How to Make Combat Sound Interesting

When it comes to a characters turn or an NPC's turn or a monster's turn take a beat and feel free to role play in that moment. So also a lot of monsters include a description and then like I would say use those adjectives liberally. They're there to take something off your plate. You can ask your player like okay like what does that look like. That's excellent advice because then that doesn't put all the improv on you. D&D is all about getting that yes dude moment. If somebody's just like I use the dash action and then I'm going to grapple them. It's just like very kind of boring, even just changing a couple words instead
