#dndcharacter #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dnd5e #rpg #pixelart #bossfight
If you're anything like me when I first started, making boss fights in D&D that are actually difficult can be kind of tough, so in this video, I'm talking all about some of the things that I do to give my players a challenge when fighting a boss.
Also, sorry if you commented on or liked this video in the past. There was a bit of a mishap on my end, and it ended up getting deleted. Accidents happen, I guess. Either way, I ended up reposting it, so I still hope you enjoy it.
