1. Roll at the beginning of combat, each novel getting s roll. 2. Highest total goes first, but then we just go clockwise. 3. Players can switch positions before NPCs go, especially if one is having to look up spells. It really speeds things up, and — while rewarding a high initiative roll —...

I ran a monstrous Holiday 1-shot a couple of years ago. Players were all monstrous races from VGM, and I set them up to rob a town. The townsfolk were all werereindeer and actually killed one of the PCs. They fought a snowman and met a ranger named Kringle. They were eventually captured by...

Here's one I made for a player who wanted to try one: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/rJ-SM3Hocl

Actually, just this week on The Happy Fun Hour, he admits that his Bonus Action issue is just with Teo Weapon Fighting. I do like the idea of using some of the Action Options in the DMG (p.271-72) such as Mark, Overrun, and Tumble.

I think a lot of people use the "cliff" save use; I'll add that. I'll have to think about how the changing object reaction would work, worth thinking about. I don't think the Dodge action lets you haul ass; there's no movement involved.

I must say the DMG has been the book I still keep realizing there is more to discover. I'll have to go look at those. Thanks

My intent was that "after being targeted" implied after the attack and damage if any; I'll edit that above. Thanks.

1. For my groups, and especially since we rarely play beyond 7th level, adding another option of something to do on a turn makes allows a player like a bard who misses on their 1 attack have something they can do, may allow some creativity. 2. I had gotten rid of the 5' move restrictions but...

One thing that I have often seem to be confusing about about 5e rules is the use of bonus actions and reactions. This confused me when I began as well. Players ask, what can I do as a bonus action? Well...if your class or race says you have something to use you can. For a reaction, you can use...

Mearls says this is his house rule, but it seems like he’s sharing it more as a way to get feedback than as s glimpse inside his game.

We made quite a few changes: - made Strahd CR 18 and seeking to expand his reign over other areas of the Dread Domain - made Rahadin a vampire who goes to Vallaki to collect taxes - made Lucien (in Morgantha's sack) Strahd's reincarnated son Erasmus - turned Ernst (Fiona's spy) into a scheming...

I like the idea of making it different than using a heavier weapon by making it more flexible in the sense that it could be used for a better attack or better defense.

Yeah, I actually like it better if there are no dinosaurs so that it stays distinct from Chult. And we might get new stat blocks for these.

But are they dinosaurs? It looks more like mammals resembling a camel/giraffe and a bull/longhorn.

Winter wolves are monstrosities. You have non-earth beasts like flying snakes or monkeys or eagles that understand language. You even have cranium rats with psychic powers that are beasts. You have beasts like Tressym, Rothe', and Stench Kows with at least semi-magical abilities.

sorry for the repeat thread -- please delete

My game store owner gave me a copy. I read the first few pages and realized it might be what our 1st time DM of Dragon Heist was looking for to start the adventure so I sent him the link: https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Rolled-Told/Issue-0?id=136999#2. He placed the dungeon crawl in the Yawning...

One of the most fun campaigns I have been a part of was started at zero-level so no classes.We played probably 6 sessions of that before the PCs found an academy that taught classes, and that came too soon because the zero level so much fun and led to so much creativity and role-play.

Have you ever watched him eat? He bites everything into pieces that fall out of his mouth and swallows nothing!
