[QUOTE="SubDude, post: 7100567, member: 6790261"] My FLGS has a large number of new players, particularly in Adventures League. It really took off after I ran Vault of the Dracolich last year. Unfortunately, I'm seeing a general lack of knowledge of the rules. Everyone is just playing, which is great; but even the new DM's don't seem to have read some of the rules. One example, I was [U]confidently[/U] told last week that the ASI / Feats go with your total level, not your class level. I explained, perhaps not too politely, that this was exactly the opposite of correct and why it was so. Anyway, with this background in mind, I am planning on doing a "RAW Talk" (exact title to be determined) where I'd like to go over some common errors and misconceptions and hopefully show some folks how a lot of these errors actually matter (where they do, of course). I'll probably go over the RAW for a given topic and may offer up some common adjustments that experienced DM's use in their home games. So, what rules would you suggest that I ought to highlight? I have the Ameron blog post "10 Most Common Mistakes DMs and Players make in 5e D&D," and I'll certainly use this as a starting point. But what else would the collected wisdom here recommend? I very much appreciate your input. ======= Edited to Add 6/16/2017 ======= Here's what I have put together. (I was not able to upload the actual PowerPoint file.) Discussion is tomorrow, for Free RPG Day. I'll let you know how I think it went. [ATTACH]85253._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
