Attacks skip the to-hit roll, three flexible actions replace the action, bonus action and reaction split, and legendary monsters act after every hero, so fights stay tense and short. It runs existing 5e adventures with light conversion, starts simply at level 1, and gives GMs fast encounter building. It is weaker for story-first tables that want rules for social play or downtime."},"constraints":{"playerRange":null,"sessionRange":null,"setupMinutes":null,"characterCreationMinutes":null,"prepLevel":"Low","priceModel":"Paid"},"fit":{"beginnerFriendly":true,"newGmFriendly":4,"oneShotFriendly":true,"campaignFriendly":true,"soloFriendly":false,"improvBurden":"Medium","structureLevel":"Balanced","contentIntensity":"Low"},"scores":[{"key":"complexity","label":"Complexity","value":3},{"key":"new_gm","label":"New GM Fit","value":4},{"key":"roleplay","label":"Roleplay Focus","value":2},{"key":"combat","label":"Combat Focus","value":5},{"key":"tactical","label":"Tactical Depth","value":4},{"key":"campaign","label":"Campaign Depth","value":3}],"availability":{"quickstartAvailable":true,"pdfAvailable":true,"physicalBookAvailable":true,"vttReady":true},"recommendations":{"bestFor":["5e groups who want faster, more decisive fights without leaving familiar fantasy","Tables that love tactical grid combat and boss battles","GMs who want quick encounter building and easy-to-run monsters"],"avoidIf":["You want rules support for social conflict, travel or downtime","Your players love D&D's huge spell lists and world-changing utility magic","You need to buy through DriveThruRPG"]},"facets":{"genres":["Fantasy","High Fantasy"],"systems":["5e-Compatible"],"mechanics":["Campaign","Character Customization","Class-Based","Tactical Combat"],"themes":[],"decisionTags":["Beginner-Friendly","Low Prep","One-Shot Friendly","Rules Medium"]},"links":{"websiteUrl":"https://nimblerpg.com/","reviewsUrl":"https://www.enworld.org/threads/what-i-like-about-nimble-2e-so-far-%E2%80%94-a-partial-review.717284/"}}
