Everyone wants to make their combat more exciting. In this video we're going to give you some pretty radical ways to not just tweak your D&D 5e combat, but to re-invent it into something totally new and different.
Tell us in the comments: How will YOU re-invent combat?
We hope that these combat ideas for 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons goes beyond what you're doing now, and helps you turn your encounters into something totally different.
CHAPTERS:
00:00 - Intro
00:27 - Don't Count Movement (Tim) -- just be where you want to be.
02:30 - You Have Permission to Change Things (Jeff): Chuck the things that don't work at your table.
04:28 - Everybody Hits (Jeff): no more failing in combat (and it's a two-sided street).
7:00 - James Breaks Combat (with examples): Look at encounter goals and change up what rules you use to simulate what's happening. (This gets a little game-design-ey, but it's worth it.)
10:45 - How will YOU re-invent combat? Comment below!
11:25 - TabTerian Toast! Grab a drink!
11:42 - End Card
We hope this video helped your combat, and we can't wait to see how you re-invent your 5e combat!
