If you are fine with the base classes, thats cool man. this is just the wrong area to preach about hows WOTC is so great, etc.  okay, you are kinda running in two directions here, you complain that the cleric doesnt have enough ranks, but you leave it be. Why? why not give clerics 4 skills ranks a level, and maybe adding a few skills to the list? the whole point of house rules is to spread ideas, and maybe you should check out my take on the cleric (priest, as i call him) earlier in this thread. Also, think about the heavy armor that is implimented in D&D > > only the very strongest of the warriors back in the middles ages could use them, so why should a servent of a god, of whom casts spells, be running around in full plate? it simply doesnt fit the idea. and also, you can compensate but giving them other powers, etc, like i did.  okay, as for this man - simply, the whole idea of house ruiles is not to restrict, but to look outside the box. many of us are obviously in the opinion that WotC didnt do things "right" in some areas. So just think about what you are saying. you could potentually have alot of fun creating your own world and populating it with your own races, and your own customized classes. That is what i have done, and you always must keep in mind that A) balance is key in anything, B) you must have playability (why do you think that the dwarven fighter is so popular, and a Orc Wizard is not?), C) you have to set the tone. My campaign has been greatly inspired but Tolkien, so many elements of it are recognisable, and also, things that maybe were not represented by Tolkien (such as Druids and Priests) I try to have them inspired from the "true" archetype. Simply put, i dont like the idea of a healer runnig around in Full Plate, or in Breastplate, for that matter. D) you gotta have fun with it all. it sounds like you are a really good DM, and you dont just make monsters act like "meat targets." thats awesome, 'nuff said.  You couldnt have said it better.</blockquote>
