Potential house rules

Harbinger · Site Admin

I am think of implementing the following rule.

The fighting classes (Fighter, Ranger, Barbarian, Monk and Paladin) Get the following benefits;
At level 6 they may move half their movement rate and still make a full attack.
At level 11 they may move their full movement rate and still make a full attack.
at level 16 they may charge and still make a full attack.

Another house rule I am thinking of implementing is the +2 awesome bonus. When your character attempts something awesome they get a +2 awesome bonus to the d20 roll.

The awesome bonus stacks with any other bonus, even other awesome bonuses.

this will probably port over to 4th edition as well.

another idea I had that will also probably get ported over to 4e is combining actions. For example: Suppose a character wants to jump over a flaming sarcophagus and bull rush the hobgoblin standing behind it.

Normally you would have to resolve this as two rolls the Jump check and then the bull rush. giving the player two chances to fail at something that should be awesome.

So I think that the player should resolve this with one roll. either using the same roll for both parts or just using the lower of the two possible results to determine the outcome of both.

I also am toying with the idea that ability drain will just be damage from now on.

A fighter doesn't get his extra attacks until the level I stated. At 5th levelt here is no point to making a full attack since you only have one attack.

the thing that is keeping me from implementing the weapon focus and weapon specialization rules is that I can't get hero lab to do it.

the monk also has a different base attack bonus progression so my original theory isn't completely correct.

Note: Jumping over a flaming sarcophagus to bull rush a hobgoblin should also receive an awesome bonus.

while the normal awesome bonus will be +2, acts of supreme awesome could generate higher bonuses.

James and I are working on a bunch of possible house rules. More to follow soon.

I may implement a "second wind" mechanic similar to 4e. The whole healing surge thing might not work but I think the concept of the second wind might.

Once per encounter a character can take a standard action to regain one quarter of their hit points.
