Hi there, So an update on my house rule on Channel Enegy being a burst effect with different values. In play, as a DM, I like it. It makes combat more tactical, and healing not a one burst and they are completely back in it affair. At first this took some getting used to. I had to slow...

Hi there! How can I help? I created this page for my character creation rules, and only rarely refer to it. Did I set this up wrong?

Thanks, I think the problem I have is that I've introduced the concept of armies in book 2. They have been building for two years, and I used an excellent change Dudemeister's Hargulka's Kingdom changes. I had three ACR 1 Troll armies (25 units) at the PC's. The chances that the group...

I just will add my system, it may be mentioned already in the 11 pages below your post. A creature who tumbles must make an opposed roll against the creature's attack roll who is trying to attempt an AoO against it. If the tumbler wins, there is no attack. If the attacking creature wins...

Zen, I was wondering what you would think would happen if you switched the d20 roll to 2D10? I've not run a combat yet, but am curious if this tones down any "quick" kills due to lucky rolls.

I agree, the first house rule I design deals with the death and dying system. I've never used the default, and have always changed the rule to suit my campaign and our group's style of play.

Yep, we play tonight, in fact. It's been nice chatting with you here! I'll fill you in. Of course, there is always grumbling... but we are getting to be old men... Aluvial

I like the idea of him giving adjacent characters 50% more... then full out to 15', then 1/2 out to 30'. I'm going to get the usual "your nerfing it bit" but then the 50% more will make it more like the "I move up to touch" deal that I think is missing. Or they can have the 30' cone...

It's not a bad idea. It might be complicated in practice. I like that the power is stronger with a varient effect. I might just split it in half though. Within 15 is full, out from there is 1/2. Keep the burst. I may try this. I might let them add 50% if you are right next to the...

I called it the wrong thing. It is channel energy. I don't do healing surges. I like the distance idea... is it up to 50'? I thought it only went to 30'. Aluvial

We play for about 4 hours a week. That has recently been cut to about 3 1/2 due to kids. We do the delay thing as well. I want a BIG digital 15 second clock. What says goes... then I rule on it! Your turn! Tick-tock! I won't multiply the crit dice because you get to many highs...

My issue really isn't with the new combat maneuvers except grapple. The problem as I see it is that it gives both the grappled condition... and THEN.. you have to go look that up. I would pay through the nose for a book that reprinted rules that you obviously would need to look up in the...

I use flaws and offset those with talents. Each character picks a flaw and a talent, although in the future, we will roll. I had a rule that said you could pick an additional flaw to get the extra feat. I'm giving each character a Trait as well... I keep a few of the 3.5 rules. Like...

Do you use any House Rules? Aluvial

Some other fixes for this issue that I've seen are to make the Rage HP, temp HP. You take from these first... if you have any left when the rage ends, they go away. You wouldn't get to negatives (necessarily) without having spent your temp points anyway. I don't like this personally, but...

I liked it. The kingdom rules were simple enough. I did not care as much for the mass combat system. I've not gotten to the mass combat in Kingmaker yet. I thought that the system was very medieval in nature, which fit my low fantasy Greyhawk game. It was robust enough to include magic...

Pound him in some other way. You dropped prone... I attack from invisibility... SMACK! Don't argue with the rules... just get even. What?!? Max damage... ouch! Aluvial

My group and I are now playing a hybrid game... FULL of house rules. I use Pathfinder classes, skills, feats, and combat; 3.5 spells, and a few trailblazer items. I have LOTS of house rules that are group fixes from 3.5 that still make sense for Pathfinder... and the a few that adjust...

Dropping out of rage seems more realistic, even if it is deadly. I can't see you being ticked off when you get knocked out. I was also looking at a 3.5 druid spell that allows you to remain conscious, when you would normally be unconscious (can't remember the name). What Rage Powers allow you...

I was using a good system called Fields of Blood for awhile, but then switched over to the Kingmaker kingdom rules. I'll be buying a copy of Ultimate Campaign from Paizo... just to see what's what. Aluvial
