Table rules (not house rules) are something brought up in the beginning of the chapter that are really great for setting expectations in session 0, yet I hardly ever hear anyone talk about them. Chapter 8 has some really great advice on when to call for rolls of what kind, including a great sidebar about when to call for Intelligence checks vs. Wisdom checks. People often complain that there is no mechanical weight or structure to the exploration and social pillars, but DMG pages 242-245 contain exactly that. People often request features that already exist in the DMG, such as mass combat rules (see DMG 250), slower nonmagical healing (see DMG pages 266-267), morale mechanics (see DMG page 273), etc. There’s just a lot in the DMG that directly addresses common grievances with the game, but seems to go ignored.</p></blockquote><p></p>
