I don't know, more light on their feet or somesuch, I'd like to see background reasoning/explanation for something like that.  Please don't say you think it's more realistic.  I'd  be so disappointed.Swapping Tumble and Concentration for AC - doubly so.  AC in D&D is admittedly bass-ackwards in that armor should reduce damage as opposed to reduce the chance of being hit in the first place.  Is that where you're headed?  Or is this supposed to just replace Dex AC bonuses?  Or... I need more information to grasp this one too.Making longbows exotic - I'd have least problems with this.  ASSUMING, of course, that your campaign history/cultures support this.  If your problem with longbows comes down to not being able to personally visualize a longbow and mounted archery together then just ban THAT, or make a feat for "Mounted Longbow Archery".  Making longbows themselves actually exotic is going a bit far in fixing things that 'ain't broke.IMO, House Rules are for fixing ONLY those things that you think are GENUINELY broken and just can't live without fixing them, or are integral to portraying a non-standard campaign world where metallurgy hasn't advanced very far, or Elves live only in sea-caves, or you like the visual of characters wielding swords with pommels bigger than their own heads.In other words - don't change the rules JUST for the sake of changing the rules.  The game will go much easier (for everyone) and players will be much happier.</blockquote>
