Wow, total straw man argument. I don't think anyone went as far as to say that all melee class characters should actually *have* a magic weapon, whether they want one or not. A temporary magical weapon is available to some classes but not others (shillelagh, others), and a chunk of the ones...

I play at a table sometimes with a klepto rogue, the DM usually plays along. At least once or twice a session her character rolls to find a trinket or two, which by the end of the session she's made them an offering to her deity. Pure RP fluff, zero crunch. I highly approve.

I agree, but barring content in another update like the SCAG I strongly doubt we'll see AL legal Adamantine or Mithral available for purchase. That would have been the place to put it. Of course non-AL DMs can simply houserule it, but. . .

I don't think it's a great solution either. in the absence of magical weapons (I consider a silvered handaxe a +0 magic weapon because it overcomes mundane weapon resistances, at least some of the time) it's just a frustrating situation. I did boltsmelter's book once and had to solo a gargoyle...

I have a similar opinion, but to me the answer is either the +0 "magical weapon," or taking a level of sorc or wizard (or the magic initiate feat) so they have melee cantrips like green flame and they can at least land a blow and actually deal the damage they roll. Since the first isn't really a...

We'd been specifically dealing non-lethal damage while defending ourselves. The 12 year old barbarian was specifically told not to kill him, so of course he did. I can see the DM wanting to make this a teachable moment, I'm just not clear if there will be blowback for the whole party or just...

huh. in my group the burgomaster was killed last session, after he confronted our group for liberating a couple potions of healing. The chaotic 12 year old dealt the killing blow, and most of the table was kind of dumbfounded. While I fully expect the Mists to revive the Burgomaster, I'm curious...

Ideas for characters at level 1-3: There's a table on DMG pg 143 of minor quirks. Pick one of those. An earring with the guardian property, adding +2 to initiative, is both worth it and an opportunity for cool RP with the players (The earring can whisper little warnings like "Duck now" or...

Looked it up, the citations are in basic rules as well, pages 51-52 (mounts and vehicles) and 60 (Lifting and Carrying). Thanks RulesJD. I may keep two horses on the job anyway, and name them Marsha and Sasha after a pair of Lemmy's amplifiers. Plus, you can always hope you have to haul home a...

the issue I see here is that it doesn't really address the sorcerer's class features, especially metamagic. THat's where a lot of the oomph of a sorcerer happens. Of course that may have been the intent, as folding in those things might make the result overpowered.

So does the estimate of two draft horses to haul a carriage loaded with two adventurers and slightly more gear than they personally can carry still stand, or are we looking at a team of 4 draft horses? Four seems like overkill to me, but not spectacularly so.

I am doing season 4 as they're released at the same FLGS with the same DM. A roleplaying effect is all I'd really be aiming for. Getting a convert or three would be fun, as would starting a session handing out leaflets on a streetcorner in Orasnou, trying to convert people to be Kelemvorites...

accidental double post

that pretty much reads as exchange for services, and I mistrust cutting deals with Hags. While in theory I might really like doing a Hallow spell on the aforementioned shrine to Kelemvor, I don't expect that would work for AL as it's probably not any more portable than the shrine itself. Hallow...

Ok, then a broader question: is there any way to simply deduct gold from my total as a donation to my character's faith? Without any presumption of a "tangible" result of any sort?
