5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons

This page details how I use the 5th edition rules. Comments welcome.

Included Rules

For now, only the core rulebooks are allowed. This means the Player's Handbook, Monster Manual, and Dungeon Master's Guide. eg: Nothing from Volo's or Xanathar's.

Deviations

  • All races from the Player's Handbook are allowed with the following restrictions:
    • Dragonborn and Tieflings are not allowed.1)
  • All Variant Rules in the Player's Handbook are allowed – with the following comments:
    • Equipment Sizes (PHB, p.144): Using armor of a different size is allowed without modification. However, a day of this will incur one level of Exhaustion (PHB, p.291).
    • (others?)
  • Significant Injury Houserule: When a character drops to zero hit points, they acquire one level of Exhaustion (PHB, p.291). Every time they fail a death saving throw, they acquire one more level of Exhaustion.
  • Combat is typically done on a square-grid battlemat with miniatures.
1)
If you are passionate about running one of these races, discuss it with me and maybe we can work something out.
