Mostly just as a means of killing time before the announcement is made. Plus, with AL still in its infancy, paying attention to the way WotC handles certain things could yield insight into how similar situations are handled in the future. This time around, we get to see what happens when new...

Oh well... Either way, the latest ride on the D&D hype train has only a week left before we find out the fate of the SCAG. I'm just excited at the possibility of people making Sorcerers outside of the Fire Dragonborn Draconic variety at my FLGS. I no longer assist in the creation of any more FDDS's.

This is a great guide. You should see about getting it added to guide collection post in the CharOp forum, as this is a handy guide to stretch your starting gold.

But surprisingly just the right amount of metal.

Then that must mean...I'm shutting up now, but I think my Passive Insight just found a clue about this upcoming announcement...

Arcana Clerics from the SCAG can be gishy. Start with a Fighter dip for proficiencies and Dueling. Potent Spellcasting adds your Wis to cantrip damage, including the primary damage of Greenflame Blade and Boom Blade. Grab a ranged attack as your other free Wizard cantrip to give yourself a...

Those kinds of certs are fine by me. They add PC diversity in a controlled manner, all without unfairly taking options away from the rest of the AL community. I also think it'll put a damper on the cert resale market, as the content provided won't necessarily be as "exclusive" as the previous...

GFB says "...you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature...green fire leaps from the target to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 5' of it..."

I need to go doublecheck the Inheritor background for that one. I can see the Paladin tenets being contradictory to those who don't go LG. Upholding the tenets laid out in your oath should be the only requirement, as those are generally more alignment-flexible. As for keeping rare player...

My gut pretty much told me the same thing about maneuvers in general, but I wanted confirmation from the devs for the sake of my AL tables. Gotta prepare for when the materials are AL legal. As for combining GFB with Sweeping Attack, it should work together. Sweeping Attack would fall under...

I think I know of an easier way of making the UA Favored Soul balanced against how Storm Sorcerer changed from UA to SCAG. This is in lieu of the bonus spells and the 18th level ability. 1. Have cantrips known come from either Sorcerer or Cleric lists. (Maintain base level blasting potential)...

Favored Soul makes more sense as being its own class, based on its history as being either melee, blaster, or support. Build a subclass geared towards each role, instead of trying to Frankenstein a spontaneous divine caster on an arcane chassis. Or at the very least, change the spell list to...

You can give yourself advantage on saving throws, including death saves.

I'm more worried about what content is going to be put behind the paywall of non-evolving con tradition, done so for no reason other than to offer a con cert at the expense of every AL player/DM who can't make the trips to cons. I don't care how long it takes to fully integrate the SCAG content...

Unless you are a Rogue and need the stealth aspect of MAM, Mobile is actually the far better feat to take for heavy armor builds that don't use Str. Monks aren't the only ones who can take advantage of it. Edit: What are some worthwhile control spells from the Cleric list? Hybrid spells like...

Just got my copy last night. I've already noted a few builds that I need to watch out for as a DM: GFB/Boom Blade Swashbucklers, Arcana Domain gishes, and variant Tieflings/Half-elves. As a player, I'm most looking forward to playing a Sun Soul Monk. Hadoukens and Kamehamehas are the order of...

In the long run, I would end up with the same AC as I would in plate. Therefore, it really becomes a matter of which feat has better secondary benefits. The pseudo-disengage of Mobile is a lot better than the stealth component of MAM. Trust me, my first thought was to take MAM, but Mobile is a...

I'm trying to put together an Arcana Cleric for when the SCAG becomes AL legal. The concept that I'm going for is a bit of a throwback to the Final Fantasy 1 Red Mage, being a magical jack of all trades but master of none. This character would be able to fill in any secondary combat position...

Don't forget that AL is still in its infancy. There may be changes down the road that would make a better fit for you. One thing I've noticed is that AL is taking the same approach as 5e as a whole; it's easier to add to a lean system than reduce a bloated one. If it turns out that certain...

Having looked at those certs, I'm now starting to think the con cert I saw was indeed a counterfeit. Pictures of the con certs should be made available to AL DMs to make sure that they are legit. If you had pics of the Death Domain and Aasimar certs, that would be useful. The further we get...
