In fact, most of my house rules are based more on pet peeves than balance.I'll give one example--the quarterstaff. The quarterstaff is just as a mace in one hand, and can be used two handed if you want to. There is pretty much no reason not to use a quarterstaff instead of a mace by the rules.Mechanically, a mace and shield cleric really ought to be a staff and shield cleric, especially if they get a magic staff. And a druid should be using a staff and shield too, instead of just a staff in two hands.I hate that. I really, really hate that. Traditional clerics go mace and shield, and druids with quarterstaves don't use shields.So I changed the quarterstaff's properties to two-handed and finesse instead of versatile. This nicely eliminates both problems. This also makes it a bit more appealing for a typical wizard. One unforeseen side effect is that it makes quarterstaff a great option for a Pact of the Blade warlock with the Polearm Master feat.</blockquote>
