    Death Curse Surrogates

    Thanks for all the great info. Apparently, I got the situation wrong, and the Paladin failed all three death saves with rolling a nat 1 on the first roll. A lot of this information this thread provided is still very useful for the situation though. Thanks again. EDIT: Just wanted to also say, I...

    Death Curse Surrogates

    When leveling up (can they?), can they only choose spells from the PHB? If tortles are considered XGE, can they choose spells from there?

    Death Curse Surrogates

    Wait, I see that Surrogates aren't playable out side of S7 or CCC events. I guess that changes everything.

    Death Curse Surrogates

    So last night my weekly AL game had a PC die. We're playing LMoP and the Paladin took 49 damage. His max was 37 but he was down to 21. Since this was more than double his HP the DM declared it an instant death. (Is that right?) Anyways, since it is S7, does he get a ToA Surrogate? We all...

    Racial Feats on D&D Beyond

    Cool. Looks like a bunch of Volo's races but i did notice a Tortle feat. Since Tortles are considered XGtE +1, I thought it 'might' have counted. Thanks for the clarification.

    Racial Feats on D&D Beyond

    Are they AL legal? I can't see a clear answer in the other forum.... or I don't want to wade through 10 pages of posts.

    TridentCon - Baltimore, MD last weekend

    Well, I attended TridentCon last weekend in Baltimore for the 2nd time. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations. Not only for the amenities but the organization as well. The event was in a run down VFW that is going to be moved/sold soon. This didn't take away from the experience...

    Unearthed Arcana Four New Elf Subraces in Unearthed Arcana

    Avariel, f*ck yeeeeaaah. I miss the brittle bones aspect though. My characters were always nervous to take physically risky tasks or adventures in risky spaces. Cage/Bar fight? Heeeeeeeell NO. Dungeon crawl? Uh, this isn't a good idea guys!

    What do I need to know for my first AL game?

    THIS. Bring a bunch of characters to help balance the group. Those of us not playing EdgeLords or a$$hole fighters/barbarians will greatly appreciate it. I mainly play support style characters and have been stuck at inbalanced tables many times. Basically too many fighters/barbarians or too...

    D&D 5E The Nature of the Shield Spell

    Every DM I've ever played with does this.

    D&D 5E The Nature of the Shield Spell

    Fireball doesn't emanate from a central point. It engulfs a whole area simultaneously. Including within your shield, aka the space your body occupies. We know this because all those within take equal damage.

    D&D 5E The Nature of the Shield Spell

    Shield is a reaction, that's why you should know the roll. Basically, you know you're going to get hit, whether or not you take the damage is up to the caster. Something like, 'Oh sh*t, shield isn't going to work on that. OUCH!' Also, since it lasts a round then I'd say it's a surrounding...

    D&D 5E Reach weaon and opportunity attack

    Don't think of an AoO on just an opponent in front of you. Properly positioned you can attack one opponent and have a separate opponent just within range (but out of range with their weapon). Attack one and get an AoO on the other when it moves. Tactically, I think this is the benefit of...

    Exempting Races from the +1 rule

    I only play AL. I like the checks and balances of organized play. Also, if there is a bad rule, everyone has to use it. I play one weekly table, one monthly table, and most cons in the area.

    Con Created Content (CCC) - Are they any good?

    I like Trident. Went last year and had a good time. The only bad experiences I had were from combative players trying to tell other players what to do and bickering over magic items. Soooooo... yeah, a regular Con experience. :) Another question though, if AL provides the framework, then is...

    D&D 5E Kenku - Poorly thought out race no matter how cool

    D&D 5E Kenku - Poorly thought out race no matter how cool

    I'd like to think that the training of any young Kenku would include a week of spell memorization. Anyone have the stats on total casting times of all spells? Basically, whether or not you want to be a spellcaster you'd have all the sounds in backup. Those with high INT, which a caster would...

    Con Created Content (CCC) - Are they any good?

    I'll be attending TridentCon in Baltimore next month and I see they have a couple of CCC tables. Has anyone run/played in one of these? Are they any good? The Baltimore content is apparently Edgar Allan Poe themed.
