Editing 3.5 Tier Fixing

This is the practice of adjusting 3.5 mechanics, so every class is within the same [[Tier System|tier]]. It's a relatively easy way to "fix" D&D 3.5 to a reasonable level without outright brewing up a whole new game. The more or less agreed-upon house rules from /tg/ for doing so are as follows.

* All [[Tier System#Tier 1|Tier 1]] and [[Tier System#Tier 2|2]] classes are banned unless otherwise noted. Things [[Tier System#Tier 5|Tier 5]] or below are generally not advisable unmodified. Everything else is acceptable without modification unless otherwise noted.
* [[Druid#Druids in 3e & PF|Druids]] are okay if you use the [[Bard#3rd Edition|Bard]]'s spells per day table. Alternatively, you can replace druids with the [[Variant Ranger#Unearthed Arcana|Wildshape variant Ranger]].
* [[Fighter#3rd edition|Fighters]] add 1/2 their level to weapon damage and initiative rolls. They can do Full Attack with a mere standard action. They get 6 skill points (+Int) per level. But you'll still be better off giving up on vanilla fighters and go [[Warblade]].
* [[Rogue#Rogues in 3rd Edition|Rogues]] and [[Warlock#3.5|Warlocks]] merged together as a single [[Gestalt character|Gestalt]] class 
* [[Healer#Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition|Healer]] class uses the [https://web.archive.org/web/20221228135348/http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/spontaneousDivineCasters.htm Spontaneous Divine Casters] variant from [[Unearthed Arcana#3e UA Content|Unearthed Arcana]].

A note from a graybeard who has found that [[Cleric#Third Edition|Clerics]] can also be somewhat more balanced, and probably even used, in most campaigns:
*Clerics are ok if using the Spontaneous Divine Casters variant rule (linked above) and the Bard's spells per day table.
