Well I will play with DM that likes to homebrew is game. A lot. So this is probably the best place to discuss if these rules/buffs/nerfs/adds are good/bad and how balanced are they.
(All official WotC material is legal including UA but the DM has to approve those before one can use them).
The brews of the house:
MUNDANE EQUIPMENT:
Composite bow: 1d8 150/600 you can add your Str mod to the damage (max 2). If someone with less than 10 Str uses this weapon they get disadvantage on the attack
Throwing knife: 1d2 40/80 the knife is destroyed after it is used as a throwing weapon. If you use this weapon in melee you get disadvantage to the attack roll. I you use the action to attack and have two weapon fighting and a free hand you can throw two knifes as part of the same attack. If you have 14 Dex drawing a knife does not require an action.
Catching padded armor: light armor 11 AC +Dex. Reduce by 3 the damage from small projectiles such as arrows, daggers, darts ecc.
Chain mantle: medium armor 13 AC +Dex max 2. This mantle can be used as armor but the only thing that keeps it attached to you is a single leather strip, as an object interaction you can remove this armor.
Multi-plates armor: heavy armor 17 AC. The multiple plates sacrifice some of the durability of the full plate armor but you are able to move easly. You do not have disadvantage on stealth checks.
Buckler: +1 AC. This shield leaves the hand free. If that hand is used you do not gain the benefit from the shield but it can held object with no penalities.
Tower shield wood/metal: +3/4 AC. As an action you can put the shield on the ground and consider it as a 5×10 feet wall in one side of your square (you get full cover but a spellcaster can still target the shield. The shield is so massive and so heavy that you take a -2/3 penality on attack rolls while you are using it. You can use a tower shield only if you are proficient in both shields and heavy armor.
Spikes: a metal armor can have metal spikes on it. If you are in a grapple or you receive an unarmet attack you deal 1 P damage to the opponent. Your unarmed strikes deal 1 P extra damage, if the armor has gauntlets the damage is increased by 2 instead.
Reinforcements: applicable only to clothes, robes or light armor, this leather reinforced adds make the armor heavier so it is considered as a medium armor and requires the corresponding proficiency (you still get the full Dex bonus). If you have no weapon, focus or shield you get +1 to the AC and +1 to unarmed attack and damage rolls
FEATS:
All feats that provided a an ability score increase no longer provide them (with the only exeption being HAM);
Keen Mind, provides an extra prepared spell;
Heavy Armor Master, keeps the +1 to Str;
Sharpshooter, the malus to hit is decided by you and can be up to your level to a maximum of +5 at lv 5 and you deal twice the malus as bonus damage;
Expertise (is now also a feat), choose a skill that you are proficient in you double your proficiency bonus for that skill's checks;
War Caster, the feat doesn't provide advantage on Con saves to maintain a spell if another spellcaster used magic to trigger the ST;
Observant, you get a +2 on active perception and investigation skill checks (the passive bonus is still +5);
Tough, the hp bonus is halved (+1 per level instead of +2);
Lot of feats have stat requirements or higher ones (most notably magic initiate requires 13 in that class spellcasting ability).
CLASS FEATURES:
You get feats for "free", one at lv 1 and one more at lv 5, 9, 13, 17, 20. The DM is willing to homebrew to accomodate roleplay at the cost of a feat, like 1/rest use of wildshape, or you can craft your spell (it still need to be approved by the DM first), these custom feats can be chosen only at lv 1, 9, 17 and 20.
The ASI is 1 ability score and happens once at every even level (the figher with the 6th and 14th level score increase gets 3 points or a feat and 1 point);
A PC can't get 18 or above in any ability before lv 4 and can't get to 20 before lv 10;
The bonus HP gained from leveling can be determined by a roll or the average resoult. If the player decides to roll he is entitled to roll the dice a number of times equal to his Con modifier (min 1 max 3) and choose the resoult that he prefers. Than you add your Con modifier and other bonus (tough, hill dwarf racial, dragon sorcerer ecc...)
At lv 1 you get two weapon fighting combat style (in addition to the rest of the class features);
Berserk sublass is buffed, frenzy exaustion are recovered 2 at a time allowing it to be used twice every adventuring day with little to no consequences, intimidating presence DC can depend (player's choice) on Cha or Str but if the opponent has higher Str than the barbarian he gets advantage on the save.

