Can I add custom monsters or characters to the system?

Beyond mechanics, the skill includes a 'radio drama' narrative guide. This ensures that every dice roll, spell cast, and sword swing is translated into immersive, vivid descriptions to enhance the storytelling experience.

Question 3

What does the D&D Combat and Magic System skill do?

When should I use this Claude Code skill?
