Message: <blockquote data-quote="rgard" data-source="post: 9437158" data-attributes="member: 4157">We never attempted to do the weapon vs. armor type rules. One DM made illusionists use the same rules as magic-users for writing spells into spell books.  My illusionist got blown up ('dead splat' as we used to say) doing that.  I complained about that in another thread. Had one DM who awarded XP based on what your character did related to the character's class.  Magic-users & clerics got XP for casting spells, fighters for doing damage with a weapon and thieves for stealing stuff.  Same DM had fighters doing 3D6 damage with the weapon at 5th level.  She also allowed human multi-classing using the XP rules so your character leveled up quicker in classes that you did most of your actions.We always did XP for gp.  One DM wouldn't let you add the XPs until you spent the gold.We tried the weapons speed rules and tried to convince a different DM that since the dagger speed was half of the long sword (or half a round...I forget) our magic-users should be allowed to attack/stab twice in one round.  Hey, had to stay productive after expending all spells.If you tried to raise an attribute above an 18 with a wish, you only got a 0.1 added to the 18. We used stuff from Arduin Grimoire, Paladium and Bard Games.  One homebrew rule mentioned up thread was ignoring the fact you couldn't raise an elf from the dead.  Funny thing was that of the 5 or 6 different DMs we played with, all enforced that rule.  One of our clerics researched a spell called 'Recall Spirt' that allowed the cleric to raise a dead elf.</blockquote>
