[12-03-03] Updated, once again. Not much, but I'll try to keep it more current.

Alright, yesterday I was laid up after having wisdom teeth pulled, so I spent a lot of time reading here. Anyway, I was looking for a thread I was sure I'd seen a long while ago about weapon/combat styles - I didn't find it - but I did keep a running list of every thread I saw that I was interested in. I dug through the entire 48 pages of threads, and though I obviously didn't read every thread, I thought some people might find my list interesting. Feel free to throw anything you've got saved - I always enjoy seeing stuff I've missed.

Theovis suggested allowing the use of varied spell slots to power metamagic feats; burning up three extra levels of spells instead of a +3 spell level feat.

Combat Wombat (reknowned Lurker who I mistook for Randomling!l) posted a thread about having an “Armored Casting” skill – the thread touched on all sorts of stuff, and really is a great one.

Mr. Oberon proposed a set of alternate rules for summoning creatures. Quite interesting, really, allowing all sorts of randomization – though I personally think it may be touching on the toes of calling creatures.

Al had an odd little idea – “Bluffing the Truth.” Worth looking into, as it proposes some alternate uses for several skills and some well-thought-out mechanics.

Spatzimaus started an interesting skill thread regarding why certain things weren’t class skills. Many interesting proposals cropped up, including “kid skills,” and “racial skills.”

Kevin O’Reilly & Spatzimaus both posted unique alterations to the polymorph spells. There’re some really good changes there that make the spells somewhat more dependant on knowledge.

Peterka1 suggested a method of linking clerics to their domains in a more specific manner – for those who have complaints about clerics, this may be a perfect thing to take a look at.

Thorvald Kviksverd posted some rules for helmets he had cooked up that could be quite useful to someone interested in including them in their campaign.

Perhaps I should just send a link directly to Mr. Kreynold’s link, but since I’ve made a habit of listing the actual thread… Thistleknot brought up the deficiencies in creating dragonhide armour by the core rules, and there was an immediate rush to point out the former link.

Avatar of the North began speculating on the uses of skills once they begin to reach incredible heights – epic level skills, in essence. There’s a handful of really neat ideas here. (I’m unsure if the information is duplicated from the ELH, since I don’t ‘ave it.)

Well, it’s kinda hard to leave out Tom Cashel’s thread with over three-hundred replies and four-digits worth of views, so consider this the definitive thread on house rules for Harm.

Steven McRownt brought up the use (well, he was one of many, but seeing as this was the longest thread I noticed that stayed on topic, I went with it) of a knowledge: monster skill.

Dave Blewer was curious as to what other’s opinions for the DM keeping track of damage to a PC was – it’s an interesting read, especially for those that think the PC’s shouldn’t have a perfect idea of what they’ve taken.

Even trying to stay away from things like spells, ‘cause they take so long to look through, Anabstercorian managed to create one of my favorite spells ever. So there.

I’ve wanted to include something on good dexterity-based fighting, and what better than information on parrying? Since Jeph seems to have one of the more complete bits…

Ok, considering my reason for spending three hours digging today was to find this thread, how could I not include it? DrowDude whipped up some WONDERFUL planetouched templates, that can easily replace the standard MM races.

Jeph put together a “savage” template to replace the use of the barbarian class. Not necessarily my cup ‘o tea, but it’s an interesting look at fixing what many look at as a roleplaying restriction.

It's been a while, but I would've thought people might get some use out of this. (Crosses fingers and hopes it just got missed.) And I'd like to see what other threads people thought are worth not missing...
 

Any thread which I think of useful gets put in my Favorite Links (such as this one!). I used to just copy and paste onto Word, but this is much easier & organized. I'll take a look over some of the links, as saving onto FLinks I've only started doing recently.
 





I got to this thread through the link in your sig, Terraism, and thus far it's been a pleasure to sift through it. Thanks. :)

Hehe. I got a ~bump~! :D

Thanks for the praise, Haiiro. Glad to see the sig-link does some good. :)
 

House Rules has become of my favorite forums, so it's always nice to have a handy link to some of the more interesting threads -- particularly the older ones that I missed during my "infrequent lurking" days.
