    Lost: One set of house rules

    The HDD on my laptop melted about a week ago taking with it my set of houserules. I did post them on these forums but after 2 hours of my best efforts I cant find them at all. They were originally posted on the rules forums and moved to this forum. Can anyone provide me a link to the thread ...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Point Buy

    Erm, Stuck at work without my DMG, can anyone let me know what the cost of attributes under a normal 3.5 point buy is. Im also taking suggestions on stats for a 32point buy human paladin. Majere

    Alternate penalty for raise dead? Instead of level loss?

    Actually we houseruled this along time ago in our group. When you are raised via raise dead or ressurection you lose 500xp*(level). We did this because we noticed that there is a massive unfairness in the penalty to character whoare maybe only 100xp from there level compared to character who...

    What's a "unique being" for purposes of Gate?

    The RAW are a little contradictory. I would go with the following interpretation. If you want a random individual or a reace/creature they get no save. Eg. A Balor If you want a specific individual they get a save and can leave at will. If the players complain point this out to them. If you...

    the Hide skill - how do you beat it?

    "To determine whether your target has cover from your ranged attack, choose a corner of your square. If any line from this corner to any corner of the target’s square passes through a square or border that blocks line of effect or provides cover, or through a square occupied by a creature, the...

    the Hide skill - how do you beat it?

    According the RAW this is wrong There arent any rules as written for objects like arrow slits. Squares either provide cover and concealment, or they dont. If they do then it applies bothways as the same line of sight applies to both parties. This is because there are no written rules for...

    the Hide skill - how do you beat it?

    Flat footed is just that. Its a guard standing about bored out of his brains, finger up his bum, making a shopping list n his head. Its someone who is not expecting immediate immanent dainger. Once you start firing arrows at him he is no longer flat footed, he is moving, duck, diving, weavng...

    the Hide skill - how do you beat it?

    The players actions are within the rules, but why are you giving him sneak attack damage. Unless the opponent is flatfooted the rouge shouldnt get any SA damage on his attack. Wrong. While the chaacter may "lean around" to see what is going on, he cannot fire unless he has a line of sight from...

    Common new DM mistakes list...

    IMPORTANT Note. Dragons dont actually get any slots other than possibly a brow slot and an amulet slot. So the dragon couldnt have worn any of its loot. Part of the balancing of nonhumanoid creatures is that they physically cannot wear large amounts of magical items. If you start equipping...

    Putting "Vorpal" on a bow

    Number one mistake He is giving up nothing Archers are the epitomy of min max because you can enchant both bow and arrow. So with an arcane archer build (to make every arrow a +5 arrow) you an have a: Vorpal,Seeking,Speed +1 bow with Flaming,Icy,Acidic,Thundering,Shock,Holy,Axiomic +1 arrows...

    Monstrous Druid AC...

    Say ok : 1) I naughty word hate Macs this is the 4th time I had to type this. Getting on with the point. Where are the rules to support your argument ? I have stated the RAW repeatedly to support my argument, where is the evidence to support your assertions ? the RAW explicitally state "As if you...

    Monstrous Druid AC...

    Wrong The whole point of animated is to allow you to use a shield without hving to use any limbs to control it. NOT to allow you to use it when normally you could not. The whole point for wild shape is to allow you to use a shield when normally you could not. I will say it again, this is a VERY...
