If you're going to run the DDAL modules, I would probably go with either the DDAL1-X or DDAL2-X lines first. They are the easiest ones to get new players into, as it doesn't have the extra baggage of Madness/non-human racism from DDAL3-X and the player lockout that comes with the DDAL4-X line.

Am I pleased that WotC is actually reading DMsG products and featuring them? Yes. Am I pleased with the notion that we're losing half of the new playtest mechanics distributed in a year because of this? Not in the slightest. Having new semi-official mechanics to look at each month was the...

What about "upgrading" monsters to those that aren't in the encounter, but are of the same type? Using your hypothetical bugbear scenario, would it be okay to add a bugbear chief to an encounter that had no chief present. This same logic would apply to turning derros into derro savants or thugs...

Shillelagh is not a Concentration spell. It lasts 1 minute per casting. You can still use Haste while Shillelagh is in effect. Not that it matters anymore because Kilgore has decided against MI, but it at least answers the question that was brought up to explain the position.

Thanks for the info. I went ahead and sent my RC a pm regarding the application. Hopefully, I should hear back from him within the next couple days.

In trying to acquire the Death House certs, I came to the realization that my state is awkwardly split up when it comes to LCs. There is one who lives in and governs Central Florida (covering Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, and Melbourne), while the other has responsibility over the rest of the state...

Is there a reasonable timeframe that stores should be expecting to receive the email? I've tried contacting both LCs for my state with no response.

Most of the time I just use the Gender table when determining the composition of enemy groups. Sexuality rolls are made whenever PC interaction warrants it. The male Tiefling in my OotA table has had quite the affair with the innkeeper at Blingdenstone. His numerous successful "Seduction"...

I remember them. They were the first explicitly same sex couple I've seen in an adventure, but not the first gay NPCs that I've used. Whenever an NPC doesn't have an explicit reference to either gender or sexual orientation, I do a series of d% rolls to determine them. Here's the scale that I...

Perfectly legal. Truthfully, most people at my tables don't bother with customizing backgrounds. The few that do do it either for a skill relevant to the background or trading a useless tool proficiency (I'm looking at you, vehicles) for a more useful tool/language.

You have access to the feat, but don't get it automatically.

Well I don't have a doctorate in D&D math, so I went for a decision that doesn't require mastery of statistics. If you want a challenge thread that encompasses all of the mathematical minutiae of D&D, go make one yourself. More power to you if you do, but I don't have the time to take every last...

Deep Gnomes are the only non-PHB subrace that can be used with either the EEPC or SCAG, but not both at the same time. The feat is allowable, but must be taken in lieu of an ASI, like any other feat.

The DDAL4-X adventures are designed to be run consecutively and separate from CoS. Unlike previous seasons, these were written as two contiguous storylines, DDAL4-1 to DDAL4-6 and DDAL4-7 to DDAL4-14. I wouldn't bother trying to mix them with CoS, as they have modified xp progression when...

If you're looking for a combination of combat and utility, then go for a Half-Elf Arcane Trickster 15/Bladesinger 5. You'll have 8 skill proficiencies, 4 Expertise, Dex/Int/Wis saves, 3rd level rituals, 5th level spell slots, 5 ASIs to max out Dex/Int and grab a feat, 22 AC while bladesinging...

That's why I started this thread, to prevent wholesale blanket rulings against magic items while morphed. Otherwise, you're going to create an environment where Moon Druids feel like taking magic items is pointless to them, thus lessening their enjoyment when a magic item pops up. As someone...

Supposedly it's special certs for items in Death House. Unfortunately, my store hasn't received them yet, even though I registered for the LE as soon as the window opened. Hopefully they arrive before I start running it next month.

Btw, when can we expect the DM Quest stuff to be uploaded to DMsGuild?

All I did was click the link, clicked the download button, opened it with Windows Explorer, extracted the files, and then profit!

Try again. It worked just fine for me right now.
