[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 7172373, member: 17607"] Was responding in another thread when I noted that a change in the way item rarity is handled in DDAL makes it significant for someone claiming certain items from DDEX adventures to also claim the cert for those items as part of their quest reward. Specifically, these rules: "Items are of like rarity to items found in the DMG unless they possess additional abilities outside of those found in the Special Features tables on pages 142 and 143 of the DMG. This includes, but it not limited to saving throw bonuses, intelligence, additional benefits against specific foes, etc. Items like this are considered unique items." (DDAL FAQ 6.1, p.9) Since (as far as I can tell) no iteration of the Dedicated DM quest allows a DM to select an item with Unique rarity, this means that for treasures in certain adventures, the cert for the item must also be claimed along with the item, or the item is not of a legal rarity to be selected as a quest reward. For seasons 1 and 2, the adventures affected by this rule are as follows: DDEX 1-13: The 'wearers ears tingle' effect is not listed either in the item's description, nor on the tables on pp.142-143 of the DMG, thus the item's rarity is Unique without a cert DDEX 1-14: The 'glows faintly within 100 feet of a source of strong elemental power' effect is not listed either in the item's description nor on the tables on pp.142-143 of the DMG DDEX 2-5: The 'mad cackling' effect is not listed in the item's description nor on the tables on pp.142-143 of the DMG DDEX 2-7: The 'soaks through any gloves worn over it' trait is not listed in the item's description nor on the tables on pp.142-143 of the DMG DDEX 2-8: The 'covered in slime' trait is not listed in the item's description nor on the tables on pp.142-143 of the DMG items from later DDAL seasons may also have this quirk (I have all the Season 4 DDAL adventures, but not a full set of DDAL adventures from seasons 3, 5, or 6) -- if you as a DM plan to select one of these items for your Dedicated DM quest reward, make certain that you also print out a copy of the item cert and assign it to the character who receives the quest reward. Without the cert, the item is not of a legal rarity to be selected as a DM quest reward. -- Pauper [/QUOTE]
