I was referring to this FAQ entry and the fact that certain dungeons in the adventures are optimized for certain levels (this is explicit in PotA, and implied with HotDQ/RoT. Can't speak for OotA as I don't own that one yet).

In respect to 2) this is relevant only when facing creatures which are resistant/vulnerable to slashing (or piercing) damage, or when dealing with spells, abilities, items, or other features which only function with slashing/piercing/bludgeoning damage, or specific weapon types (eg. swords)...

No. You would need to make a new 1st level character (and level them) in order to play lower level adventures. As far as there being no other Tier 3 expeditions, DDEX 3-16 is a Tier 3 adventure which will be released this season, and there will be additional Tier 3 expeditions in (most, if not...

1. You can refluff weapons, but you cannot change their mechanical traits. While you could refluff a lance to be a longspear, it would have all the mechanical traits of a lance (including the special property). Refluffing a glaive would still deal slashing damage however (we are not allowed to...

Some of the critical events are posted on the DndAL website (such as the major damage dealt to Mulmaster in the Season 2 Epic and covered in the article: Indeed, Mulmaster is Undone ). Other critical events determine what happens in later adventures. I don't think you will ever get a recap of...

No. Only equipment listed as treasure can be kept. Equipment taken off enemies is worthless and breaks at the end of the session.

I don't see an issue with modifying HPs (up to their maximum for the creature) - but by RAW, yes it is a grey area afaik

Altering spells is a grey area, as modifying a creature (eg. equipment) is found in the DM Workshop section of the DMG (a chapter devoted exclusively to optional/variant rules). With that being said however, altering spells is briefly touched upon in the MM as well. When it comes to altering...

Should work now (accidentally unclicked the "share" button)

That's weird as they are both in the same Google drive, same permissions. Anyone else having problems with the link (which I have triple tested to work for me even when not signed in to google+). What browser?

That is an excellent idea. The downside however, is that for it to work - WotC (and their partners) would need to publish a hardcover ravenloft adventure (as Encounters makes use of the hardcover adventures). As the admins have no say when it comes to these (hardcover) adventures, their input...

They don't have starting lifestyles atm. Working rule is to find a similar background and to use that LS u Gil the new players guide. Works for most Bgs with the exception of inheritor and maybe faction agent.

Sacred cows are a trap. As long as the changes happen at the start of a season, and that we have a method by which existing characters can be ported over to the changes - it's all good. Any change (no matter how small) will upset some players, and make others happy. Allowing PCs to choose from a...

While I know Ravenloft was moved to the Shadowfell in 4E (and remains there in 5E, as mentioned briefly on p51 of the DMG), it has always been a closed demiplane which is difficult to escape from. Personally, I am inclined to think that characters who become trapped in Ravenloft would be unable...

Malady of Elventree was an aberration. Most of the expeditions I have run over the last 3 seasons had their reporting period end approximately 3-6 weeks after it became available for general play. As I said above, it depends on when the premier events are run as to how much time remains on the...

There are qr codes on the back of adventures giving most played about a month to report feedback (although some Ascentures have shorter windows due to the timing on premiers). Stores are supposed to report table attendance however

Another detail that most people overlook, is the fact that many of the NPCs list their race as (any). As such, feel free to add racial stats to their base stat block. In an effort to save time, I simply add the racial traits without worrying about their racial stat modifiers, and frequently...

Minor Update: I have moved my custom DM logsheet and Character Logsheet to a google drive. The links should now work for everyone. Thank you for your patience with the inaccessable DM logsheet due to permissions. P.S: Does anyone know how to deal with the spacing issues in Enworlds BBCode? I...

In respect to the original post Not all stores schedule regular games. This is unfortunate, but it does occur. It is also unfortunate you have been unable to play. While I understand that only some players are allowed to be DMs (this is the store's perrogative as we don't police game store...

Honestly, I think that this thread has derailed from it's original point. When the OP started speaking negatively about a lifestyle he was uncomfortable with (without going into any specifics - only veiled allusions), it kind of gets people defensive. I myself have been in polyamorous...
