The Player’s Handbook along with the other source books don’t really explain their reasoning for a lot of the rules. You have to keep in mind the in-game reason with respect to the game design reason.
#HOW TO HOMEBREW D&D FULL#
Sure, it may not be realistic to carry around 6 suits of full plate armor that you just looted off of the caravan delivery that was meant to go to the Allfaith Temple in Red Larch but hey, they were just NPCs and we caught them telling a little fib… “They had to burn.”īut let’s not focus so hard on “what’s realistic” since we’re sitting around a table playing a game with dragons and floating eye beats that can disintegrate. Alternatively, you could just give everyone a Bag of Holding – but let’s not and say we never will. For you and your table, a certain rule may seem pointless or unfun (like the encumbrance rules for so many tables) and so it’s easy enough to eschew rules like that. One of the primary goals that the game designers had was to keep things streamlined while still providing reliable guidelines for play.
as much as I can (keep it simple, stupid) – especially in the spirit of fifth edition. For now, it’s important to at least follow a few “rules” regarding homebrewing – for the benefit and sanity of all involved. I’ll speak about setting precedent in one of my DM guides later. It’s a veritable ocean of material, and you need to be careful what you incorporate into your game. Unarguably, the amount of unofficial material with respect to official material is staggeringly overwhelming. (This is how I knew they would be good – top quality stuff from those folks over the years). However, two of my most indispensable books – The Creature Codex and the Tome of Beasts are both written by “unofficial authors” and published by Paizo Inc along with Kobold Press.
In the case of Dungeons and Dragons 5E official books, such as the Player’s Handbook, this is NOT homebrew. Homebrew is anything created by someone that is not considered the official publisher. Adding to the game bits and pieces of your own creation while you play with other like-minded people is one of the many joys of this hobby. This is a game of collaborative imagination. The two that refer to character creation have been very popular and are among my favorites. Herein you will find the homebrew rules I often use at my table. However, over the years I have developed some of my own in addition to borrowing some from other tables or incorporating rules from other table-top games or past editions of Dungeons & Dragons. I don’t want to overwhelm them with even MORE material than they have.
