@@XPtoLevel3 My DM gave my group potions of water breathing to get past a flooded section of a cave. Something similar to that, plus a homebrewed potion of Water Walk, could make for an encounter where they start underwater and have to drink a potion Water Walk to quickly get to the surface. Possibly after being attacked by a water weird. It would still be invisible in the water, but the water would act like ground they can walk on, so at least it has to shoot out of the water to attack. But with the chart, they could end up permanently gaining water walk and trapped because they can't swim out, or they might just explode underwater. Either way, it sounds like fun.

A mechanic that I add to “Bringing back the Dead” is called “Never the same”. Basically, when you die and brought back, you can loose entire memories, personally traits and tastes. After a time the character that died starts creating new things that replenish the ones that are lost forever. This can lead to moments like a character that used to hate drows, now is very merciful towards them. And can lead to sad moments like a father completely forgetting about the existence of his daughter or vice-versa.

I really love that Tasha's Cauldron has a section where it encourages players to consider re-flavoring their spells and whatnot to better fit their character. The example they give is a farmer wizard shooting magic missiles that look like chickens, or an Artificer's Cure Wounds being a mechanical spider that sutures injuries. I've always loved doing things like that, so it's cool to see them acknowledge it. I have an eldritch knight who is a skeleton, so I utilize that in his spells. I renamed his Fire Bolt to Burning Bone, and it has him throw a flaming femur or launch his fist at enemies like a rocket punch.

My favorite Homebrew rule: "While not required, players may gain Inspiration by writing a journal entry before each session of play. Entries can be posted on the Adventure Log (secret entries can be set so only the DM can view). Posting journal entries helps everyone better understand your character and helps the DM better tailor the game to each character. Entries do not need to be in first person, or even in a journal format. For example, you may find it preferable to write about something in your character’s backstory or draw a scene from the previous session etc."

I also award my players inspiration at the start of the session for either crafting or drawing something connected to their character or the story. For example one was playing a dragonborn rogue obsessed with gold, who had covered her claws in molten gold during a session. She crafted herself little "golden" claws to put on her hand. Of course not everyone enjoys crafts or writing journals, but even my barbarian player who "couldn't draw" had a lot of fun drawing his magical weapons, with flaming skulls and so on, which made them even more special to him. The last obstacle is still trying to draw their pet horse named "cheese", since horses are... hard.

One rule that I love is the Tool Proficiency rules in Xanathar's. It's basically a section that tells you what's in each toolkit, different ways you can use your tools to make checks, and examples of things you can use to craft with them. It really takes a part of the game that's often just seen as useless or only for roleplay, and makes it something that can impact a character's decisions.
@AnaseSkyrider
@AnaseSkyrider 2 года назад
They had items like "crowbar"s which give advantage on a check in a particular situation, and then just kinda stopped. Tools are weird in the economy of 5e design, and "advantage on these types of checks" that's still based on an ability (preferably also a skill) is the best slot for it. I also just like them because they're combos of items that fit a purpose, in a way that's really useful. Tracking every single inventory knick-knack is so tedious. A bundle of stuff is way better. I don't need to carry "aN iRoN pOt", I have Cook's Utensils which comes with one.
@aurora5481
@aurora5481 2 года назад
Yeah, I really love them too. Specifically in the campaign with a Phantom Rogue who can swap out a tool or skill proficiency at every long or short rest, that page has gotten bookmarked. The party is struggling to get information from stonework, the high Int characters are either not present or not hitting the DCs, so the low Int character asks for a short rest (only 10 mins in our games) to talk to his ghost friends, and a mason whispers information into their ear. They're still not proficient in all of history, but even with a negative modifier, the DC is now lower and they get to add the proficiency bonus in the roll as even if the mason doesn't know the history of architecture, they can tell now how old the technique is and how much the environment should have eroded the broken parts in two, three, four hundred years, and now they can give an answer. Not all tools are created equal on that list, but it helps a little anyway and definitely helps teach players to ask, "can I add my proficiency bonus to this, from [tool]?", and the DM to say, "you're profient with [tool], so you _also_ know that..."

