The DMs Guide to Hunting is a rules supplement containing hunting mechanics and an abundance of appropriate
hunting quarries to use in your games. Among these quarries are real mammals, reptiles, birds, and other animals
reimagined for D&D 5th Edition and new, completely original fantasy animals. This supplement uses rules, spells,
and concepts from Wizards of the Coast’s D&D 5th Edition and are intended to supplement your campaigns.

Tips for the DM

As with any supplement, The DMs Guide to Hunting
should be adapted to work for your group. If you don’t
like the way a mechanic works, please feel free to change
it. Adjust the descriptions, lore, details, and effects to suit
your games and your players. For example, if you want
to include hunting in your games but don’t like some of
the animals in the Appendix, replace them with animals
appropriate to your world or setting! If you want to make
hunting a more complex mechanical system, these rules
make a great starting point to create a new system of
your own. Use this supplement however it can best be
utilized at your table and in your games. I hope you have
as much fun with these rules as we have!
