[QUOTE="kalani, post: 7279459, member: 88085"] [B]Regarding dead characters & DM Rewards: [/B] It has been clarified previously that you can apply DM rewards to a character for the purpose of gaining sufficient GP to raise them from the dead. The character is retired until such times as they can afford the raise dead, at which point they are revived. Any XP, DT, Renown, or Magic items that come with the accumulated DM rewards are applied as normal but are meaningless until such times as the character is raised from the dead. If you lack sufficient DM rewards to revive them, they are retired until you DM sufficient adventures to afford the cost. [B]Dead characters cannot[/B] trade items, and cannot benefit from spellcasting services [I]other[/I] than those necessary to return them to life. They cannot spend downtime, or take any other action. AFAIK - The only way to be permanently dead in AL at this time is through the Death Curse (although there are several ways to prematurely retire your character, such as by choosing to keep certain magic items, or other story awards) [B]Regarding LMoP & Tier 2 Characters:[/B]Tier 2 characters can only play this adventure if they were L1-4 when they started playing the adventure, and have not played any [I]other [/I]Hardcover adventure since.

If you level out of a HC, you can [I]finish[/I] playing that adventure, but if you play a different HC, you cannot return to it (the DDAL, DDEX, DDEP, DDIA, and other softcover adventures don't count, and can be played alongside your one HC adventure). [I][B]For Example:[/B][/I] Kanare is a 10th level Paladin who is playing [I]Curse of Strahd (L1-10)[/I]. CoS is considered her HC adventure at this time. She takes a break from CoS to play some softcover adventures resulting in her reaching 11th level. At this point she has leveled out of CoS, but can continue playing it as long as she doesn't play any other HC adventure. If she chooses to play [I]Rise of Tiamat, [/I][I]Princes of the Apocalypse, Out of the Abyss, Storm King's Thunder, The Yawning Portal, [/I]or [I]Tomb of Annihilation[/I] after reaching 11th level, she will be prohibited from returning to CoS as she has leveled out of the adventure, and the most recent HC adventure is the one she is considered to be playing.
