DnD idea:
If, within two seconds of the DM saying “roll for initiative” a player says an action they want to take then they can have that action for free.
The catch being they have to do the action no matter what.
Want to fireball the halfling rogue that just jumped out of the shadows? Sure, you did it on reflex, but you also hit the cleric who was in the radius. No you can’t take that back.
You said you wanted to run backwards out of the rogues attack range? You came up a flight of stairs, have fun falling down them next turn.
You want to grab them out of the air by their throat mid jump? And intimidate them? Roll dexterity to catch and then roll to intimidate.
#dnd#dnd rules#bad dnd ideas#dnd ideas#funny#basically a quick react rule#like a person lashing out in surprise and accidentally knocking someone out#or accidentally casting fireball#I’d say limit it to one player allowed for the rule but it’d be way funnier if they all freak out at a tiny goblin and decimate everything
