→Holding Your Breath and Drowning
If a character is swimming underwater
intentionally (not as a result of a failed ability
check), the character can hold his or her breath
for a number of minutes equal to his or her
Constitution modifier (minimum 30 seconds).

→Normal creatures can’t see anything in
darkness and are effectively blinded. An area of
darkness is heavily obscured.

→Darkness
Darkness is common at night under an overcast
sky or within the confines of an unlit dungeon or
subterranean vault. Sometimes magic can create
regions of darkness.

→A creature can squeeze through a space large
enough for a creature one size category smaller
than itself. When squeezing through such a space,
every 5 feet of movement costs 5 extra feet of
movement. While squeezing, a creature has
disadvantage on attacks and on Dexterity saving
throws, and attacks against it have advantage.

→For example, eight Medium creatures can
surround a fellow Medium creature. A pair of
Gargantuan creatures (worth two and a half
Medium each) and two Large creatures (worth
one and a half each) could also surround a
Medium creature.

→Fills. When creatures of different size
surround one opponent, a creature counts as this
many Medium size creatures when determining
how many can fit in the threatened area.

→Surround. This column represents the
number of Medium creatures that can fit in a 5-
foot radius around the creature.

→Creature Size
During a battle, creatures take up different
amounts of space on the battlefield. A lone ogre
can block off a 10-foot-wide bridge, while over a
dozen goblins could surround a storm giant. A
creature’s size determines how much space it
takes up, how far its attacks can reach, and how
many enemies can gang up on it.

→Always Round Down
Whenever you divide a number in the game,
round down if you end up with a fraction. Do so
even if the fraction is 0.5 or more.

→Miscellaneous Rules
These rules cover a variety of situations that
might come up as characters delve into ancient
tombs, sneak into merchants’ mansions, walk the
ruined streets of ancient cities, strive in battle
against fearsome dragons, broker peace between
warring cities, and all the other things
adventurers do.

→In other cases, the first failure renders
subsequent ability checks impossible. For
instance, a rogue tries to trick a town guard into
thinking that the group members are undercover
agents of the king. The rogue loses the contest of
Charisma (Deception) against Wisdom. The same
lie told again clearly won’t work.

→In most cases, the character can simply try
again. The only real cost is the time it takes. The
character keeps trying and, after enough time
passes, eventually succeeds. To speed things up,
you can assume that a character can
automatically succeed at a task if he or she
spends twenty times the normal amount of time
needed to complete it. This exception does not
allow a character to turn an impossible task into
a successful one.

→Multiple Ability Checks
Sometimes a character fails an ability check and
wants to try again. You have a couple of options
in this case.

→Disadvantage. Not every idea is a good one. A
character might try to win the prince’s favor by
bragging about all the bandits he or she slew, not
realizing that the prince is an avowed pacifist. If
an idea backfires on a player, apply disadvantage
to the ability check or attack.

→That said, if the situation warrants it, use
advantage to grant a character an edge.

→Attacks and Saving Throws. A colorful
description is nice for attacks and saving throws,
but should rarely be the avenue to gaining a
concrete game benefit, since it is too easy to
abuse such an approach. You might have players
endlessly describing how they resist a mind
flayer’s mind blast or trying to narrate every
detail of a sword blow. In most cases, spells and
special abilities serve to grant characters
advantage on their attacks and saving throws.

→Contests. In a contest, an ingenious
description that points to a key advantage that a
character might gain could lead you to grant the
character advantage on the check.

→Ability Checks. When a player makes an
ability check, invite him or her to describe the
character’s action. If the player makes clever use
of the situation in the description, consider
either granting an automatic success or
advantage on the ability check.

→The easiest way to do so is to make
imaginative solutions the easiest path to success
for the adventurers. Consider the following
options.

→More important, you want the players to
become fully engaged in the game. Reward
inventive players who look beyond game options
to describe their characters’ actions. Roleplaying
games stand out from other types of games
because they allow for this type of creativity.
Encourage it whenever you can.