@@doing_aok To be fair, not everyone follows The Magic of Artifice textblock to the letter. I prefer my artificers to be explicitly magical. It especially helps in non-Ebberon games when you don't feel obligated to insert nanobots healing wounds or something into a medieval setting, and can just say that you know how to weave magical spells into items or can focus your magic through tools. To be honest, it's no more ridiculous to me that an artificer can just channel magic through lockpicks, needles, hammers, or other tools than for a wizard/druid to channel magic through a wood stick. Just take a look at the official artwork for Arcane Armor; it's covered in runes. An armorer using their armor as a focus is basically casting spells through their armor, as opposed to a wizard's staff. No hidden compartments filled with bombs to "cast" Shatter needed.

One rule I like that's a bit more nitty-gritty mathy is the ruleset for Mob Combat . It basically lets you have mass combat with players that dynamically change to different groups or regular small combats, without spending 30 minutes each round to move NPCs around and roll 60 dice. It takes a bit to learn but when you understand it, it lets you have the players go up against entire platoons without things feeling like they take too long. And if they get one squad down to one or two units, you just immediately shift those few units to normal rules, since they work in conjunction with regular combat rules.

@@jcdenton2187 page 250 of the DMG, it covers mob combat. The idea behind it is, when you have enough units, you can expect a certain percentage of attacks to hit each round that gets more consistent as you go on. So the idea becomes, if you have a LOT of units, you don't roll for them, you just assume that a certain amount of them hit based on AC vs ATK, and they always deal average damage.

What annoys me is how people shit on the "exploration" pillar of 5e as if it's some anemic unrepresented minor focus that's barely mentioned, when the DMG has a good, proper section that has weather effects with consequences, altitude, climate, navigation and rules on getting lost etc etc. Exploration is a pillar that has to be supported by the DM just like the other pillars do. It'd be like saying combat is anemic because the GM has to roll the dice for the monsters instead of having it be all spelled out to be easy.

@Rajoovi1
@Rajoovi1 Год назад
@@kid14346 I don't see why it needs to be any more complicated than that personally. Rations are items, that are consumed. If the party does not have them, they take a point of exhaustion for every day without food. The same for water. You can fail foraging. It makes players think about travel time and preparedness in wilderness scenarios. This rule pairs really well in a setting where you are far from civilization and therefore cannot just *buy* some rations at a shop. Say the party needs to navigate some sort of arid lands to get to a dungeon. They can only afford/the local town only has 6 rations and the equivalent water. In a straight line, and if they don't get lost, the dungeon is 3 or days of travel away. Suddenly rolling poorly on survival and becoming lost for several hours can have *dire* consequences. Not doing well on a survival check to forage food once your rations run out means you don't bring back enough food for everyone, say you only manage to scavenge 3 lbs of food for a party of 5. Which 2 don't get to eat that day? There doesn't need to be any more mechanical complexity to create interesting challenges and dire scenarios if the existing mechanics are used in tandem, as they're supposed to be.

I just want to say that I'm super happy that you're actively being positive about 5e. It seems to be a large part of the community to say "argh 5e bad, WotC not do anything how I like it," when there's really so much great stuff out there. I too recently found that the DMG was way better than people give it credit for, and a lot of the complaints about what 5e doesn't have tends to actually be in there. There's definitely stuff to dislike about it and be disappointed in, but it's just refreshing to see that there are people that still find the good in the game regardless.

5e is easy to use and new players can be brought in relatively easy.... that's the reason I like it. I have tried 4 times to get into 3.5 and bought some old books for it along with having groups that tried to play, it never went past session zero, we were all new to it each time with a slightly different group for each run we tried. They got bored and went home before finishing their characters. I'm not asking to argue about this so read this next part you. Yes you. The one angry typing about how I'm wrong. These are people, I can't control how they react, I wasn't Dm and it was a public setting at a Tabletop cafe. I'm pointing out part of why so many people play 5e. It's simplified and when people try to expand it things get messy because there are so many ways too interpret things. People are stubborn and sometimes refuse to meet you halfway. Hell I tried to get them to play with only a d20 and a character description as a trial rub because I knew the people playing needed to be hooked before you hit them with the huge wall that is da rulez.

