I can fudge the combat stats, but I'm more concerned with the fact that it seems like there is a chunk of the finale missing. At the end of part 5, when the mists are encroaching, there seems to be stuff missing, and then the mod says something like "if the player agree, etc." Agree to what...

Biggest suggestion is to read back through the comments and such here, and keep in mind that at many tables, you will not have a horde. You may not even have a single zombie with you at the start of a session; its up to the judge to determine whether or not whatever may have happened at your...

Anyone? Any word on what the missing/unexplained elements are?

I'm not saying there aren't downsides, just that -- to me and the DMs I've spoken with -- the downsides on some of these don't seem to be as deleterious as the upsides are beneficial, which to me kinda waters down the feeling of it being Gothic Horror. I'm hoping that there are key bits later...

Probably because D&D (and AL by extension) is one of the 'old guard' RPGs still, which is fundamentally based on combat and defeating obstacles, as opposed to bypassing or avoiding them. Like it or not, home game or shared campaign, Al module or hardback, most of the time things in a D&D game...

Yeah, I kinda suspect that a certain number of players (i.e., a lot) will actually not mind at all the Dark Powers version of 'faction charity' this season -- most all of them seem more like boons than woes, and at least one of the so-called 'curses' I suspect will be actively sought out by...

I have one of those exact characters, and it's fun. He's a statistician, so all his spells and abilities (he's multiclass) are about providing advantage/disadvantage, etc. Not the most optimized character, but fun to play regardless. "The Master of Luck and Death knows all and sees all...

Okay, so, I got the updated version, and, sadly, it's still full of errors. Maybe someone can give me an official rundown of what's supposed to be here on these? I can muddle my way through the rest of the stuff, but these still are awkward. What is the optimized level for the mod? Pg. 2...

Keep in mind that specific backgrounds like these are often better suited to a home campaign than an Organized-Play campaign; in a home campaign, the DM can subtly work in your Secret Knowledge/Discovery/etc. into the very plot-line itself -- not so much with a shared campaign like AL.

Note that that's not 5E, that's AL, which is by itself an almost embarrassing collection of wibbly-wobbly elements on the one hand that are almost guaranteed to vary from table to table, coupled with a handful of other elements on the other hand that are so written in stone, they're practically...

Oh, yeah, that's would also do it. Sounds like he just didn't have a good grasp of how the magic items rules in Al operate.

I suspect it was because of the cert. Otherwise, if he wanted something that wasn't applicable to his character "just because it was a magic item," methinks he may also not quite understand how the AL magic item distribution rules work (in addition to being a bit of a jerk).

Thanks! i'm running them the following Saturday, so that'll work out well. That'll be to both the copies the stores got as well as the copies we might have gotten off the DMGuild, correct?

Is there a newer version or set of clarifications yet for 4-1 in the mix yet? I ask because of some of the editing issues in the mod, and i'll be running it next week. Things such as the goblin/orc/orog confusion in Part 3, and the seemingly-abrupt bit in the final section of Part 5, where it...

Yeahhhhh, i think we're all done with this thread now.

Unfortunately, with the way the AL rules, are, that sort of behavior -- while suspect -- is still technically legal, assuming all the other qualifications are still met. Or was it a certed item? Someone trying to get an uncerted magic item they are unlikely to ever use is pretty rare and...

Man, you must be fun at parties. Yes, the idea is absurd, but it's hardly ridiculous. Playing with puppets and such is classic real-world jester and entertainer stuff -- much less the idea of voodoo dolls and such -- and all of those fit quite nicely into the concept of a D&D bard. As long as...

I haven't had a chance to look over the mod yet in any detail, but I would not be terribly surprised. As I mentioned in another thread recently when the issue of min-maxing came up, there's really few reasons for players in AL to play 'normal' well-rounded characters anymore, and not purely...

True, altho the same can be said for most any mod or adventure. If all you're doing is just going from room to room looking for things to kill, that's pretty dull (even if the combat is plentiful). That said, Season 4 is Ravenloft, and Ravenloft is gothic horror, and gothic horror, by...

While 5E might not presume that any character will ever get a magic item, I'm not entirely convinced AL doesn't make that assumption, especially at higher tiers. Every OP campaign of this type begins to slowly creep up on the power scale over time, and AL has been no exception (altho with the...
