While grappling has its limits, I can think of several fun ways to make the monsters use it. a) A giant crocodile bites an opponent, grapples it and sinks back to the bottom of the river, biting the poor restrained character with advantage and trying to drown it while he holds its breath. b) A...

One of the reasons the game was unchallenging for my players is I let them roll 4d6k3 for their stats, hence most of them having 1 or 2 stats at 20 as soon as they hit the 4th level. What I feel was unbalanced is the disparity between the PC's attack bonuses, spell DC's and saving throws...
