This has all sorts of RP potential written all over it because of my familiar being a Sprite. Turn on the Sprite's invisibility while the snake is wrapped around my arm, I'm a ventriloquist... More like

Good. The data entry for AL purposes is tedious enough as is for public play. Even with the XML importing feature of the WER, it still takes a while to get everyone entered. I don't have the patience to input progression for every single player and DM. The simple headcount tracking that is...

Jumping into CoS at 5th level means that you're going to starting near the midpoint of the level range for the adventure. If it were up to me, these would be my best options: 1. Forget about running LMoP and go straight into CoS. Death House covers all three pillars of play...

Giant Poisonous Snake sounds like it'll work perfectly with the archery build. I think that going with Half-Drow is the way to go. I'll update the first post to reflect it. Which class should be the 1st level class, Ranger or Warlock? Essentially, it comes down to which is more important...

Where's the rule that allows familiars to share Magic Resistance? I've scoured through all of the books and found no such rule.

Duly noted, however conjure spells would eat up my concentration slot, which is currently dedicated to Faerie Fire. Plus, this is for an AL character. Managing three turns is enough of a time-sink as it is. I'd rather not bog down combat any further by bringing in the conjure spells. Also...

If there was ever an easy way to "fix" any perceived "problem" caused by certain builds becoming too ubiquitous, it would be to add NPCs to adventures that showcase builds that don't see much play. I know that the rules for monster creation are slightly different from the rules for player...

Thanks for the clarification! Normally, I just treated them as standard Humans because I wasn't sure of what would get modified. The only reason that I was thinking of using Genasi is because that particular encounter happens while the party is still in Faerun. If it was in Barovia, then...

I plan on making a Chainlock/Beastmaster. The idea is to use the familiar as an invisible dispensary of Goodberries and healing spells, while the companion and/or I attack on my turn or I drop a support spell. I know that this is a bit of a late-bloomer build, so I'm primarily using DM Rewards...

I think that it's more a matter of certain race/class combos are more prevalent than others. Every class has a nonhuman race that synergizes with it. It's natural to see more of those builds than ones which would be considered suboptimal. However, when you only see the dominant builds appear at...

I have a few questions regarding when a creature's stat block says humanoid (any race). For ease of replying, I'll put each question on a separate line. What exactly am I allowed to choose from? Are any of the PC races allowed? Do I get to choose subraces, if applicable? Can VHuman be...

I agree with you, except that the light emitted from these items is an explicit part of their magical properties. That makes their particular light magical, rather than natural.

The first bold section is what I believe allows the light-emitting magical items to suppress the effects of Darkness. The light that they shed is magical, therefore the first bold section doesn't apply. The second bold section would only apply if the items were casting a spell, and not creating...

How would everyone rule the interaction between a Sun Blade and Darkness? Does the light emitted negate the sphere of darkness? While this would also apply to other magic items that emit light such as Frost Brand, Flametongue, and items with the Beacon minor property, Sun Blade is probably the...

With this build, I'd go with a spell component pouch instead of a holy symbol & arcane focus. The single pouch would cover both spell lists. The only reason to go with a holy symbol is if you plan on getting a magic staff/rod/wand that can be used as an arcane focus.

Lawful Evil is an allowed alignment in the AL rules. However, you need to note that your only options for factions as a LE character are Lords Alliance or Zhentarim.

Rather than start a new thread about it, this seems like the ideal place to ask this question. Are there going to be cert files sent for the rest of Curse of Strahd, or are the Death House items going to be the only certed items for the hardcover? I'm assuming that the versions of the DDAL...

To be more specific, it can only be used on characters with that particular Story Origin. The certificate can be redeemed on a character made in another season, but must use the Story Origin of the season that awarded the certificate.

Yes. Specific trumps General. The rules for shoving are General when compared against the rules for Tripping Attack and Pushing Attack.
