In this 45-minute video on the Robertscribbler YouTube channel, I explore the tactical ins and outs of the old adage “Don’t Split the Party” in Dungeons and Dragons 5e. This video explores different considerations including party vulnerability to AOE, the need to maneuver to hit team monster hard, and the fun of risk-taking in D&D 5e. This guide is intended to balance risk and reward by providing some helpful rules of thumb for both fun and party survival during tough encounters.
