Every battle-forged game group has their unique spin on our beloved game of Dungeons and Dragons. Whether it’s a couple classic carryovers from previous editions, a learned online tip, or simply an original thought, all these combined tweaks will truly help make the game your own.

And BensRPGPile.com is no different. We’ve played together for quite some time now and consequently are dreaming up new ways to keep things fun and entertaining.

With that said, here are Ben’s Top 10 D&D House Rules to play by:

1. Fumble P1: Roll a 1 & your turn is immediately done (even if actions remain).
2. Fumble P2: Roll a 1 & your next attack ain’t no fun (-2 attack on next turn).

3. Fumble P3: Roll a 1 & you’ve won…a shot (but it’s the drinker’s alcohol of choice).
4. Corpse Country: Two dead bodies in a square becomes difficult terrain.

5. Torch Throw:  We roll certain dice to determine the distance of a tossed object.
6. Enemy Targeting: Roll the corresponding die for the 1st target & go clockwise.

7. Saving Grace: If you forget, you can only roll a save anytime before your next turn.
8. Rule Review: DM makes immediate call. Twitter or WotC forum confirms for future.

9. Achievements: Good & bad game play gets you Encounters-like rewards.
10. Go Team: We all contribute to our game and to BensRPGPile.com anytime we can.

All our little game idiosyncrasies are constantly evolving and we encourage you to do the same. Take it from Ben: Don’t get stuck in your ways. Avoid the mundane and always try new things. Keep reading the myriad of amazing D&D blogs. Listen to podcasts. Stay connected on Twitter. And be sure to tell us what house rules you guys use?

This surreal D&D community will welcome you with open arms – just remember to hug back.
