[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 6779109, member: 83242"] To me house rule = homebrew, what is the difference to you. Wait, I think I see where your coming from; however, house rules are required for the game. Every ruling a DM makes on a situation that is not explicitly covered by the rules is a house rule. What is even the purpose of pointing out house rules? I don't think you can play the game without house rules, they even give examples in the DMG of the requirements for house rules to cover these cases (pg 5 DMG). No problem - it is what I get for jumping in late to the conversation! Here is the text i am referring to: "...a character automatically succeeds on any ability check with a DC less than or equal to the character's ability score minus 5." and "If the character's proficiency bonus applies to his or her ability check, the character automatically succeeds if the DC is 10 or less. If that character is 11th level or higher, the check succeeds if the DC is 15 or less." page 239 of the DMG if you want to look it up. Sorry I got to get some work done so I will not be able to reply for a bit. [/QUOTE]
