Or it could mean, few people still play 1e and that those who remember playing 1e don't recall what house rules they used. I would say the 1st houserule for 1e that I would make would be to eliminate nonhuman level limits. Back when I played 1e (my goodness, has it been that long ago) they...

A -1 to hit means you hit LESS often. A -1 to ac means you are hit MORE often. Balanced out. What is Project Phoenix? Is it a personal project or are you part of a group? Does it have a website? Why do a massive overhaul of the 3.5 system? Basically, when you overhaul or houserule a...

my 2 cents E6 uses a similar concept to implement prestige classes. Instead of levels, you take feat chains. While I like the basic concept, I think multiclassing is fine the way it is and you have gone to alot of effort for very little (if any) gain. I just have 1 piece of advise, be sure...

Nicely stated. Though I think you underestimate the impact of gaining a feat on player perception. Sure, not every feat is going to cause fireworks (in the players perception). But with the ability to work toward some feat chain (with nearly unlimited feats), progression toward that goal can...

Was weaponmaster ever updated to 3.5? It increases the multiplier of it's favored weapon.

IMO, the amount of exp to buy a new feat should be based on "How often do you want the pc's to get a new feat?" and not necessarily on what level you make epic. Now that choice could influence that number, but it doesn't dictate it. In my GE7 campaign we have stated; 1- Now that we are at 7th...

Well you're sort of correct. Natural healing does effect the dying, just not in the normal way (with lots of chances to not work). My group has always had Fast healing effect characters from -1 to-9. Does Errata, FAQ or customer service say anything about this?

My take Psion, I like your take on wands too. Replace "spell components bag" with a wand, nice, balanced and simple. I created a Hogwarts style school of magic in my campaign. I believe I let the wands hold certain spells (depending on the wand) which the wizards could then spontaneously...

Setting aside the probable inexperienced and railroady DM, the action was stupid, unrealistic, cheesy and metagaming. I too would have it attack your character for doing something like that. I noticed you didn't list full defense at attack defensively as possible actions. They would have...

I've done something like this a few times (I like wacky adventures) and for the most part it has turned out very well. Just a few comments - If they might want to stay in their changed forms, include a "count-down clock" (say, each day in the changed form does permanent wis drain or something)...

Notice I said "reasonable DM", and someone who wants to "make the game as "broken" as possible" is not running a normal game. Thus, the occurrence of said broken combo is possible (see spoiler), but due to it's rarity, not a "Most exploited combo"s. Pun pun is broken, but since it is very...

This is not 1 of the "Most exploited combo"s because I don't know a reasonable DM who would allow such a thing. And if such a thing is not allowed, it cannot be exploited. Look around the various forums, this topic (true strike, use activated) comes up on a regular basis all over the net.

Golden Realms III My group has been playing a GE7 gestalt game with a lean upward approach. It actually fit right into the end of the last campaign which ended with the heroes (all 16/17 level characters) defeating an invasion from a Cuthullu-like God. This epic level fight and it's...

No it's not "wrong", it's just a matter of opinion. The OP asked for input, and I gave my opinion. For you to then come along and call it "wrong" is rude and I am offended by it. Frankly, a group can use house rules all day long, and as long as they are happy, more power to them. However...

As others have suggested; -What are the problems you are having in your campaign? -What do you want to achieve with these houserules? If it's like Derro says and you are trying to play 1E feel in 3.x, why not take 1E and add 3.x stuff to it. A few specific comments "Grappling is a useless...

I suppose so, as soon as you get through her army of servants and guards, all who would die for her. And, since Formians are intelligent, they are aware of this vulnerability and have probably taken steps (which I will leave to your imagination).

My 2 cents IMHO you should simplify the Keidren, particularly the stat changes. As you have it I can choose the penalty/bonus that will best benefit my class(es), much like with the many elf subraces. I would suggest the same stat penalty/bonus for all Keidren and just vary the other stuff...

Yeah, the PDFs worked fine for me, it must be on your end. I assume you've read post 37, 58, 62 with Grmstaff's similar idea. I think 1 of the reasons for keeping it RAW until 6th and then capping is to keep the rules changes as simple as possible. Rycanada has stated in previous threads he...

Would you please elaborate on how a monk/rogue can get it. If you're thinking it is worded like uncanny dodge, it isn't, 2 evasions do not become improved evasion. So what am I missing? Also, monks get improved evasion at level 9, 1 level earlier than rogues.

RE: Ranger & Monk OK, so there are going to be multiple capstone feats. If that is the case, then I would agree with I always got the impression that you wanted 1 capstone feat. Multiple feats are cool with me. :cool: If you did only 1 Capstone Feat; Ranger both WS & ST, but if you only...
