How Does Initiative Work in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5E)
Above all else, D&D has always been a combat game. The Combat System in Dungeons and Dragons has always taken up 3/4 of the rules, with actions, and attacks, reactions, counterspells, grappling and movement constantly confusing and confounding new players. This all interacts with the DM’s encounter, the terrain and the monsters. D&D, however, is a turn based game. So even though each individual round (which takes place over the course of 6 seconds) technically happens at the same time, we break that down into turns.

The Jigsaw of Life
I love jigsaw puzzles. The challenge of putting them all together. The wonderful knowledge that it is possible to succeed, even if you don’t see it when you look at a pile of pieces. The feeling of successful completion, and satisfaction of having something tangible to show for your work.

The Hallow Deck of Many Things
If you play Dungeons and Dragons, you may have heard of the Deck of Many Things before. This coveted magic item is a deck of 22 cards, half of which have amazingly useful effects, and the other half of which have disastrously bad effects. This deck and its cousin, the Harrow Deck, are so infamous for the trouble they've caused that they come with warnings in their compendium listings. These warnings caution GMs to be careful about using these decks, as they can radically change your players' characters and completely derail an ongoing campaign.

Creating the perfect Bard is hard work, between creating the right backstory and choosing feats and spells to fit your character. But, the most important part of making any character is choosing the perfect Archetype. A bard’s power is tied to their Bardic College, the way their power has been schooled, not unlike a wizard.

Let’s get started!
