Which 3.5 changes are you NOT using?

[Magic Missile]

Well, I haven't got an opportunity to get a decent look at 3.5 ed, or run a game with it yet, but I can categorically say that I won't be using the new weapon size/handedness rules stuff. Silly and totally unnecessary. Blech.

I'm not going to be using the "everyone has to whinge about the rules" rule.

Oh, wait. That's just a widely accepted house rule.

I'm using everything other than some spell changes, and then only the ones that my players already use.

The big one for me is imporoved crit and keen not stacking. No way am i using that lemon of a revision.

I'm not using 3.5 at all. I'd like to own the books just to have them for my collection. To answer the question posed in this thread, I would not use 3.5 facing rules, nor would I use 1 min/level for buff spells. I also think that the wizard got ripped off in terms of having some of their spells be added to other spellcaster spell lists. On the other hand, the core class changes look good. I like that bard is now the favored class for gnomes.

See sig.

Though I flipped through my 3.5 books again tonight, and I get the feeling more that I'll probably use 3.0 with elements of 3.5 rather than vice versa.

Creature facing and pokemounts are top two on my hit list of things I will absolutely not be using in my game.

In our group, we asked the question the other way around:
What rules are we going to use.

We still agree on several changes, but this makes it easier for us to determine what will change in our games, especially since most of us already have the 3.0 core rulebooks and don`t want to buy the 3.5, and so have to reference to the old book.

Not using the following:

1. Adamantine ignoring less than 20 hardness.

2. Imp. Crit and Keen not stacking, though I have modified the keen and vorpal powers so they don't give as large a bonus.

3. Inv. and Greater Inv. (aka Imp. Invisibility) are back to their former durations.

4. Death Ward is back to its former duration.

5. Stoneskin, Prot. From Arrows, Iron Body spells and Golems all have #/- DR. #/Adamantine DR does not exist in my games.

6. Rangers receive bonus feats, not combat paths.

7. Change falling damage to cumulative and additive damage, so that people fear falling great distances. I wish they would make this change in the core rules.

That's it I think. All my other rules are pure house rules that aren't in any books that I know of.
