A net has no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the net. When you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to attack with a net, you can make only one attack regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make. Nothing I said can't be done in a ration way. You observer your bored in combat. You make a change. If its better you keep the change if not you return to your nomral play style and make a different change. You do this until you find what works for you. My list is just a group of suggestions of changes to try. The right change for you might not be on the list, which is why I asked for suggestion and got many. Your saying I am making assumptions but I am not. All I said is, if your having the problem of being board as GM, other are having this problem too (this is fact, I have multiple GMs who have had this problem) and here are some suggestions that helped others and might help you if you try them. I did not say you or anyone else is bored only that I know some poeple are they told me so and number of people on this thread said they were having this problem. I did not say these answer are all knowing and will fix your problems. They are recommendations from those who have had this problem and had some success fixing it at their table. My best hope is that it gives poeple a place to start and leads them to a solution that works for them.I am not saying you specificly are complaining. I mean "you" as in the meteorically you. Meaning this for those who are complaining. I did not intend to say what is specificly going on at your table. Your write the post if in response to others. The Dragon's being dumb weak HP problems was brought up as problem and I was just using as an example of "A GM has complaint, we are recommending possible fixes." You are not the only GM here and these fixes may not be relevant at your table. This thread is not about you. Its about help GMs who do have these complaints and problems. Why are you taking personally?I am saying my GMs did this. They have admitted as much and I have seen happen more than once. Dragons can make mistakes but what happens when a GM always plays his dragons as dumb slugfests? I have seen this. If your bored in combat is is a consideration that your doing something like this and if your doing with Dragons then its likely something your doing with all your big baddies. That is what I have seen with several GMs and I did not understand this was painful for them until recently. However, let me be clear. I don't know you. I don't know your table, and I am not making personal judgements off you or your table that I do not know and can not make. I am saying to those players that after reading the original post think that it might apply to you, the me and a number of other GMs have come up with ideas you can systematically and rationally try to fine a way to make playing fun again for you as GM. GMs who love making characters this if for you. I don't mean you Ruin Explorer unless your like making character and your interested in the discussion that follow. You Ruin Explorer have decided to apply personal intent and attack do a general take it or leave discussion to be come insulted personally. Please know I am not talking about you. I will gladly discuss this topic and take suggestions to help anyone this does apply to and they exist by their own words. I am one of the GMs who did not understand this and writting it and some of the suggestions I got because I wrote this post will help me.This is a thread to help GMs having problems with being bored while their players are still having fun. I have thoughts on players and tactical options, but that is not this thread. If you want to talk about the lack of player tactical options in 5E, you might consider making a thread about it. If I see it I might even join the discussion. This is totally up to you but not at all what we are talking about here.</blockquote>
