[QUOTE="shouit, post: 937528, member: 4031"] Since we have a thread running around what is the strangest house rule, I figure, what is the coolest house rule you have seen? I have heard of a rule in which if you roll a '1' for your hitpoints when you level, instead of rerolling it, the DM marks it down and the next time (if there is a next time) you roll a '1' for hitpoints you can reroll it till you don't get a '1'. I really liked this one. The other rule, we have used is the "Bad Idea" ball. In a group I used to play with, there were a couple of players which would feed the DM ideas about "Wouldn't it be cool(bad, neat,etc) if...?" and it would be determental for another character. For example, he would say something like "Wouldn't it be bad if this cave would collapse on us and lock us in here." I know that is kinda lame, but he was very creative and a lot of times his ideas were better then the planed encounter. He cost me two +2 short swords. Anways, so we have a nerf light bulb and wrote "BAD IDEA" on it. And any time he or anyone else came up with an idea that someone thought was a bad idea, another player could grab the ball and throw it at the other person. It was really funny and no one got hurt cause it was all in jest. I still have that light bulb. [/QUOTE]
