    D&D 5E (2024) Rank 5e skills from most useful (1) to least useful (18)

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    My giant alligator got clobbered by an upcast Inflict Wounds that crit. There was much rejoicing/sadness that day.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Yeah, we've had similar. But its rarer than long rest interruptions. (statistically this makes sense, longer you stay in one place etc...)

    Do events ever cause interruptions of a short rest in your games?

    D&D General Two Simple Ways to Make Combat More Engaging

    I like your rule, but would like to mention that it is dependent upon the table. Our current group has several people with anxiety or neurodivergent concerns, and pressure as a tool will just lock them right up. For those folks I find one of the examples listed above to be best: i.e. talking...

    How about the fact that, say a dog lists keen senses (hearing and smell) and detects something it couldn't see? Not to continue the debate from other threads, just curious your thoughts on this.

    And the roleplaying cues might be missed by new DMs. (Dogs better stats cause of SMELL might be overlooked)

    We called "Tiny Hut" Leomund's Tiny Bunker. They use it in combat. (we have a lot of military folks playing) And in 2024 you can cast 4th level spells out of it!

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    I feel the designers are/were right. DM designs adventures based on their party/group. The pacing that works in your game, may not work in mine. As far as encounter balance, its more of an art than a science. If players are habitually going alpha on goblins and ogres, then a dragon shows...
