DM SCREEN

Wearing armor you're not proficient in means you have disadvantage on everything that rolls a d20 + Strength or Dexterity (including attack rolls and saving throws) and you can't cast magic.

Optional Homebrew Rule:

• Call the shot before rolling for attack.
• Depending on the size of the targeted shot, they receive a penalty to their attack roll.

Notes:

• Called shots never deal more damage than normal, but may result in unique effects.
• Called shots to the head DO NOT insta-kill the monster.

Example Successes:

• Arrow to the head: the arrow may hit the goblin in the jaw and now he slurs when he speaks.
• Dagger to the eye: The dagger slashes across the goblin's eyebrow dripping blood into his eyes, and now he's blinded for one round.
• Sword to the arm: The sword jabs into the goblin's bicep and he has disadvantage on his next attack.

• Difficult: DC 20-25
• Nearly Unbreakable: DC 25-30

• Reinforced Iron Door: DC 20-25

Players roll 2d12, then optionally roll 1d12 as many times as they want. At end of round, players reveal their total. Player who gets closest to 21 without going over wins.

If playing multiple rounds, the first player to 10 points wins:

• 0pt: Over 21
• 1pt: Closest to 21 without going over
• 2pts: Exactly 21
