    Making 1 skill from 2, good or bad?

    Is this a class skill for Paladins?

    What's your favorite way of increasing skillpoints?

    I've thought about this as well. But I would propably add the following: Characters can buy all skills on a point per each rank basis, but skills not labeled as 'Class Skills' have a maximum of rank = level (opposed to class skills being max rank = level+3). This way, the fighter who wants...

    What's your favorite way of increasing skillpoints?

    For those of you that feel that most/some classes could use an increase in skills, how do you go about it? Bump the 2 SP/level classes to 4 SK/level? Increase all classes SP by 2? Only allowing these to be used with Craft, Knowledege or Profession? Allow for more generous point buy/stat...

    Making 1 skill from 2, good or bad?

    What are the pros and cons of combining the skills Hide and Move Silently into a single skill called Sneak or Stealth, and likewise with Listen and Spot, making a single skill called Alertness (or some such)? Obviously, this frees up skillpoints to be spent on something else, but will it...

    Hold Person

    So making it mechanically stronger could make the spell *less* lethal to the PC's, as the harder saves removes some of the urgency to CdG (compared to the core 3.5e version).

    Simple solution to multiclassing problem

    To be honest, it has never been a problem in my own games (my players rarely multiclass). But I've seen it mentioned as a problem by some, so I'm just offering what I thought was an elegant solution. (I believe someone suggested something like this before, maybe Sean.K. Reynolds - but I...

    Simple solution to multiclassing problem

    Not sure if this should go in House Rules. Also, if someone has suggested this exact way of handling the problem, please ignore me :) One problem with multiclassing that pops up here from time to time, is the way the stacking of BAB and saves work: Ignoring the playability of the following...

    Hold Person

    The way that the 3.5e Hold Person spell lets you try to break it's effect each round is quite a reduction of the spell's power. But since I kind of like that mechanic as it lets a player with a held character have something to do each round as well as adding some unpredictability to magic, I...

    Switching a rogue's Evasion and Uncanny Dodge

    (For the following suggestion, try to consider the Rogue class on it's own, and not how the proposed change would compare it to the Barbarian, various prestige classes and 3.5 Ranger.) How would you feel about letting the Rogue gain Uncanny Dodge at 2nd level and Evasion at 4th? Even though I...

    Magic Items that grant feats

    The Sylvan Scimitar grants the wielder use of the cleave feat under special conditions. (DMG 3.0 p190, 3.5 p229)

    Cleric domain variant

    Did you let the clerics keep their extra domain spell (the +1 spell per spell level), or did they have to give that up to be able to cast their domain spells spontaneously?

    toughness change

    What does it do?

    War domain and the bastard sword

    Do you feel that these quotes are in contradiction? I may be wrong, but the way I read it it says the following: Without martial weapon proficiency you can wield a bastard sword in two hands with a -4 penalty. You don’t have the option to use the sword one-handed. With martial weapon...

    New (?) Feat

    I believe all creatures should be able to reach their negative con score before dying. This also fits well with the fact that constructs and undead (that have no con score) are destroyed when they reach 0 hp's. Besides that, I'm thinking of making a feat that lets you stay conscious into part...

    "Background" skill points at Level 1

    In my upcomming campaign I gave all characters a free Skill Focus feat to be used with a Craft, Profession or Knowledge skill (appropriate to the character's background).

    Does anyone else think full-round casting rules are stupid?

    An idea for summoning spells If the major reason for the summoning spells taking one round to cast is delaying when the summoned creature gets to act, and if letting the creature appear at the time of casting but not having it act until your next turn would nerf the spell too much (due to the...

    Why a prereq for Weapon Finesse?

    Feel free to ignore the prereq Andy did indeed say so (but I believe it was on the WotC board).

    Standing up from prone and AoO

    Thanks for the replies. It seems people are torn as to how this should be handled, so I've mailed my question to Andy Collins, to see what he says (if he gets back to me, I'll post his reply here.) In the meantime, could those of you with the inclination please check out this thread in House...
