Extra UA articles do nothing for me unless they actually get put into AL-legal books since that's what my DM allows. I'm not sure how much of their UA stuff has become hardcopy-AL-legal yet, but my impression is that it's a very small amount. I have 0 interest in adventure paths, personally...

Has anyone confirmed early-release timing for this yet at network stores? oops, apologies, I see it's October 23, per here: http://wpn.wizards.com/en/products/sword-coast-adventurers-guide

The content I enjoy most is all home-brewed, so these settings books do nothing for me. I want character options, and I want them allowed in AL, where we're now seeing some of the same characters with different names that we've had over the past 1.5 years. Acknowledged that this may not be...

Ahh, I see what you're saying.

Just to be clear - that wasnt my statement you're responding to, there. But what you did do in your initial post about how the dragon would fight is what I did suggest - ignore CRs and instead figure out how the fight will play out and use that to balance, which you did a great job of. Other...

What's the CR of that?

I've never really looked at the CRs of the creatures in the games I've DM'd. It makes a lot more sense to just figure out how the combat will play out for a given group of enemies and go with that as your guide. Is the enemy likely to get at least 1 attack in, or will it probably be...

Help me understand the argument here, please. Say you're in a waist-high grassy field on a bright summer day, and you cast darkness on a solitary small tree in the middle of that field. - Does someone outside the darkness see the tree? - if not, what do they see? Do they see the rest of the...

Hey - thanks all - this has been really helpful, especially the last couple 'o posts on altering my play-style/class-choice to fit the rule-set instead of altering the rule-set to accommodate a play-style.

Hm, interesting questions. I was usually running 1 of the big four big conc buffs: Fly/Invis/Haste/Polymorph on my teammates, often twinned when possible. It would have been nice to be able to give someone else (or one of the already-buffed party members) an additional boost from one of them...

I've been playing a mostly support-ish character in Adventurer's league (cleric/sorcerer) and have had a pretty good time. I generally found things to do, but towards the end of the campaign (Rise of Tiamat) I was really wanting to be able to burn support-type spell slots a little more...
