A spell caster in an Anti Magic Field is bad news ... Just wondering what the best tactical options are there.. I am thinking attempting to "help" a melee or ranged character to give advantage on an attack. Is there any other options?

Question: I see that I can spend 1 TCP (Treasure Checkpoint) and receive 50 gold pieces. Is the reverse true? I spend 50 gold pieces and receive 1 TCP When responding please cite the source of your answer... Thanks

Got a question... To be Adventure League compliant... to play an Oathbreaker Paladin does one need an official certificate or can a player renounce their current Oath to become one? If a player does need a certificate, does one exist? I have seen a certificate for the death domain in the DMG...

Thanks, but the latest one I can find is dated 3/24/17... Is there a more recent one?

Hi, I have been looking for the official documentation from AL regarding PHB +1. Can anyone furnish a link so I can review it? Thanks in advance

I must apologize since I am second generation immigrant.... I do not understand what that means... please elaborate.... thanks

Sir, Your reply to me is really irrelevant I am just answering the OP post of is there a listing of where magic items reside at which adventures.. of which the need for that is gone due to rolling or "rolling" directly on treasure tables Also there is nothing assured when playing an adventure...

The reality is that EVERY item in the DMG is available now... When the Admins allowed rolled treasure from the hardcover books and in particular Storm Kings Thunder that gave access to treasure tables H and I... so the necessity of making magic items listing became obsolete.

Sir, you obviously have not been reading my posts... I am saying is that a game designer should include ALL types of play when considering additions or changes to the game because there are different kinds of players that enjoy this game in different ways. If you disagree with that notion, then...

Sorry.. this time really last post... D&D is not a competitive game in the traditional sense because the players do not compete with each other... but I will argue it is competitive from the standpoint that the DM provides a goal for the players to achieve. From that perspective, it becomes...

My last post on this thread.... It is obvious from the replies... that once I wrote the words optimization and powergaming... some of you made an assumption that I am speaking of the player type that eeks out every single point of damage in a round or builds a character with an AC of a...

Ad Hoc and Dave... Now I am curious... how many different players do you both normally play with... 1 table of maybe 5 or 6 players like a home game... or you expose yourselves to a bigger community? My comments are based on my experiences in the Los Angeles area of a community of like 500...

It is only true.... I am advocating inclusiveness to ALL types of players... you are advocating only to include players you deem fit to play the game you seem to want. At least you got the analogy.... kudos

Wow.... you really think because I say that game design should include powergaming that I am "catering"... Let me present a simple analogy that hopefully you will understand.... The government announces that will provide a new service that everyone can benefit from except Blank... you can fill...

I disagree... I would imagine it is simple bell curve distribution.... with players that the play the game with zero dice rolling (i.e. heavy role players) and players that play the game with all dice mechanics and zero role playing being at the opposite ends with everyone else forming the bell...

Fair enough... it would be interesting on how he arrived at that number.. Now I am curious if he quoted a player base number for Magic: The Gathering since that game is considered a "Franchise Base" game per the 2016 Hasbro Annual Report and I assume they are still both WoTC controlled games

1. I am not going to argue about definitions.. no point in doing so 2. I absolutely disagree with your second point....if they truly do not want to get better, they will eventually lose interest in the game and quit. To the second part of your point #2, I am going to assume you are the DM...

You really miss the point.... the point is this: People inherently do not want to suck so they will do some sort of optimization so they can also contribute to the group. I am not talking about the player who will go to the Nth degree in optimization... that is another discussion. I am not...

My point is to capture both playstyles because everyone that is in middle does some combination of both

Do you have quantitative evidence of 10 million D&D players, because the number of players playing D&D today is probably much less. However, given your number there are more players that participate in powergaming tactics because of one fact of Human Nature... nobody wants to suck at playing...
