    Variant skill class: Wisdom based!!!!

    IMC, every skill is a class skill for everyone. (Except exclusive skills.) Also, we combined all of the DnD skills into more general skills. Examples: Hide and Move Silently turned into Stealth. Appraise was combined with Profession: Merchant Now we have characters who actually have a few...

    How to make a player stop being a paladin

    Is this really a Rules thread? . . . . . If you don't have Paladins in your world, then disallow Paladins. If you do have Paladins in your world, and Paladins fit into the party/storyline, then let the guy play a Paladin. What harm is being caused by him playing a Paladin? It's not like he's...

    Choose Blur over Mirror Image

    Blur negates sneak attack. In the off chance that someone actually hits you when your Mirror Image is up, you could still be SAed. Besides, why don't you use both? ;)

    Selling Magic Items

    We do half price for everything except commodities and gems. (Gems is a campaign specific house-rule.) Why do we go with the books on this one instead of trying to make something complicated? Simple: We are adventurers. We do not own stores where we sit around waiting for random people to buy...

    Are Spells Balanced by Level?

    I've got a homebrew low-magic world that only uses Fighters, Rogues, a variant non-magic Ranger and the Adept. The only way it was balanced was to greatly increase the price of magic items. Then it worked fine. I'm of the opinion that spells are countered by magic items. This is because magic...

    Removing AoO from D&D

    AoO's are what happen when you leave a Tackle Zone and fail the Dodge roll. Can you tell I play Blood Bowl? ;)

    [B] Is this a rhetorical question? :)

    Do you require Dwarves to spend an Exotic Weapon feat to use the Dwarven Waraxe?

    I think every dwarf should have Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Tankard of Ale.

    Please rate Rapid Reload

    [HOUSE RULE] Crossbows ignore the first 5 points of AC from armor. Repeating Crossbows do not exist. (Too high of a Tech level.) [/HOUSE RULE] In our campaigns, this feat is not too terrible... :)

    Dwarf on the run

    First time my wife played DnD was during a one-shot I was running. I made her character a L2 Dwarven Fighter in banded mail... She said: "Honey, how come the battle is always over before I get to do anything?" ;)

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    You didn't kill him. The monsters killed his character. There is a big distinction. When you are DMing, if it is in the monster's best interests to slay his character, by all means, do not have them pull punches. That would be unfair to the other players. Besides, just because his character is...

    Rangers... the weakest of classes?

    Yeah, I've come to the conclusion that any of the classes can be effective if you use them the way they were intended to be played. I just can't stand FE, TWF or piddly Druid spells. Not because they lack power, I just don't like the combination. . . . Which is weird, because the only Ranger I...

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    How is letting a player play a 1st level character unfair to the rest of the group? Why would this be an issue with them?

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    Let him enter with a 1st level character. Heck, Frodo couldn't have been more than level 3. Maybe your other PCs will take it as a challenge and attempt to protect the clueless. And if he dies, so what? That's not your problem. You cannot step on eggshells for this person to the detriment of...

    A Challenge to the Smackdowners!

    I think they should stack. First off, the best ability of a Monk is the SR. Every level of a Fighter detracts from this ability. Even if you only give the character 4 levels of Fighter (which would probably be the limit due to Weapon Spec.), you are still rapidly declining the effectiveness of...
