D&D 5E (Deleted)

I voted 1-5, but if there was a "less than one full page" option I would have gone with that. I feel like the difference between what Blue does (which is what I use) and five pages of houserules is much greater than the difference between 5 and 10 pages.

I use 8-12 house rules. Each of which can be explained in a sentence or two. If printed out they could easily fit on a single side of a single page.

I voted only 1-5 pages based on thinking it was just rules, but then @the Jester referenced making spells and monsters as house rules made me think if they actually are for this. I'm not sure if I take a basic goblin and make a goblin champion if I would call it a houserule. I guess it is a homebrew.

My idea of reading the OP is if a player came to my table, would they be able to play if they only played by the book, or would they need to read lots of changes to fit in.

Well, there are fewer "goblin champions" and more conversions of old monsters and homebrewed new ones that I've updated from every edition to 5e. You want a tarantella (BECMI), transposer (1e), fremlin (2e), destrachan (3e), or chillfire destroyer (4e) for your 5e game? I've got you covered. You want old stuff from Arduin? Yeah, some of that too. And so forth.

You wouldn't need to read anything, you could go straight from the book (with a "no Drow" clause stuck on). All that stuff is extras.

I am not counting 3PP material, so please do include that in your vote.

What does this mean? It seems to me to contradict itself. Does 3PP material get counted or doesn't it?

Anyway, I said 1-5. And think the poll was poorly worded. And the OPs aggressive response to being questioned was unfortunate.

To me, I have lots and lots of homebrew. Lots of custom NPCs, items, spells, etc. But I don't consider any of that rules changes. No custom races, or classes, though unless I changed how current things are written, I don't know if I would count that as rules changes, just setting information.

That's actually a really good way to think of the question. Based on that, I think if a player unfamiliar with my house rules came to my game table to play, they could jump in with the most complex house rules being in regards to vitality points rather than using death saves, changes to exhaustion, use of action points based on 3.5 Eberron, and some slight differences in character creation (namely Stat bonuses being based on class and background choice rather than race). There may be others I'm forgetting but those are the main ones.

When it comes to my versions of classes, races, feats, and spells, players largely have the option to choose the RAW version or mine (though my versions are admittedly a bit more powerful). I'm also pretty lenient with mid-game changes if players want to try which version works best for them.

I voted 6-10. It's probably 5 or 6 pages so I went with 6. You really can, despite what many RPG rulebooks imply, pack a lot of information into a few pages. Especially if you eliminate fluff text and pictures.

Most of my pages are a list of the races/cultures and the rarity of classes/subclasses within that race/ culture and highlighting (in red) those subclasses that have something special (potentially) attached to them.

It's mostly FYI for character creation.

Was this thread always about home-brew as well because I thought it was just house rules. I put down 1-5 pages of house rules but I've no idea how many spells, items, races, and subclasses I've created. I also have a few home-brewed or updated monsters as well as templates for them and some somewhat easy mass combat rules. It's kind of scattered though, so hard to figure out.

Same. My answer is only about house rules. I have an uncountable amount of home-brewed monsters that I use. Completely home-brew setting with home-brew gods.

It was a word omission, known as a mistake , when I edited the OP. Sorry for the confusion!

My answer is only about house rules.

It is right in the title of the thread and in the poll question and in the OP.

"House-rules/ Homebrew" and:

to what extent other groups use house-rules or homebrew content consistently in their games?

So, I don't know what I could have said to make it clearer.

It's kind of scattered though, so hard to figure out.

This I can totally appreciate. If you wish to update your vote, just use your best judgement and thanks!
