Little Known Rules of D&D

[Aleolus]

OK, this post is to see how many of us know about rules that are in existence and in the official books, but that almost no one knows of or uses. I have 2, included below.

1: If you score a critical hit twice in sequence on any one given opponent, you automatically kill them.

2: Only non-evil alignments are supposed to be available for PCs.

Cool thread. Can you post page numbers for the rules that you find like that?

I'd like to know, too. I couldn't find anything about the critical hit rule in the SRD.

I'm pretty sure that's cause its not an official rule.

Well, my source for the crit rule is Rusty, who's another poster on these forums, so if he can post a book and page, great. As for the other one I posted,

From the 3.5 PHB, p. 105

The first six alignments, Lawful Good through Chaotic Neutral, are the standard alignments for player characters. The three evil alignments are for villians and monsters.

This was put in response to a question about an alignment ruling that I use for my games.

ah...claims without evidence.

It's like teaching undergraduate college writing all over again.

Sorry, I found what he was refering to, he was right. Edited my above post to be accurate.

Indeed.

It's a variant rule, but it is in a core book ... DMG pg. 28.
