Master THIS skill to be a better DM
Added 2023-06-07 16:04:47 +0000 UTCHey friends!! A little light clickbait for you this week, because "action economy" is simply not a sexy and clickable phrase 😂 But I've been learning a lot about it and I've become convinced that it's maybe THEE most fundamental skill for DMing combat!
I've been moving away from any mechanically-focused topics this year, since I wouldn't consider it a strength of mine and I'd rather my channel be focused on storytelling and play, but this is just something that's been really helpful to me to learn, so I wanted to highlight it for folks who, like me, haven't ever looked into it seriously.
Sorry for the only-slightly-early access!

Yep — Legendary Actions, Lair Actions, and Environmental Actions are great for this, but unfortunately aren't available for most monsters that your party faces in tier one and two. I mention that at the end 😊
