the 2024 Dungeon Masters Guide got rid
0:02
of variant rules completely The 2014 DMG
0:06
had a bunch of interesting variant rules
0:09
um spell points instead of spell slots
0:12
uh gritty realism flanking a lot of
0:15
things that people really enjoyed and
0:17
got a lot of use out of There were
0:19
optional rules like the ability to
0:21
disarm enemies and climb large enemies
0:23
and those things were a lot of fun if
0:25
you chose to use them every once in a
0:27
while But in the 2024 Dungeon Masters
0:30
Guide despite the book being expanded
0:32
considerably variant rules are
0:35
altogether gone Now hopefully we'll see
0:38
them come back in a future supplement
0:40
maybe maybe we will just see a book
0:42
called Unearthed Arana like we got in
0:44
previous editions but uh considering
0:46
what they're using the name for these
0:48
days I don't think that's going to
0:49
happen Still I'm holding out hope maybe
0:53
variant rules will come back If not
0:55
they're always third-party supplements
0:57
and things like Tales of the Valiant
