What's the difference between a Lair and a Home? And how do you go about designing Lair Actions for your BBEG? In Dan's last episode of the Campaign Builder, he and Adam settle into their old routine to bring their experience and creativity to one of the most interesting mechanics of 5th Edition.
Takeaways:
- Regional Effects and Lair Actions have similar themes but very different functions
- Every lair should have a personality and logic to itself
- There should be a reason for everything within a lair
- Ensure that the players can feel that they are in enemy territory

Takeaways:
- There's more than one way to monologue for your bad guys

Spiritual Distress

Motion
Proprioception - the perception of body awareness (spacial awareness with your own body)
Pheromones

Is someone watching you?
