Game Rules

Recommended Rules

This article goes over rules from official rule books as well as some rules of mine that I recommend for you to use to keep the game running correctly and smoothly. Some of these listed rules are simply here as a reminder because of how important they are, even if it seems redundant to list it.

Ranged attacks have disadvantage within 5ft. of an enemy.
Use backgrounds for creating your character, and remember that you can create custom ones! (Page 125-141 PHB).
Exhaustion rules ("Forced March", harsh environments, difficult tasks)
Encumbrance and reduced movement (climbing, swimming, crawling)
Jumping (page 182 PHB) ,Suffocating (Page 183), and Light/Vision (Page 183).
Food and Water requirements
5ft-10ft Diagonal movement (DMG)
Chapter 2 of Xanather's Guide to Everything all contains amazing rules to follow (Like rate of foalling, waking from sleeping, traps, etc..)
Sidekicks (Tasha's Cauldron pg 142), puzzles (examples starting on page 171) and Natural Hazards (page 169-170)
Throwing a grenade costs an action
You can melee with a gun (Deals only 1 dice of gun's normal damage dice, except pistol goes down to 1d6).

Like I said, have your table play with whatever rules you all agree with, but these are rules I believe the game will benefit from.
