D&D - fun combat encounters (terrain, etc.)

 

Fun Combat Encounters

The following features can add more fun and suspense to a combat encounter:

• Terrain features that pose inherent risks to both the characters and their enemies, such as a frayed rope bridge and pools of green slime
• Terrain features that provide a change of elevation, such as pits, stacks of empty crates, ledges, and balconies
• Features that either inspire or force characters and their enemies to move around, such as chandeliers, kegs of gunpowder or oil, and whirling blade traps
• Enemies in hard-to-reach locations or defensive positions, so that characters who normally attack at range are forced to move around the battlefield
• Different types of monsters working together
