New Rules!!! :)

[Scribble]

I love new optional rules.

Things that you can add into an existing game. For Instance:

RR- Ritual Magic, and tattoo magic, and rune magic.
BOVD- Sacrificing rules, and a bunch of others in there actually..
Fairs, tournements, and Taverns- Drinking rules and games.. cool
BOEM- Soul Magic and Magic poisons...

See what I mean? Rules that probably won't make a dramatic change to the way the game is played but add a neat new element to the game...

What other new rules do you guys like?

What books are chock full of em?

May I immodestly recommend my own book of Character Customization?

That depends... did you ever come up with a 3.5 version?

I like a lot of the stuff in UA, Grim Tales, and a few things in BOVD.

Heros of High Favor Elves: ley line rules.

 

[Wombat]

Since my game is based on AU, with some of the PrCs and options from Swashbuckling Adventures, the Complete Book of Eldritch Might, bits of Relics & Rituals (I & II), and Skull & Bones, I guess you could say nearly my whole campaign is optional rules...

(Where'd that clump of hair in my hands come from...?)

Er.. well.. Not yet. But soon. Really. I mean it's only been 16 months since I released anything.

(Ow, my head.)

Ravenloft Campaign setting, madness rules.

Heros of High Favor Elves: ley line rules.

Second World Sourcebook: "Bindings" magic system, d20 modern adaptation

Path of (X): Legendary Classes

These things sound intriging just from the name... Anyone care to shed a little light on what they are?

Ley Lines I'm assuming is rules for bonus power to spells if on a ley line?
