Beefing up Combat in D & D
Dragons and Dice - A Dungeons & Dragons podcast
Welcome to Dragons & Dice, A Dungeons and Dragons podcast where I talk about all things D & D. I go over tips for players and DM’s. I make home brewed items that you can add to your games. I make random charts for your players to roll on. And at the end of each month I do a fantasy character build out as a Dungeons and Dragons character.
The Dreaded Negative Critical chart
1) Crit your pants - You hit your self
2) Sad - Turn ends, no other movement or actions
3) Friendly Fire - You auto hit closest ally
4) Slippy - You drop your weapon, arcane focus, instrument, etc and it takes a bonus action to pick it up
5) Emotional Truama - Skip next turn
6) Rage out - Standard Melee attacks next turn
7) Over think it - Spells only next turn, skip turn if you don’t have any.
8) Stubborn - Must redo the failed actions each turn until successful
9) Over Compensate - Must use your biggest spells and as many cool downs as possible next turn
10) Fear of Failure - No action next round
11) Scared - Must use all of your movement to flee the missed target.
12) Embarrassed - Disadvantage on next save or attack, give creature advantage on saves
13) Make an excuse - If the Dm likes it nothing, if not roll twice on the chart
14) Blame Placer - Pick a party memeber, an actual PC, no summoned monsters or pets and roll on the chart for them
15) Over Worked - Can only do 1 of action/ bonus action/ movement next turn
16) Brain Pain - 1d8 psychic damage
17) Contagious - Any on the moves with in 10 ft of your or finishes a turn there must roll. This doesn’t effect enemies
18) Think it over - You can’t speak until next turn if you do reroll
19) Learn from your mistakes - Advantage next roll
20) Balance - Hit! Max Damage

In this episode of Dragons and Dice, I redo the new 2024 ranger class. These are a few revisions that I think will make it shine. No more crappy cap stone and hunters mark problems here, this redone class is ready to rock your home D & D table. This is new and is a work in progress let me know if you find holes or exploits I have over looked. I hope you love it.

In this Episode of Dragons and Dice Emmy and I each make a couple of D & D character concepts and give you a templet for how you can do the same if you are stumped on what you want to be in your next Dungeons and Dragons game.
Character Creation Template
1)What Is this characters Job (like Pesto is a Chef)
2) Class and Species
3) Background that works with their job and how they got to your table
4) Some sort of flaw
5) What their general out look on life is(alignment)
6) Something that is unique about them
7) What their goal or driving force is (Like a lost brother)
8) What kind of Flavor can you add to the abilities and spells the PC has that ties in with everything above
9) Decide if you care about being optimal in combat or if you want your stat points to reflect the flavor up to this point.
