[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 859145, member: 9990"] I throw more burden on the players to keep track of things like encumberance, skill points, weapons, attack bonuses and the like. Thing is you gotta trust your players a lot to do that, as I always had 1 bozo who would just add a little bit to see if he could get it by me. I hate that, so I tagged him for experience points and he stopped. I also DMed since the old Red & Blue basic sets, so I was reluctant to add the "A" to D&D, but by 2E we made the transition over through countless changes to my house rules. When I picked up 3E I was astonished at first with how simple the multiclassing is, then I started realizing how completely different it is compared to what we used to use. I think I am at the point where I really like it but not starting to abuse the rules that I see a lot of questions about. Another thing is when the PCs level I ask the players to tell me what has increased when they update their character sheets so I know exactly what's going on, and it tends to get the players into the game a bit more as they usually write a description of why they wanted to increase certain abilities over others.
