    Hopefully no more gremlins show up at the AL department within the next 4 days.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Schley made the Death House Maps available for free

    I wish that his player maps didn't come as a PDF. This makes it harder to edit them down to printable chunks. I want to print out the house layout as a separate page for each floor.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk/Rogue/Warlock Build questions

    Except the listed subclass is Swashbuckler. This build gets even more confusing the longer you look at it.

    Death House - available now on Dragon+

    I wish that his player maps didn't come as a PDF. This makes it harder to edit them down to printable chunks. I want to be able to print out the house layout as a separate page for each floor.

    D&D 5E (2014) Test of High Level 5E: Design 4 or 5 lvl 13 PCs for 6 to 8 encounter adventuring day

    This seems like an interesting experiment. If you want a second set of PCs to run the experiment with, let me know what were the agreed-upon rules for creation and what basic archetypes the party should include.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk/Rogue/Warlock Build questions

    What are you trying to get out of the Rogue levels? Without that piece of the puzzle, it's hard to see the whole picture.

    D&D 5E (2014) How often do you use the versatile property?

    Unless he's using Shillelagh, then his damage die would be 1d8.

    The Quest for Sporedome question *SPOILERS*

    So the magic item listed in the adventure treasure isn't actually found anywhere in the adventure itself. I've searched the PDF high and low, yet cannot find the Half-Plate of Poison Resistance. Am I allowed to place it in an appropriate location in the adventure?

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] Swashbuckler/Fighter makeshift tank

    Look at my most recent post on the Against the Grain builds thread for my Belmont Battlebuckler build, for an example of a similar build using a whip. You can easily modify it for use as an elf, if your DM won't allow you to change races as well. What type of Elf are you? If High Elf, which...

    Haunted One CoS Background

    From a RP perspective, this could be a very flavorful background. From a mechanical perspective, it's questionable to where it ranks. First thing that I noticed about it is that it only comes with one skill and one language. I get that this background gives you choices for them, which means an...

    Build-wise, what's far too common in the AL?

    Your Sorcadin sounds like someone who would have an interesting time interacting with my VHuman Fighter-dipped Sorclock. I've specced him out as a cantrip switch-hitter, using Eldritch Spammer tactics at range and GFB/BB + Mobile with a rapier when up close. Mobile is also there to offset the...

    DDAL Curse of Strahd vs. DDAL adventures

    As someone who organizes AL play for my FLGS, this is a situation that came up as soon as the CoS DDAL release schedule was posted. What I've decided to do for my table running DDAL mods is to delay running them until mid-April. That way, I'll be able to run through at least the first six...

    Build-wise, what's far too common in the AL?

    Yours is one that I'd be okay with, as I can already tell what your build probably is. Green Flame Blade/Booming Blade Fire Draconic Smitezilla? That at least appeals to my munchkin side, which I can totally respect.

    Sage Advice: Sneak Attacks, Breath Weapons, and Magic Weapons

    Attack roll uses Dex and no proficiency bonus. Damage is 1d4+Dex. Throwing a melee weapon that doesn't have the thrown property is treated as an improvised weapon with which you make a ranged weapon attack.

    Release Date for S4 Player's Guide?

    Guess I was wrong. I opted to err on the side of caution and logic. Personally, I've got a few reasons why I'm probably not going to run Death House anytime soon. 1. Waiting on ALPG 4.0/CoS so that I can let my players know exactly what options were added for this season. I know that the CoS...

    D&D 5E (2014) Favorite "Against the Grain" builds that are still effective

    I actually have a build that encompasses both of these points. I call it my Belmont Battlebuckler, and it's fully AL legal. VHuman Folk Hero (swap Animal Handling & vehicle proficiency for Perception & language) Stats: Str 10 Dex 16 Con 14 Int 8 Wis 12 Cha 14 Fighter 1/Swashbuckler Rogue...

    Release Date for S4 Player's Guide?

    I believe that Death House is probably not AL legal until March 4th. Don't quote me on that, but it's what I've surmised because the instructions say that the season starts then. Since it's part of CoS, the safe bet is to wait until the official start of the season, unless the Admins declare...

    OotA Magic Items AL Legality *spoilers*

    I disagree that all tables will always get the gear. One of my FLGS' other DM's tables was unable to get the item from DDAL2-10, because the enemy carrying it ran away before they could stop him. As for the items included in adventures, that's a decision that WotC makes, not the authors nor...

    Things to do with Downtime Days

    Perhaps reword it so that it's more in line with Orcsplitter reward for spellcasters? Allow those who have spellbooks/ritual books to add to their books. All other casters could use this to add spells to their spell list. Instead of tying to one of the core 5 factions, it could be tied to a...

    OotA Magic Items AL Legality *spoilers*

    So because I allowed the players to make a deal with a powerful ally and then had the world react accordingly to their actions, I'm a cupcake DM? The players entered the throne room with the Blackskull as their escort. As the audience began, Themberchaud began his assault on the Hold of the...
