House Rules

HP

Traits

Heirloom Weapon trait

• Heirloom Weapons allow an exotic weapon to be treated as a martial weapon.
  • a samurai with this feat could use a Katana
• Racial exotic weapons can be treated as proficient for that race (or half-race).
  • a half-elven wizard could use a Elven Curve Blade (normally only has access to simple weapons)
• At a cost of 150 gp, the weapon can be masterwork to start with.
  • this allows it to be enchanted later.

Bloodline Knack (Magical Trait)

• Benefit: For the purposes of bloodline powers, your sorcerer level gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn’t increase your sorcerer level higher than your current Hit Dice.
• Requirements: Magical Knack (sorcerer), Cha 13

Feats

Haft-Fighting

• Prerequisite: Proficiency with weapon which the feat is used.
• Benefit: When using any rigid weapon with improved reach (spears, polearms, but not whips or spiked chains) you may attack adjacent enemies with the haft of the weapon instead of your normal attack. This does 1d6 damage, x2 crit on a 20. The shaft of a weapon cannot be enchanted, is not masterwork, and the haft of an enchanted weapon has no special properties. Weapon Focus with the weapon gives a +1 to attack for purposes of haft-fighting. This feat can be taken as a Fighter Bonus Feat.

Mobile Spellcasting

• Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, Combat Casting, Caster level 4th
• Benefit: As a full-round action, you can move up to your speed and cast a single spell or spell-like ability with a casting time of a standard action or less at any point during your movement.
  • You also get a +4 bonus on concentration checks made to maintain a spell or spell-like ability after an attack of opportunity caused when you move out of or within a threatened area.

Class Clarifications

Magus

• Spellstrike: This ability allows a combat melee touch spell (such as cause light wounds, chill touch, or frostbite) to have its effects added to the effects of a melee weapon attack. This is no longer considered a touch attack. Using Spell Combat, the magus may then cast another spell with the free hand. This does not allow a additional weapon attack beyond the normal number for two-weapon combat.
  • Example: Magus casts chill touch with free hand defensively, then applies the spell effect to his sword (adding the effect to a successful weapon strike). With the other hand, magus then cast frostbite defensively, and attempts a touch with it.

Class Options

Rogue Talents

Dirty Fighter (Ex) - For those who love the Dirty Trick Combat Maneuver.

Thief (Ex) - For those who love the Steal Combat Maneuver.

• Author's Note: Dirty Trick and Steal are two cool Combat Maneuvers added in the Advanced Player's Guide, but because they are Combat Maneuvers, BAB is very important for determining the success of these moves. For the same reason that the Monk is allowed to use his level in place of his BAB for grapples, trips, etc., a properly trained Rogue should be able to perform these two combat maneuvers with the same ease as a Fighter, Barbarian, Ranger, or Monk.

Magic Item Creation Rules

• If the spell can't be made into a consumable item and/or you can't cast the spell on someone else, or an item already exists (but might not be as good), then it probably shouldn't exist. (Shield, Expeditious Retreat comes to mind.)
• If the spell does not thematically fit, then it probably shouldn't exist. (Barkskin on hulking armored warrior comes to mind.)

Creation Restrictions:

• Magic Item Formula: A character with a magic item creation feat (such as Brew Potion or Craft Wondrous Item) knows 2 + 1/2 level (rounded down) + Intelligence modifier formulas for creating magic items. New crafting formulas may be gained in a similar manner to scrolls (found in treasure or purchased from others), although many crafters are unwilling to share their formulas.
  • Example: This means a 3rd level wizard with a 20 intelligence and Craft Wondrous Item feat would know how to create 8 wondrous items.
• Spellcraft cannot be used to bypass:
  • Caster Level requirements. CL should be minimum level to take the feat, 3x bonus for magic weapons and armor, and the minimum level to cast the requisite spells.
  • Spell prerequisite on Spell Completion or Spell Trigger activated items, such as wands, staves, and scrolls.
• Staff Pricing: Many of the prices for staves in the APG, for instance, are half the cost they should be when you try to replicate them using the staff creation rules. This appears just to be sloppy writing with no proof checking - they used the crafting equation to determine the "cost to craft" for the core rules staves, and called it the "market value" for many of the APG staves, making them half the price they should be. This error isn't universal in the APG though, so you need to check each staff by hand before using its crafting value.
• The "100% first, 75% second, 50% other powers" rule for unslotted items was intended to apply to staves and other items that all come off the same charge pool or "per day use" pool.
