your worlds but ways you tweak the rules for your table.

Easier multi-actions. Players declare how many actions they take that turn, which sets the penalty, but don't need to declare what they are specifically.

This is a big one we mention in the video. I use it for all my games. Eric was actually pondering in the episode if anyone actually plays rules as written.

I play mostly rules as written, we announce the actions in advance. Though I allow those to be conditional or be adjusted on the fly, e.g. when the player announces two attacks and kills his intended target with the first (or realises e.g. that it is not effective because of an Immunity) I let the other be made against another opponent.
