Tabletop Rule Bot-D&D Rule Explanation Tool

Example

If a player is confused about how spell concentration works, the bot can explain that a caster must maintain focus on one concentration spell at a time, offering practical implications like what happens when the caster takes damage.

Scenario

During a tense battle, a wizard casts 'Hold Person' and later attempts to cast 'Invisibility'. The bot can clarify that casting 'Invisibility' would break the concentration on 'Hold Person', potentially changing the course of the encounter.

Example

When a rogue attempts a stealthy approach in a heavily guarded fortress, the bot can provide a detailed breakdown of how to calculate the stealth check, considering the rogue's skills and the guards' perception.

Scenario

The rogue rolls a stealth check with modifiers. The bot helps the Dungeon Master determine the challenge rating and the possible outcomes, aiding in narrating a successful sneak or a dramatic failure based on the roll.

Example

In lighter moments, such as when a character dramatically fails a simple task like opening a door, the bot can add a humorous twist, suggesting the door might be a legendary, unyielding portal disguised as an ordinary oak door.

Scenario

This levity can help alleviate tension during critical game sessions, making even the failures part of the fun and story progression.
