One option the floating ASIs open for me is playing a MAD class such as monk, paladin, or barbarian without being forced to pick a race that has a boost in at least 1 of those stats. Say what you will about whether you can notice a 5% difference, a 10% difference is very noticeable. This is...

Whenever I see a thread on flying it seems to me that it's a clash of expectations rather than flight being the only problem. I agree on pretty much all of the points made by Erechel in the old part of the thread. In addition, I have played several flying characters and while they get some...

Disappointing game, very loud store. Alternatively, Witchlight with very little roleplay.

Ok, I just realized I have over 70 characters and none of them have funny names. The closest I can get is a kobold named Civip, and that's just draconic for Frost. As for characters I've seen, I know I've run into a few but can't remember any names to save my life.

Random faction missions in Waterdeep.

Explored house. Skeletons in closet.

Saved Dragon. Unlocked Holy Avenger.

I haven't seen one, and was wondering the same thing. Do we have the ability to make wiki threads again?

I've never DM'd, but as a player I'd be fine with a whitelist system with curated races. I'd also be okay with a blacklist, but only if there were actual reasons behind banning just those few races. I did go through a phase where I wanted to play weird race/class combinations, but now that I've...

Actually, the rule is about bonus action spells specifically. If you cast a bonus action spell, the only other spells you can cast on that turn are cantrips with a casting time of 1 action. That means you can actually cast 2 spells on your turn, as long as none of them are a bonus action...

Joke answer: We finally have a vote for writing "the second" after the character's name. Real answer: While I wouldn't actually do what the poll says exactly, I do reuse character concepts and backstories I liked. If I lost a character in a long running campaign, I would probably take one of my...

As someone who actually plays AL nearly exclusively, this really doesn't change much. The key reason being that sage advice, even the compendium, isn't actually binding even in AL. The FAQ document calls it out as a resource, but then adds the disclaimer that the DM can utilize sage advice at...

AL doesn't actually ban spells, the only ones they've done anything about were simulacrum and wish. Even then they just banned sim chains and limited wish to not lasting more than one session if you go outside the list.

I'm in the camp of one floating and one or two fixed boosts, similar to how they did kalashtar and warforged in Rising from the Last War.

You don't need xanathar's guide, that's pretty much all mechanical options with no lore. Your players would probably appreciate being able to use the subclasses in it though. Sword coast adventurer's guide has an overview of many regions along the west edge of the continent, but I'd imagine the...

I tend to be split about 50/50, but part of that is because I like lore exact names and backstories for my characters. Combine that with being addicted to character building and I ended up with 50+ characters. In the process I started running out of names for some of the races, which influenced...

I don't have much opinion on the others, but if you are considering elven accuracy there's no point in delaying it and taking wisdom to 19 because you only need 18 to get to the next modifier and elven accuracy gets you there plus gives other benefits. Then you can take a +2 wisdom any time...

I hate to contradict others in this thread, but AL rules specifically state that you can't transfer gold between player characters. The only exception is pitching in to raise someone from the dead.

Current season is season 9, as previously mentioned. The rules for starting with a common item are: You can't have chosen to take Plane-Touched Wings(the season 9 option that lets you make an aasimar or tiefling and get wings at 5th level), and the item can't be magical armor, weapons, wondrous...

There's no official ruling, so that puts it back to ask your dm. In my experience, most dms won't let you do something like that for actual gain. If you keep it confined to flavor, for example the noble fighter with a retainer that cleans him using prestidigitation, that would probably be okay.
