I think I am going to take a stab at this. I'll try to limit it to much less than one page...perhaps a half-sheet card which can double as a bookmark. I think Tyranthraxus is right, in most cases, it will get left behind, so short, sweet and just the basics. Turns out, there are some good...

Edit (11/25/2015): Since it looks like I've gotten most of the feedback I'm going to get, I wanted to share the completed pamphlet. I'll try to act as a custodian in case people have more ideas/feedback. The goal was to create something which can be handed to a new player (who shows up 5...

Hey all, So we just started Out of the Abyss last week, and ran into a bit of confusion regarding items which the party members already had from previous adventures. The scenario strips all of the character's items from them when they're thrown into the pen. For the mundane items, there was...

Keep in mind that most players are using the point buy, not rolling. So they'll have a high state of 16, not 18. But if you can get a high Dex, go for it. It will help with your ranged attacks and AC. As far as stealth goes, many parties end up rolling group stealth checks, so having a...

I'll be honest, I am weighing the "slight" increase in the class features against brand new shinies. (an increase in a d8 to a d10 or d10 to d12 are not big changes) I think a lot of my decision will come down to me sitting down with the book and examining the 6th and higher level spells...

Thanks. I knew the last part (that it counts against the total) from conversations with others, but the way the certs read, the 'starting character' part was not clear to me. I'll peruse the FAQ for other stuff.

This came up once on the Wizards forums, but I'm not able to find the thread. I know the magic items you can get from a cert is not tradeable. But do I have to create a brand new character to use it? Or can I apply it to an existing character. I'd like to be able to give it to the...

I think this replaces the long winded version I have posted on the outside of my screen...

One of the reasons that an AL DM *should* engage in conversations about what players are choosing for their characters is because there's a goal of everyone having fun. While some people (for example, Kalani) have figured out ways to play an evil character in a way that is fun for other...

So I like this guide. A lot. I certainly agree with your opening line that bards have a poor reputation as a class, but this has been one of the more enjoyable characters I've played. After playing a bard in AL up through lvl 9, I don't see a lot that I would disagree with. (I gravitate...

This was also a conversation on the Wizards forums, and I'll say what I said there. There are three types of DMs in AL that I've run across. DMs who are in the stores to run games. This is their preferred seat at the table, and for them, rewards like XP and gold are usually less valuable...

I think you're right that things would get complicated quickly because some classes get their subclass at level 1 and 2 (even in the example you've chosen, your wizard has chosen a school). Also, what would happen if the player decided after taking three levels of Bladesinger that they want to...
