If anyone would be interested, I've got 11 pages of
House Rules written up in Word that we're using for my wife's Wheel of
Time game. It modifies and adds a number of things, even building off of
or changing a few things from the Netbook. The main thing, though, is that it completely alters the channeling system to be more like the books, going to a Vitality/Wound point system and then drawing from Vitality to create weaves (representing fatigue). I'm pretty proud of it and if anyone is interested, I could try to find some place to post it (Maybe Call of the Horn would host it). I could give more detail of all the things that we've changed or added, if people are really interested. |

I'd be interested to take a look at it. Sounds like
you put some work into it. Email it to me at joshmvii@earthlink.net if you
don't get it hosted somewhere. Thanks. |

I would suggest you post them in pieces, house rules
of course can be inlarger pieces, about the size of half a page is usually
best for message boards. An additional suggestion would be to have a number of ho-hum house rules that everyone probably uses and one controversial house rule so that we all have something to talk about (see here: Complain) ![]() Thank You. -------------------- Quillion Ogre Sage of Pencil Pushers Publishing Mythical Gaming!

I'd like to take a look, especially at the
wound/vitality system since I enjoy the Star Wars d20 system and
personally think it would have made way more sense for channeling to
follow a system like that rather than the spell-slot system. If you don't
mind you can email the whole thing to me at entropic_existence@hotmail.com

Whew, sorry guys. My computer went down *hard* just shortly after I posted this message. I just got it back in working order late, late last night. I will definitely e-mail a copy to everyone who has asked...there's just one entry I need to tweak and one I need to add first. I'd love to get discussion going on it, too, but wow....posting it a half page at a time....with 11 pages? That's a heck of a lot. Hmmm, is there any sort of Yahoo group associated with this site? If so, I could post it up there for everyone to go and read. |

I wouldn't mind taking a look too.
targul2@hotmail.com -------------------- Wait, if I DID evil, and you guys here
ARE evil. Then shouldn't you be showering me with rewards and
concubines, etc.? This is Hell we're big on irony here. Then I'm sure you'll appreciate what is going to occur. I'm dead, so this is some egoscopic projection of myself? Correct, but I hardly see what... So without any fleshy meats to slow me down, how long do you REALLY think it'll take for me to usurp your entire kingdom? I have the entire legions of Hell at my command Enjoy it while you can, Skippy. -Black Mage in Hell (8-bit theater style) |

I'd love to see a copy at DaystromX@yahoo.com. I've
been working on a project that sounds really similar, and it would be cool
to see how you've done it. |

Here are the house rules that I instituted in my
game. House Rules 1. House Rules stand as listed unless a majority vote by the players and judge change them. 2. Any new House Rules added to this listing are to be voted on by the players and the judge. 3. At 1st level all characters start with maximum hit points for their beginning class. 4. At 1st level all characters start with maximum money for their beginning class. 5. All multiclassing rules apply. 6. Players can buy the following Skills for their characters as permanent Class Skills (if the skill would normally be considered a Cross-Class Skill by class or background) by spending 4 Skill points to buy the first 2 ranks in the skill; Craft (Int), Listen (Wis), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), & Spot (Wis). After the initial purchase the listed skill are then Class Skills for the character no mater what class the character takes. 7. Players can buy ranks in Knowledge [Local] as set forth on p.23 of the WOT manual allowing them access to Background Feats from other regions of the land. The judge must approve any Background Feat with rules that restrict it from being taken after first level once a Background has just been opened for a player to assign it to a character. 8. As a House Rule, when a character buys the appropriate levels of Knowledge [Local] it also opens the Background Skills from that region. 9. The judge and the judge alone grants’ any Ta’veren bonuses that a character gains. These bonuses can be revoked at any time. 10. The judge retains the right to seek a “Rules Lawyer Check” at any point in the game on a game subject to insure fairness and balance. If said subject is covered in a WOT game manual, and is not amended by an existing House Rule then the rules set forth in the WOT books will be used. If there are no rules for that subject in the WOT game books, and no standing House Rule exists, but a rule for the given subject is covered in another d20 game the judge retains the right to use this rule. 11. A player has the right to call for a “Rules Lawyer Check” as well. If either WOT manual does not cover the subject, or another d20 game, the judge will make a temporary rule to expedite the game and seek a more discernable answer from d20 game products and/or the Internet after the game. This has cut down on the amount of bickering among the gamers and made my life as judge easier. I think it's a fair balance but still alows for the judge to have the final say without hurt feelings. -------------------- Spinner of the Great Wheel, Apprentice Lord of the

These are great, but aren't rules 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9
already standard rules? -------------------- This is an old thing, boy. Older than Aes Sedai.
