E169 - Dungeon Mastery - Variant Rules: Class Dippings, Taking Whippings, and Fun Equippings

In this episode of the It’s A Mimic! Podcast, this panel of Dungeon Masters sits down and cracks open the discussion on variant rules.  There are dozens of options in the published material for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, and some of you might be unnecessarily making homebrew rules without realizing there are already other options out there for you.  This show has already dug into the experience-based variants in E047, so it’s time to look at special character creation rules, unique healing and damage rules, and some interesting entries about unique weapons.   Cold Open 0:00 Intro 1:07 Customizing Ability Scores 5:29 Customizing Your Lineage 14:33 Multiclassing 23:57 Commercial Break 35:12 Healing 36:15 Rest and Sleep 46:35 Injuries 51:17 Massive Damage 55:34 Social Media Info 58:40 Firearms, Explosives, and Alien Technology 1:00:07 Adamantine Weapons 1:16:35 Wands That Don’t Recharge 1:19:11 Outro 1:25:00 Post-Credit 1:25:56 Bloopers 1:28:1   DON’T FORGET TO LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!   Available On: https://www.itsamimic.com iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/its-a-mimic/id1450770037 Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/3Y19VxSxLKyfg0gY0yUeU1 Podbean at https://itsamimic.podbean.com/  YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzQmvEufzxPHWrFSZbB8uuw   Social: Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/itsamimic/ Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/itsamimic/?hl=en Reddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/ItsaMimic/ Email at [email protected]   Dungeon Master:  Adam Nason Host 2:  Dave Nason Host 3:  James Sealy   Written by:  Adam Nason Director:  Adam Nason Audio Editor:  Brad McMann Video Editor:  Adam Nason Produced by:  Brad McMann and Adam Nason Executive Producers:  Dan O’Coin and Adam Nason Intro/Outro Music by:  Cory Wiebe Logo by:  Katie Skidmore at https://www.instagram.com/clementineartportraits/   Current Gear: Microphone (USA) - https://amzn.to/2WWuCsz  Microphone (CAN) - https://amzn.to/2WTZ69G   This post or video may contain affiliate links, which means we may receive a commission for purchases made through our links.   This episode is meant to be used as an inspirational supplement for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition and tabletop roleplaying games in general.  It’s A Mimic! does not own the rights to any Wizards of the Coasts products.   Artwork included in this episode’s visualizations is published and/or owned by Wizards of the Coast.
