Do you guys like using stuff like wound points, heroic points, sanity, advantage/disadvantage. Shield shattering? Weapons breaking? race as class? Etc. What kind of stuff do you like to add or modify? If any?

I think I've tried them all. More consistently, in games I run, I allow shield shattering and an extra attack for fighters that kill one of their opponents. Our group uses hero/luck points a lot in games I play in, for my own games I prefer just to let thieves have a re-roll once per day.

Never heard of the thieves reroll once a day rule. Is that just on thieving skils or any roll a thief does?

Any roll that affects them only, in game terms the thief is seen as "extraordinarily lucky". So it could be an attack on the thief that was a killing blow, or a poison saving throw, for example. However, if a re-roll gives the same result, it stands.

Oh ok, well that makes sense. I've never heard of that rule, but I like it.
