Inspired by the other house rules post, I decided to throw together a quick sheet of house rules which I think fix up 4th Edition rather nicely, without breaking the spirit of 4th Edition style play. I've attached a PDF i've been working on... give it a read, offer suggestions; i'm very open to interpretation and rule lawyering on the wording provided. I would like to make the PDF as well polished as possible and release it to the wild. www.roll4initiative.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/House-Rules.pdfThanks guys! |

Highly polished presentation. Although I would never enforce it, the Table Talk rule would sometimes be useful. However, for reasons I don't understand, it's antithetical to everything on page four. I think the items on page four run disrupt the believability of representing the world and therefore, the ability of players to roleplay their characters.

I think the items on page four run disrupt the believability of representing the world and therefore, the ability of players to roleplay their characters. True, the rules on page 4 might only be useful with a group reluctant or not used to role-playing. Although, if you're roleplaying anyways, wouldn't those rules just essentially add a bonus to the players? What i'm trying to do is encourage / reward people for roleplaying in 4E. We played a session with the house rules involved and it was by far our best / most fun session yet. The way I worked the table talk, was any time they started discussing strategies, depending on what was going on, i'd either remind them or start rolling dice. Once someone else speaks, I rolled the dice again, eventually they got the idea that they were being 'too loud', and got straight into RP'ing. I appreciate the insight / objectivity. I think further discussion or alteration would be needed to make this even better. |

it looks like some of this is being addressed with D&D Essentials. I will have to wait until I've read the Rules Compendium before releasing it.
