Oh Bum. Im fairly sure I posted an almost identical list of house rules much longer ago but I think those were lost in a similar crash. Thanks for the help. Majere

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 ...

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

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...

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...

"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...

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...

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 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...

Spells ignore DR regardless of the type of damage they do. Majere

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...

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...

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...

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...

Let me put it like this If a druid wildshaped into a bear and wanted to use a shield would you let him ? If you would let him, then the animated shield would work fine. If you wouldnt let him then an animated shield would not work. An animated shield behaves EXACTLY as if being wielded, but...

But it doesnt seem silly that the armor you were wearing in human form has now completely disapeared, melding into your body ? Indeed. Opinions are just opinions and rules are rules. By the RAW there is no ACP or anything else involved with wildshaped armor. By the RAW an animated shield...

From the SRD: Animated: Upon command, an animated shield floats within 2 feet of the wielder, protecting her as if she were using it herself but freeing up both her hands. Only one shield can protect a character at a time. A character with an animated shield still takes any penalties associated...

As a further note: Given that melded shield frees up a limb so that it may be used for attacking, I would stick to the "armor and enhancement bonus only ruling", denying the shield user the shield bonus, otherwise the wild shape becomes rather gross when on a shield. But that is a prsonal...

In an ammendum to my above post this actually implies two things: 1) You need to decide as a DM which slots animals have, write this down, and stick to it. 2) If you dont let bears wield shields, they would be able to attack with both paws. Im pretty sure I would not let bears wield tower...
