2024-05-06, 03:12 PMFirst of all, it does. It's not fun to arbitrarily get less XP than the other people at the table for the same encounters, and possibly level up...35 replies | 1809 view(s)

2024-05-06, 03:01 PMPlayer Race Options in my game are separated into 3 categories: Green/Yellow/Red Light. Green Light is most stuff, no restriction. But I do have...79 replies | 4822 view(s)

2024-05-05, 10:04 PMWell, this IS a thread about House Rules, so you do you. For what it's worth, the intended benefit of Combat Reflexes by RAW is that a character can...65 replies | 3140 view(s)

2024-05-05, 01:07 PMRedMage125 replied to a thread Arguments IN FAVOR of keeping hide/move silently and spot/listen/search separate? in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20Agree wholeheartedly.