lv 3 magic weapon, Nystul's magic aura
lv 5 counterspell, magic circle
lv 7 arcane eye, Leomund's secret chest

lv 6 spell breaker: when you use an healing spell on an ally you can end one spell effect on him (only spells of level equal or lower than the spell slot used to cast the heal can be dispelled this way).
lv 8 cantrip get Wis to damage
lv 17 you can add one wizard spell of each lv 6 7 8 9 and add them to you domain spells, they are now cleric spells.
If a circle of the moon druid's wild shape is broken you are incapacitated for 1 round.
At lv 14 moon druids upgrade the forms they can take to creatures of 1/3 of your druid level level
New fighting style:
Unarmed fighter, your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 damage and if you used your attack action to make an unarmed attack you can spend a bonus action to make another unarmed attack.

Every maneuver consumes a combat point if such cost is listed in that maneuver's description. You can use these maneuvers only if you have both hands free and do not wear heavy armor. You can use only one maneuver per round unless otherwise noted. Some maneuvers have special requisites to be learned listed in the description.
Maveuvers:

You can use this maneuver after a Clinch. Choose one of the following when you perform this maneuver: Eyes, Throat, Ears and Genitals (creaures with an unusual sumber of any of this body parts or with non discernible anathomy are not affected by this maneuver).

Superman Punch (req. lv 5 and 17 Str): When you make an unarmed strike you feint a kick to lower the opponent's guard from the upcoming pounch. The opponet makes an insight check opposed by your maneuver DC. On a fail your attack becomes a critical. (This maneuvers has no effect on creatures with an intellect too low or none at all)

Weirdly no lv 18 feature. The DM would probably add one if someone will play one up to that level.
My very own addition and what I will play as:
Lv 3:
Board Techniques:
When you are wielding a shield you can use the following maneuvers
•Bash
You can use your shield as a weapon it deals 1d4 B damage. If you use the shield this way you lose the bonus to AC untill the beginning of your next turn. At lv 7 the shield dmage dice increase to 1d6 and increase again to 1d8 at lv 10, 1d10 at lv15 and 1d12 at lv 18 ( I discussed and concluded that a progression from 1d4 to 1d8 is better since no one handed weapon deals more than 1d8 but I asked the DM if it was ok to take it all the way to 1d12 and who would ever refuse extra average damage?). A magical shield with a +1/2/3 bonus adds his bonus as if it was a weapon when it is used as one.
•Shield Projection:
When you take the Attack Action and after you attack a creature you can use your bonus action to make an athletic check opposed by your that creature athletic/acrobatic check. If you win you can move up to half your speed and push the opponent in the same direction if his size is up to one size larger than you.

If you use your shield to make a Bash attak you can keep your shield bonus.
•Advanced Shield Projection:
You can move up to your speed instead of half. If you and the opponet moved at least 10 ft. the opponent makes a Dex save (DC 8+Pro. bonus+Str mod.) or falls prone.
•Advanced Wall Splat:
After you Wall Splat a creature that creature make a Con save (DC 8+Prof bonus+Str mod.) on a fail all attacks against it have advantage untill the beginning of your next turn, on a success it offers advantage only on the next attack made against it.
Lv 15
Perfect Stance:
If you are wielding your shield you are considered in half-cover against all attacks against creatures that you can see.
Lv 18
Resonating Strike:
When you deal damage to a creature with a Bash you can make that creature take a Con save (DC 8+Prof bonus+Str mod.) on a fail it will have disadvantage on his next Int, Wis or Cha save. If the creature succeds the save it is immune from this feature untill the beginning of his next turn.
You get two weapon fighting as combact style.
New feature:
Magic Recycling

Board Techniques:
When you are wielding a shield you can use the following maneuvers
•Bash
You can use your shield as a weapon it deals 1d4 B damage. If you use the shield this way you lose the bonus to AC untill the beginning of your next turn. At lv 7 the shield dmage dice increase to 1d6 and increase again to 1d8 at lv 10, 1d10 at lv15 and 1d12 at lv 18 ( I discussed and concluded that a progression from 1d4 to 1d8 is better since no one handed weapon deals more than 1d8 but I asked the DM if it was ok to take it all the way to 1d12 and who would ever refuse extra average damage?). A magical shield with a +1/2/3 bonus adds his bonus as if it was a weapon when it is used as one.
•Shield Projection:
When you take the Attack Action and after you attack a creature you can use your bonus action to make an athletic check opposed by your that creature athletic/acrobatic check.