I think our only "house rule" is that drinking a potion you have in an accessible location on your person is only a bonus action. Feeding it to someone else is still an action.
@foxboy64
@foxboy64 Год назад
​@@MonkeyJedi99 i always viewed the potion-taking-an-action thing as being more because pulling a cork out of a bottle isn't as easy and seamless as video games and movies make it seam, than it simply being difficult to find in your packs. for it to be a bonus action i would make my players not only keep it super accessible but also commission quick release bottle stoppers, or make them themselves. keep in mind that rounds are 6 seconds long. a bonus action is something one could reasonably say happens in 1-1.5 of those seconds, while the action and movement take up the rest of the time. i doubt you could pull the potion out, unstopper it, and chug the whole thing in one second, unless you had a bandoleer of potions and could flick the cork off with your thumb.

A tip on managing weather since you mentioned you have trouble with it; completely ignore any rules or mechanics about it. Weather is a tone-setting tool and when played into gives players extra immersion and often changes how they play. It just happens to sometimes have mechanical consequences but that's what Advantage/Disadvantage is here for.

Weather is also great to corrall players somewhere. I once wanted my players to experience a weird, quirky building - but when traveling they tend to prefer ignoring buildings and caves and just camping on the roadside to more quickly go from point A to B. But if there's a high-wind thunderstorm, well... No camping for you. Gotta seek shelter.

Great vid Jacob but I was truly hoping you would have mentioned Keth Ammann's book; "The Monsters Know What They Are Doing". Though not a 'rule-book', it is an incredible resource for DMs on how to effectively run their "Bad Guys" in confrontations. He adheres directly to the "Monster Manual" for stats, acknowledging you can easily punch up or punch down your beasties abilities dependent on party size and XP/Level. This Gentleman and/or his Editor also did an amazing job collating enemies by Type (i.e. one chapter is dedicated just to Undead, another to Aberrations, one for Devils, etc). Cannot recommend it highly enough.

The reason people are talking about "5.5e" and "6e" is because WotC has pulled this trick before. 3.5 was, effectively, a new edition -- sure it had *some* backwards-compatibility with 3e, but there was enough that was different that it was effectively a different beast. Also, as late as a couple weeks before the announcement of 4e, they said there were no plans in the works for 4e, despite the products coming out really feeling like test beds for new mechanics. So excuse me if I take any of WotC's assurances that this new set isn't a new edition with a wheelbarrow of salt. WotC's earned my skepticism.

One of my favourite rules/sections in a dnd book is the Draconomicon section of Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons. It’s that section in Volo’s you talked about but for each of the True Dragons (chromatic, metallic, gem) as well as some other dragons like Fairie Dragons, Shadow Dragons, Dracoliches, Dragon Turtles, Moonstone Dragons, and Deep Dragons. It goes over (with tables) each stage of life if that specific dragon in what they want, what they’re doing, what their hoard is compiled of, different creatures that they would have as minions/helpers/worshipers, and most of them also have a stock lair map that gives you an idea of what their lair would look like to expand on them. Speaking of lairs it also adds some lair actions and regional effects aside from what was already included with the creature stat sheet. It’s really really really cool and pairs well with my other favourite section in that same book which is the Dragons in Play chapter which is all about creating and developing dragons as unique creatures with everything ranging from quirks, personality traits, additional features, spells, fun stuff called Hidecarved Runes, and different factions that dragon may be apart of and/or lead. All in all Fizban’s is a pretty cool book and if you’re gonna do anything with a dragon I recommend it

Homebrew rule: as a free action, 3 or more characters with shields can “wall up,” increasing their cover by a quarter and granting all members reaction against foes who strike their wall-buddies.

A Great Old One will allow to search from a person deep memories and thoughts once per day; A ArchFey will allow you to form the Feywild’s Contract on creatures; A Undead may grant you the Vampire’s Regeneration feature; HexBlade will grant you features such as Action Surge, Favorite Enemy(Or Foe) and Smite.

Very similar to yours, but instead of being "too much damage" it was just made because of "roly-poly" experience in a fight in the old bonegrinder - whole team positioning to keep the hags in other floors and fighting only one at a time and quickly healing however gets knocked out back up the same turn like 17 times in a single fight that they weren't suppose to even fight made me do it.

Being a LOOOONG time player you are on the money. RPG's and D&D have always put out new editions. It's called a cash stream.
