What 5e variant/house rules do you play with that work? (feddit.uk)

I'll be DMing some more 5e soon and I want to take the opportunity to try some different ways of playing (I'll post my own suggestions as comments so they can start their own discussion threads). What alternate rules have you tried that you thought worked well? They can be larger changes to the game or little QoL tweaks (though if you can respond to the suggestion with "at this point just play [different game] instead" then that's probably more than what I'm looking for!)

Bards can use the help action at a distance by using their movement points. If you stand still and play your music to help your people, that works at a distance. The performance requires you to move in olace, playing the instrument. It has to be the full movement points for that round.

Not originally by me, but I quite enjoy it that way.
