[QUOTE="Relic, post: 414454, member: 8159"] [b]Some of my House Rules[/b] 1: Each class receives +2 to the number of skill points (i.e. Fighter has 4 skill points, etc). 2: [I]Bluff[/I] cannot be used in combat to feint, instead feint falls under the skill [I]Combat Tactics (Int)[/I], which is a class skill for Fighters, Barbarians, Rangers, Paladins, and clerics who have the domain of Strength or War. [I]Combat Tactics - Feint[/I] is used to perform a feint manuever and to oppose a feint manuever. 3: Ranger, Monk, and Paladin are prestige classes. Of course, the Ranger is modified and the Paladin abilities are based on the diety/religion of the Paladin. 4: Weights for armor and weapons have been adjusted to realistic values. 5: 5' step can occur during any part of the round (you do not have to wait for your turn to take a 5' step). This eliminates the whole "step back 5', shoot/cast." The archer/caster steps back 5' and you promptly and immediately follow. 6: Base Attack Bonuses may be transferred to AC at a 1:1 ratio. Your BAB represents your skill with a weapon, not just your ability in offense but your ability in defense as well. If I have a BAB +10 that means that I am very good at getting a good swipe or stab but that I cannot use that same skill to prevent such things from happening to me??? This is just like the Expertise feat but has no limits to how defensive you can be and I consider it a natural aspect of melee combat. 7: 2E attack order. Every combatant gets one attack in the order of initiative before 2nd attacks are made. 2nd attacks are then made, again in the order of initiative, before 3rd attacks are made. Etc, etc, etc. 8: Skill Focus. +3 to one skill, or +2 to one skill and it counts towards ranks for purposes of determining eligibility for prestige classes. 9: Spot, Listen, and Search are class skills for all classes. Knowledge is a class skill for all classes with limitations (i.e. I would allow a fighter to take Knowledge: Engineering but would not allow a fighter to take Knowledge: Planes). 10: Add Intimidation to Sorcerer skill list, add Intimidation and Diplomacy to Fighter skill list.
