    Future of the current Adventure League

    you know - there is a valid perspective to support the theory, AL has basically told RC's and LC's their services are no longer required, No more certs for Items, Baldman starting to make modules, monetizing AL modules through DM guild, and a host of other small changes, that taken by themselves...

    Improved Divine Smite

    as for AL specific - I only play AL games, hence I posted the question here - apologies if there was a more specific place to ask this question

    Improved Divine Smite

    It's really only trying to say the extra damage stacks with other extra damage such as smiting. But nobody said otherwise, so saying nothing would probably have been clearer... Read more: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?491222-Improved-Divine-Smite#ixzz4M2zHf01W I agree with this...

    Improved Divine Smite

    I am going to understand it this way - my weapon attack does an extra d8 radiant damage separate from the smite damage, so I attack with Ironfang does 1d8 piercing, 1 d8 thunder, and 1 d8 radiant, my smite does (depending upon my spell slot lvl) 2 d8 to 5 d8. I will ignore the last sentence in...

    Improved Divine Smite

    If that is the case, why include this sentence in the description? It seems to me it specifically states to add that damage to the smite as well. It does not state one or the other, it states "also use divine smite add extra damage to the smite" not trying to be difficult, just trying to...

    Improved Divine Smite

    I am confused by the wording of Improved Divine Smite in the PHB - . Whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon, the creature takes an extra 1d8 radiant damage. If you also use your Divine Smite with an attack, you add this damage to the extra damage of your Divine Smite...." Does this...

    DDEX3-10 Quelling the Horde *Spoilers*

    I also found the whole witchcraft thing a bit of a non-sequitur. Nice idea, but maybe placed in the wrong adventure. Read more: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?475051-DDEX3-10-Quelling-the-Horde-*Spoilers*/page3#ixzz3zV07fl3I Yeah, I agree with you there. Also seems kinda weird...

    Check out the Season 4 Sneak Previews!

    Kalani, we will see how this plays out next month. I am sure there are still things being worked out before the launch so I will wait and see.

    Check out the Season 4 Sneak Previews!

    we have a policy in place - we will never turn away anyone who wants to play - someone shows up and we are in T-2, we will roll new characters in order to include the new player - just good ambassadorship - I cannot imagine any scenario where an AL DM or table would turn away a new player just...

    What sort of character will you build for Curse of Strahd?

    I play with a person who rolled a human paladin, dex build, took crossbow master or whatever it is that allows two attacks with a hand crossbow, who hides behind the caster classes while fighting fiends to shoot them with the crossbow. while technically not a wrong way to play, I have to shake...

    D&D 5E Do you want your DM to fudge?

    general rule for our games - DM's open roll - no behind the screen rolls ever - that being said, we DM's where I play and DM do not actively seek to TPK - take AL adventure 3-10 we had a lvl 4 fighter and Paladin, a lvl 3 wizard and archer, and lvl 1 warlock and barbarian average party lvl was...

    Coredump - Yes - I agree that it can go amazingly well - I have already posted in another thread about how we plan to tackle this season. launch product going into the book on wed nights, AL adventures purchased as a group on Saturday afternoons. two separate characters for each day. I just do...

    Steve - I am sorry for my reaction, but that post seemed too much like "Shut up, go away, and play what I tell you to play" to me. Portraying opposing viewpoints as an infection alienates those that disagree with things. If you cannot discuss opposing viewpoints, then whats the point of having...

    What sort of character will you build for Curse of Strahd?

    Back in the days I played EQ2 as a raid tank, the rule was heal the tank and let others lay where they lie. If your tank knows how to play and is geared well enough, it would be rare for another class to fall without them doing something silly to cause it, like blowing a high damage spell or...

    I do not think some folks here are taking into account that whats happening this season is a complete change to how we have done things in the past. encounters/expeditions are rebranded, Monetization of AL adventures, and what appears to be a restricted campaign season that goes away from the...
