This is the practice of adjusting 3.5 mechanics such that every class is within the same [[tier]][http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=5293]. It's a relatively easy way to "fix" D&D 3.5 to a reasonable level, without having to outright brew up a whole new game. The more or less agreed-upon houserules from /tg/ for doing so are as follows.
One night /tg/ was reading Karl Marx and decided the [[Tier System|class system]] was a sham -- not because it isn't true (it is), but because people should be able to play a fighter without being out-gunned by skinny old men in pointy hats.


==Tier 3==
* Use Tier 3 classes unmodified; Tiers 1 & 2 are the 'why do I need to be in a party?' superstars.
All Tier 1 and 2 classes are banned unless otherwise noted. Things tier five or below are generally not advisable unmodified. Everything else is acceptable without modification unless otherwise noted.
* Druids are okay if you use the Bard's spell slots; or ditch Druids and use Wildshape Rangers instead.
* Fighters add 1/2 their level to weapon damage and to initiative rolls.  They can do Full Attack with a mere standard action.  They get 6 skill points (+Int) per level.  Or give up on vanilla fighters and go Warblade.
* Rogues and Warlocks should be merged.
* Healer class uses the Spontaneous Divine Casters variant from d20SRD.


Druids get spells at the bard rate or just use Wildshape Rangers.

Fighters add 1/2 their level to weapon damage and initiative, make full attacks as a standard action, and get 6 skill points per level, but honestly you're still probably better off just going Warblade.
 
Rogues and Warlocks are gestalted together.
 
Healer is now spontaneous.

One night /tg/ was reading Karl Marx and decided the class system was a sham -- not because it isn't true (it is), but because people should be able to play a fighter without being out-gunned by skinny old men in pointy hats.

  • Use Tier 3 classes unmodified; Tiers 1 & 2 are the 'why do I need to be in a party?' superstars.
  • Druids are okay if you use the Bard's spell slots; or ditch Druids and use Wildshape Rangers instead.
  • Fighters add 1/2 their level to weapon damage and to initiative rolls. They can do Full Attack with a mere standard action. They get 6 skill points (+Int) per level. Or give up on vanilla fighters and go Warblade.
  • Rogues and Warlocks should be merged.
  • Healer class uses the Spontaneous Divine Casters variant from d20SRD.
