Dungeons and Dragons: Actually, it's the Dungeon you need to watch out for.

Funny thing is.. I hve seen more players killed by said dungeons more than the dragons at the end of them... Oh how many people have fallen to the "world is out to get you" design of creatures from older editions... like creatures that look like walls and ceilings... and mimics..... and the terrifying gelatinous cube...

had a party lose a member to a random encounter with a geletinous cube in a hallway. it was supposed to be an easy fight, but all of them somehow managed to fail their perceptions to see past it's translucence, so they walked directly into the thing.
it didn't help that the paladin somehow failed his fort save vs. paralysis.
my group now has an irrational fear of oozes.

I hear gust of wind and wind wall are pretty effective on thatch and wooden houses, but it's been a while since I looked at how houses with those features and those specific spells interact... so I could be wrong. Those spells don't do much against adobe or stone houses, though.
Edit: Wait... does that mean houses with ranks in craft (carpentry) and craft (stonemasonry) are self repairing?

We need to nerf houses.
Don't forget that they only cost 3 BP to create a non-specific number of them, and reduce your unrest by 1.
I'd recommend building a house with bricks imported from the infernal pit, giving it the fiendish template to make it a bit more fire resistant.

4750 hp AND it's the place where most accidents happen! The house is conspiring against its creator...

modest three story house
Well there's yer problem!

Don't forget about duplexes. Everything about a house, only doubled - including the number of actions it can take in a round.

A house only has to do 1 action.
~~~Ready Action~~~

The fiendish template gives them spell resistance too, right? The things have loads of hit points and spells just wash off them. And just think of the huge size bonuses to grapple. Houses aren't remotely balanced.
Nah... the spell resistance makes it harder to heal and buff, but a house with a huge grapple modifier, a basement, and swallow whole... yeah. That's dirty.

What if goblins are only burning down houses
Because they knew all along that houses are OP and are trying to help us???

99.9% of Goblins are naturally Lawful Good. You heard it here first, folks.

They seem to really hate people who build houses too or dog houses.

How about a large dog house with a grab ability on its bite to where it can swallow whole and has a gelatinous cube inside as its digestive system
oh dear what I have created....

So if I build a modest three story house, with four 10x10 ft. rooms per floor, divided by regular old masonry walls...
twelve 10x10 sections per floor, times three floors. Four more for a floor times four to make three floors and a roof, equals 16 plus the 36 before. 52.
Plus a front door and a back door, and doors to the four bedrooms on the second floor, and a door to the attic/third floor. Seven doors.
4,750 hit points. Hardness 8 for most of it.
We need to nerf houses.
In order to nerf houses, they must be made of Nerf(tm).

You are mixing up in order to nerf houses with ordering nerf houses.

Nerf (New Material)
Forged from foam in some fell laboratory, this ultrasoft material immediately detracts from the quality of a weapon or suit of armor. Weapons fashioned from nerf deal no damage except on a critical hit. A critical hit deals normal damage, but nonlethal. Armor made from nerf grants its wearer a -4 penalty on Diplomacy checks and provides no armor bonus. Nerf is so costly that weapons and armor made from it increase the DC to convince parents to purchase it by 10 ; the cost is included in the prices given below. Ammo made from nerf can be reused multiple times, but locating a piece of ammo after firing it requires a Perception check DC 35 and 1 hour of effort per 10x10 square.
Weapons and armor normally made of steel that are made of nerf have one-tenth their normal hit points. Nerf has 1 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness -1.

Clearly, Vod is trying to kill Santa and end Christmas.
Logically, this means that soon, the goblins will soon come to burn everything down in order to save Christmas. Which is clearly what they've been doing the whole time.

I hate their trample ability.
I mean seriously, have you ever had a house land on you? Its like insta death attack!
And if you're unlucky enough to be a Witch, you automatically take double damage.

Personally I like the AC options available to the Barn archetype. I know my Barn has always proven a nightmare to be hit my annoying melee types specially when it turns its broadside towards them.
In soviet nautical campaigns with firearms...Barns broadside you!

The fiendish template gives them spell resistance too, right? The things have loads of hit points and spells just wash off them. And just think of the huge size bonuses to grapple. Houses aren't remotely balanced.
It's entirely possible that you'd end up with a House of Fire.

Hey, if it's already going House of Fire 1, you may as well prestige a bit.

I just wanna say...
My players are going to hate you guys. They already hate the boards for inspiring me to stat out a creature that uses scent on light and eats it (thus leading to lots of dark vision)...
Now they're going to be terrified that every house, store, hut, barn, and warehouse is going to actually try and eat them. They're already terrified of Gazebos (Animate Object + Haunt rules + other home brew stuff = FUN!)....
I can see it now... A Large sized dog house, with legs, ears, and a tail. The entry-way full of adamantine teeth. It's innards? Full of Gelatinous Cube, and the floating remains of those who have disturbed it's master's grounds. The Master, of course, being the Colossal mansion that houses the soul of it's creator's wife, whom died during the construction, and until the still-beating eldritch heart of the Chelaxian opera diva is dug out of the foundation and destroyed, the house shall return every time it's destroyed, serving as both body and phylactery for the vile temptress. (Colossal house, lich archetype, siren's song).
Edit: Every night, the mansion sings soothing songs to the bones of it's pre-death lover, as it did in life, who's corpse rests still in the master bedroom. The song manifests as a haunting lullaby, spreading out from it's hilltop into the town below. Every night, at least one villager is drawn to the mansion while they sleep, wherein they disappear behind the closing, ivy-choked gates... [/edit]
*wrings hands evilly* Heh heh heh......
