Only clerics require a deity as stated in their class description. Paladins aren't required to have a deity so unless divine souls specifically mention a deity requirement there won't be one. If it does specify a deity then it will be.

Unlikely. This topic is raised every few weeks on the FB group, and as an ex-Regional Coordinator - I can say for the record that this topic has also been largely debated to death with over 1000 pages of discussion over the past 2 1/2 years. The rule is almost certainly here to stay until the...

The reason backgrounds are allowed is due to the fact that the "Customize Backgrounds" rule exists in the PHB. In AL, this rule allows you to choose any two skills; a combination of two tools/languages; any background feature (from any existing background - you can't design your own); and any...

I don't know of any such module which specifically allows you to switch characters mid-adventure (with the exception of the mini-adventures for L1-2 characters). There is however, a rule in AL that if you break up a multi-part adventure into multiple sessions, the DM should award XP/GP at the...

Hmm I stand corrected. Most quests (with the exception of those specific quests that ask you to run the seasons HC, and/or the seasons DDEX/DDAL adventures) dont care which adventures you run and I swore that particular quest was adventure nonspecific.

you just have to run 100 hrs this season. It doesn't matter what seasons the adventures come from, so if you run a 4hr DDEX3-x adventure, it still counts as 4hrs toward the current quest

Assuming I am understanding you correctly, you do realize you are asking for the development and testing time of every new product to likewise increase exponentially. And what of options that 3 weeks into playtesting they realize creates a broken combo with X+Y+Z obscure combination from 3...

As a general rule - the only things that are guaranteed to carry over, are spells/effects/creatures which are specifically granted as rewards during an adventure, and which you can point to a page reference for. If it is a spell you cast yourself, you are subject to DM interpretation as that...

You do realize that it becomes increasingly more difficult to balance new rules mechanics against all existing options. With just the options in the PHB to consider, there are thousands of rules interactions that any new rule/subclass/feat/etc needs to be benchmarked against. With each new book...

Actually, the ruling also applies to Simulacrum, undead created via animate dead (or similar), or any other spell effect whose duration may extend beyond the duration of the adventure. As I understand it, DMs are free to allow/disallow any NPC or summoned entity which came from a different...

Wave & Whelm are likewise banned from AL play. Keeping any of those three items causes you to retire your character until such times as you remove it from your possession (justification is that you have to go to ground as you are being hunted by its rightful owner and the mercenaries they have...

I have forwarded the link to the twitter thread to the AL group

Thanks for the update Pauper, I will update the main post with the changes for each season once I get a bit of downtime

To date no. If/when it will be AL legal will depend entirely upon it being listed in the DDAL Player's pack - and even then, it would likely count as the player's +1 resource. I would treat it like UA material - its nice to have for a home game, but ignore completely for AL purposes

If (and I do stress "if") the UA ranger is included in XGE - do you think there will be an option to rebuild existing rangers to the new ranger? Also, since XGE would count as their PHB+1, would this therefore preclude things like goblins from using the UA ranger?

Yes. The only restriction is that unless you are a monk - you cannot use your unarmed strike while wielding a weapon (by RAW). I have a slightly more liberal interpretation and only restrict characters from using weapons and unarmed strikes in the same turn (monks excluded)

Not really. Based on my experience with both the DndNext playtest and UA- I don't assume that the UA material comes with anything more than barebones fluff. That and fluff doesn't really need playtesting and so could change with no notice and it wouldn't affect the features in any way.

Favoured souls aren't AL legal at this time. Until we see them in their final form in a printed book (possibly XGE), we have no idea and it is pointless to speculate

Not only does this not work but you also are misinformed as to how spell levels work. When you upcast a spell, it becomes a spell of its new level. Using your example, conjure animals in a 7th level slot is treated as a 7th level pull for all game effects with one singular exception - Tiamat...

Sorry, in AL this is not true outside of running three separate hardcovers. The only way it is possible is to run Curse of Strahd first (to get the dark gift), then run OotA to get the Maze Engine effect, and then run Yawning Portal or SKT and get a lucky roll for a tome. This is extremely...
