I don't get this, I don't see anything convoluted or half-baked about this. To me it makes a lot more sense than it did before. A 'weapon' is a thing, and item, a tool for destruction. When someone says "I found a crate of weapons", no one expects to see a bunch of cut off hands and feet and...

Do you *really* not see the huge difference in what you keep claiming, and what the article actually says...?? The term "Type" has an important and distinct meaning in DnD.... and you seem to be completely ignoring it.

I agree, AL trusts its DMs to follow the rules.... the actual rules. Not the rules that other people decide should be the rules. There is a group of people within the AL that really really want a very tight centralized control of rules and DMs. Even as far as saying it is illegal to buy a 6...

I appreciate your ability to quote in with various font sizes and colors, and to provide very long quotes..... but your post still does not completely support your earlier claims. 1) This quote is *explicitly* answering how to deal with the XP deficit in RoT. And it says you should not just...

Please stop telling people what they 'can't do' unless you can provide a rules reference in the ALPG or other AL official resource. We all realize you have very strong opinions of the 'right' way to play and run, but that does not make them requirements.

Y'know, people keep saying this.... but it sure isn't written anywhere. The AL website has a great article by Art S which covers a lot of useful ground, and doesn't agree with the above assertions. I realize there is a penchant to try and have a centralized control of the game, because...

My comments have already been presented. Skip the interrogation, streamline the discovery part.

I know about a lot of your PCs....you would be a rarity at most stores.....:)

Sorry dude, I don't care how high of a horse you think you own... you do not get to tell me what to do. *You* made the statement. It was false. I corrected your erroneous statement. Feel free to leave it at that....

PCs are not getting 'compensated' for the player putting in time and effort to play the game. It is simply a game mechanic to indicate that a character gets smarter and better as he does more stuff. So to say the DM should get the same, makes no sense to me. There is no PC doing anything...

People, I know the rules. The claim was that Sage Advice was "not the published rules". He was explicitly not restricting his statement to AL. Sage Advice is, in fact, the "published rules"; WotC says so. The AL admins, however, have given AL DMs permission to ignore those particular...

Well.... thats kind of my point. You would almost always have to replay a mod if a new person shows up. You are doing the same thing anyway. It doesn't matter if the 'old mod' is 2-8 or 4-3. You make it sound like you only have one table.... if that is the case, and you guys are playing T2...

Actually, the *are* the published rules. WotC has said that JC has the authority to state and/or change what the rules are. His statements are 'official'. Now, everyone (you, me, JC, WotC, etc) agrees that you are always free to use or not use any rule you want. But Sage Advice *is* the...

I don't see the difference from any other season..... If you are playing tier 1, you give them a pregen and play. If you are playing tier 2, they can't play in either case.

I don't get this. You create a new PC so you can play 4-1, and you just use that one as you go through the season 4 Mods. As one of the 'regulars' and 'sorta kinda' one of the group leaders.... I may have a second tier 1 PC in case I need to rerun an adventure for some new folks.... but I...

There are definitely some potential problems with the 'stuck' and 'in order' nature of season 4. No doubt about it.... I keep thinking of ways that it could go annoyingly bad. But I am still glad they did it. I think it could also go really well... a better story, likely played with the same...

Right now I am leaning towards an Arcane Cleric....but I may change. Also not sure if I am running CoS or not, if so I will need a second new PC.

Yeah, we will have to wait to be sure, but from here I see a couple of possibilties. Run 5-1 (maybe 5-2) they run the DDLE module, and go from there. In this case, the DDLE mode is kind of like a 'triple length mod'. 2 of the 4 hardcovers seem to 'start' at level 3, and just have a...

The rules still work just fine even if the DM never shows you the die, and never tells you the value. In that case, you roll yours, and then you have to play the odds...

Shidaku as the right of it. For almost all intents and purposes.... THP operate the exact same as regular HP. Resistance will half the damage before subtrating THP. OTOH, if you have 10 THP, and get hit for 5 damage.... you can still be poisoned, or paralyzed, or whatever. Losing your THP is...
