    The VCH list (Very Common Houserules)

    -Sorcerers with eschew materials, spellpoints and bonus feats. -At 10th level, a Wizard, Cleric or Sorcerer can cast spontaneously any cantrip (or osiron) for a number of times per day equal to the typical max slots plus their int/wis/cha modifier. At 15th level, cantrips gain the effects of all...

    Dead levels for other classes and prestige classes?

    The Psychic Warrior has twelve dead levels, this is actually a good thing since it gives us an even number of levels to improve its chances with; Physical Prowess (Ex): As the dead levels fighter ability, but only available at levels 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18. Making it a reduced version of the...

    Hacking the drow

    I keep drow as they are, personally, though I remove spell resistance from all things and then I knock the LA down one notch.

    No Prestige Classes

    My personal rule: Give me a good reason in-story and in-RP, and then I'll say 'Okay, you can multiclass or take this Prestige Class'. Without a reason? Bugger off and find another DM. I would not, for instance, be opposed to a Paladin with his or her high Charisma discovering some inborn arcane...

    Suggest my House Rules

    Well, I wouldn't consider a longbow exotic, anyway. Not in a historical context; my country (or one of them: in UK terms I'm a bit of a mongrel, really) had a specific fondness for the longbow. I'd at least give the UK-equivalent region some familiarity with them. (Treat them as martial weapons...

    Suggest my House Rules

    However, the Longbow, historically, is not an exotic weapon. It was used very prolifically as a historic weapon. I would however, add a strength limit that anyone who hasn't got at least 14 strength cannot use a Longbow.

    New Weapon Enhancement: Weightless

    Air presents a form of friction; though your blade might be weightless it is still there and still a physical object. Physical objects often have more to provide than weight.

    Forgotten Realms: Only Skin Deep

    I What Comes Out of the Dark Dynamene sat at one of the tables in the inn. She lightly traced a finger across the tabletop, drawing little circles around the knots and creases of the weathered and aged pine with a disinterested expression upon her soft half-elven features. The barroom was...

    Neverwinter Night's 2 style recharging.

    It is not capable of being performed while in combat, according to the game. However I find that this is rather much a bad idea

    New spell feat and accompanying rules- Synergetic Spellcasting

    I love the idea; it adds something of an extra dynamic to roleplaying, especially when your two spellcasting characters just can't agree with one-another. "No, we should cast it my way and use a cyclone of fire," being countered with "But it's a lich, we should hit it with a burst of positive...

    Shape of Spells - Feat?

    Archmage High Arcana has 'Mastery of Shapes' which allows (no spell level adjustment included) does exactly that.

    Would the sabre be unbalanced?

    Or, y'know, just make it more expensive.

    Wands Using Caster's Caster Level

    I wouldn't use caster level, but actually Magic Ratings instead. However, I use a higher powered variant which makes column two have an identical progression to Rogue BAB and column three have a Wizard BAB progression.

    Anybody else getting sick of the pervasive-magic crutch in the game?

    Well, speaking as a purebred male (though British, not American, before anyone brings up that particular chestnut)... I'm rather surprised that people would want to tone down magic. It's just really the same long-term effect as using normal weapons... But with explosions. I do it for the...

    Crits vs. Undead, Constructs, etc. `

    I'm thinking about changing that rule in my games. Constitution is physical resistance; if anything a construct or an undead should get *more* Constitution due to a greater amount of physical tolerance towards things that'll hurt somebody.

    Crits vs. Undead, Constructs, etc. `

    I split undead into two different types; Magically Animated Corpses and Intelligent Undead. Intelligent Undead covers your basic liches, vampires, etc. They are vulnerable to critical hits (particularly vampires; I give a critical hit with a piercing weapon another chance to roll critical and...

    Torchwood episode 4

    That was a 1989 episode. The Cybermen appeared in the exact same story that introduced regeneration in 1966, which was the fourth season of Doctor Who. It's not exactly the first of the ever-constant ripoffs, just an earlier one. The Jem'Hadar (first appearance: 1994) are drug-addled...

    Torchwood episode 4

    Well, I'm drawn back to Rose's line at the end of Season 28/2/whicheversystemyou'reworkingon to the Black Dalek: "Five million Cybermen? No problem. One Doctor? Now you're scared!" In contrast, David Tennant's Doctor showed much more concern about the Daleks being there than the Cybermen. But...
