Here's a new one I'm planning to add for one particular game (it's being run to playtest a class)

rule: "Balance call" - since the purpose of the campaign is to test the balance of a class, any player, at any time, can make a "Balance call" against a character.  At that point - all play will stop, and the player is allowed to give the reasons that he feels the particular character is not balanced (underpowered/overpowered).  The person running that character is then allowed to respond with his defense.  At that point, all players will vote (tie being resolved by DM), if the vote returns positive (unbalanced), the character is to be retrained immediately to resolve the issues.  Play then commences where it left off.  A person may NOT place a "Balance Call" on his own character.

Let's see if I can remember them:

1. I was considering folding the Expertise and Defences feats into character levelling. They are feats that sort of muck up the fun of character options, since they are so superb that people very often lean towards getting them. I make it so they pick interesting feats and focus on their uniqueness, not their optimization.

2. I'm thinking that one scores an automatic miss on a natural 1, in Heroic tier. In Paragon, you have to confirm the automatic miss with another d20 roll, and only confirming on a natural 1. At Epic tier, you need to confirm twice. I feel this is appropriate because I don't think Demigods, Avatars, and Eternal types are going to utterly miss like buffoons one twentieth of the time. One in eight thousand sounds about right to me for Demigods and Avatars and the like. Haven't implemented the idea yet -- I'll see who likes it, though.

3. I liked the idea of a disarmed status (must take a minor action to end it), so I might include that as an attack one can make (with an Improved Disarm feat).

4. I concocted rules for sundering that seem fair enough. All sunderable items have a Break Value. When you hit them (automatic if they're on their own, but they have the defences of the person holding them when held), you must do damage equal to their Break Value, or BV, to break them. Breaking a magic item reduces it to residuum of a cost equal to the item. The BV is actually kinda steep, being as much as 25 at 5th level, and 50 at 10th. Level times five, or just 5 for mundane stuff. I actually haven't implemented this either, and I'm going to ask before daring to.

5. Trip rules for 4th Edition. Like bull rush, except it's Dexterity or Strength versus AC. All you do is knock 'em prone. It's not great, but it's simply an option. It can be done at any range that you can hit with your weapon, though. You could use a magic missile or an arrow to trip, for example. Again, not implemented yet. I don't think these rules will prove problematic at all, though.

6. I tend to reward people with Action Points when I feel they need some sort of reward. For example, in a pirate-y game I would reward pirate-y behaviour with action points. Within reason, though -- no PvP. Call me a softy.

Those are all I can think of at the moment. I usually don't houserule much stuff, but that may change after a few rules explorations. I find that 4th Edition leaves it up to the individual to breathe life into it, rather than being built with a specific kind of life for some to enjoy and some not to. So houserules seem like they were meant to be implemented.
