E176 - Dungeon Mastery - Variant Rules: When Characters Become Diplomatic and Emphatic, Charismatic and Dramatic, or Traumatic and Erratic

In this episode of the It’s A Mimic! Podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters cracks open the DMG, Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, and the Guildmasters’ Guide to Ravnica to dig into some more variant rules.  There are tons of them in the published material, and some of common online homebrew rules address issues that there are actually rule options for. This episode covers variant rules surrounding communication and reputation, and revisits the discussion on madness..
