5th Edition D&D advantage/disadvantage analysisplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_big5th Edition D&D advantage/disadvantage analysis
What effect do advantage and disadvantage actually have in D&D 5th edition?
Conclusion
While the average implies that advantage doesn't make a huge difference, in practice, you're going to see much better rolls. It's highly weighted towards high numbers, which means you'll be rolling almost twice as many critical hits, and critical misses become extremely unlikely, at only one in 400. D&D 5: Masters of Skillsplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigD&D 5: Masters of Skills
By the DM, 2017-10-18
Skills were one of my favorite parts of D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder. They remain one of my favorite parts of D&D 5. Like in every edition of D&D, rogues and bards are the skill masters, but who is better? Identifying Items Without a Spellplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigIdentifying Items Without a Spell
In a low-magic campaign, identifying magic items can be difficult and expensive. These alternate rules allow anyone with the proper skills to identify items, given enough time and expertise. The process can be long and difficult, however. House Rulesplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigHouse Rules
Low-level or low-magic campaigns
The Normal Person (D&D 3.5): I got tired of the idea that the king's master chef also had to be able to take on half an army single-handed, so I wrote up this new set of rules for NPCs.
Starting before level 1 (D&D 3.x): Rules for an extraordinarily low-powered adventure. Starting before level 1plugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigStarting before level 1
Here's an idea for a campaign that begins before the characters are adventurers. It starts way down at level -2, leaving a long way to go before the great powers of level 1. Naturally, in a world where this takes place, encounters will have to be adjusted. Magical Combat (2E)plugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigMagical Combat (2E)

In the standard D&D 3.x rules, an average person has levels in NPC classes such as Commoner and Expert. These work reasonably well in most campaigns, but they also pose some problems. For example, let's say the best chef in the world has a +30 modifier in Profession(chef). Even with Skill Focus and an 18 wisdom, this must be a level 20 character. As such, besides being a genius with a stock pot, this character is an even match for a trained platoon of soldiers in combat.
