Seems like an "add on" in order to make up for the total house rule of just about everything in existance.Sorry there are far too many implications from this massive house-rule to give a reasonable assessment. But I think you have discovered the inherent problem with house-rules. Everything in D&D is linked in one way or another (much more so in 3.5 thqn in previous versions) so a single house-rule (that seems small and reasonable at the time) has a domino effect on just about everything else.I suggest moving this post to the house-rules section instead of the "rules" section, you are more likely to get a reasonable assessment there instead of a "rules based" answer.</blockquote>
