[QUOTE="pming, post: 7019007, member: 45197"] Hiya! Just got the "mention" alert...figured I'd add a bit here. :) I am almost completely happy with the core 5e rules. [I]Almost[/I]. We (my group and I) hated the "POOF! You're healed before breakfast!" right from day one. Literally...day one. After reading the rule, letting it slide the first time that session, but after that I came up with our current healing house rule. I also use d12 for Initiative; it puts a bit more emphasis on really quick and really slow NPCs/PCs/Monsters. Plus, the d12 is cool! :) I also have a house rule regarding Material Components, the Focus item, and that kind of thing. Basically, if you use the [I]actual[/I] material components, you get a boost to the spell. Think of it like Material Components being top grade, fresh, cooking ingredients; fish from the fish market that day, just-picked veggies, etc. But using a Focus or Material Component Pouch is like using frozen fish, frozen veggies, Ms.Dash/Spike for spices, etc. Someone who knows what they are doing can make a frozen-focused dinner palatable...but if they get access to everything they need and fresh as a daisy ingredients, they can make [I]amazing[/I] tasting dishes. There are one or two other little things we do, but it's more of a 'different interpretation' of the rule in question than a houserule. Anyway, sorry for the derail; I just wanted to point out that I [I]add[/I] stuff all the time...I just don't find the need to [I]change[/I] much of 5e. PS: And the stuff I do add I come up with myself. I don't think I've used anything other than one or two monsters from "5e Foes" from Frog God Games (I think they were the ones who did that book). ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
