Low-level combat is often mechanically simple, and this can lead to potentially boring encounters, particularly if players are used to the range of abilities available with higher-level characters. In this two-part series, we discuss why low-level combat can sometimes fall short, and provide a bunch of ways to spice things up. In part one, we talk about how to make the opponents more interesting (giving them a personality, some prior relationship with the party, perhaps some emotional investment); ways to introduce alternative objectives so that combat isn't just about fighting to the death; how to create dynamic environments with weather or lair actions; and how to use different combat roles alongside things like resistances and vulnerabilities to keep things interesting.
Keep an eye out for part two of this discussion next week.
