[QUOTE="GrandTheiftBanana, post: 6885843, member: 6852261"] Hello, new to the board and greatly interested in almost all of these topics. The homebrew and houserules concepts are GREAT and I'm liking a lot of the streamlining ideas especially on character creation. I don't know if this is the correct place to post all homebrew ideas, but one of the "flash D&D" sessions we played with some new comers to the world of D&D involved just rolling at least a 14 and describing how you were fighting. We had five guys, half an hour to play, no time to create character sheets and start in a tavern (ha ha ha)... So everyone was a barbarian, fighting an orc hoarde... GO! It went pretty good, and could have lead to a much more detailed adventure. Kind of like the first five minutes of a movie before the intro credits are rolled. But, it wasn't meant to be and we never had the chance to play again. The house rule I can think of used most recently wasn't covered in the books (or if it was I coudn't find it) is if a wand of lighting could be used underwater. I allowed it, but it had the 'electric eel" effect and did an area damage including the wand holder. Good times, good times. I'm looking forward to trying to catch up on all these amazing topics I've found on this forum. It's like finding a free gold mine and I'm a dwarven prospector with gold lust! :D [/QUOTE]
