Read the latest faq 6.1 P14: Basically a single chapter is the smallest you can run of a hardcover. That said, some chapters are simple impossible to run as a one off. They simply aren't designed around it. Also worth mentioning, is if a chapter is a particular area, theres nothing forcing the...

I think this is a wiser approach, assume its overpowered, let it be so. I don't think making a list of 20 abilities you aren't able to use in the same turn will fix it.

Glass would protect against a spell because it doesn't go through solid materials or deal damage beyond its stated effect. Think of it this way: If you could see through a wooden wall with xray vision or scrying, would your fireball go through the wall or detonate on impact? Why is the glass...

Ultimately the problem is that it turns exhaustion into a resource. Exhaustion is one of the only effects not completely recovered by a long rest. Getting 2-3 levels of exhaustion in a day would probably be an OK from a risk/reward standpoint if they were all gone the next day. But since they...

I am not really looking to report a dm/players. But I want to know what I am supposed to do as a player if I participate in a game that I do not feel like the rules of AL were followed. I joined a game that was supposed to be a chapter from a hardcover and it seemed like we were extremely rushed...

Jumping. As written there is no check involved for jumping a distance equal to your strength score, or height equal to 1/3 your strength score (provided you have a 10ft run). There is a check for clearing an obstacle during a long jump. But if there is a 10 feet wide chasm, your str 14 cleric...

To me its more of a matter of information. It's wrong if a DM says "This is the way the rule is written." It's right if a DM says "This is how we are playing this at my table." Many DMs and players do want to stick to the rules whenever possible and are simply making mistakes. Interpreting...

I have seen two mentions of player knowledge vs character knowledge. While I agree this is both assumed and enforced as needed, I don't know where this is specifically stated in the rules. This post is about RAW. The fact is lots and lots of player knowledge is assumed to also be character...

Make sure to look at booming/greenflame blade from Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. As an eldritch knight, you can use a cantrip and make an attack as a bonus action. This is really pretty much what you are describing. They have very poor spell progression (1/3 level) but get cantrips...

Passive perception is pretty much ignored by many. Cover. A creature in between an attacker and their target provides 1/2 cover or +2 armor, this even includes melee attacks with reach weapons, pretty much ignored by many. Interaction. You get to mess with your inventory or environment once...

The simplest solution for a three way battle is: 1. Heroes 2. Bad Guys 3. Mindless/territorial The mindless group could be unaffiliated zombies, wild beasts/monsters, or any faction that considers both other parties to be trespassing. If the third party is intelligent the players (and bad...

Just FYI, RAW the town of Barovia and Vallaki have all PHB items up to ~25g, which includes crossbow bolts. In fact, RAW there is no different in hand, light or heavy Crossbow bolts. You can use the same ammunition for any of the weapons. In fact, many of the vistani are "Bandit" NPCs, which...

I think you do need to address warlock gestalting, because as is, a Warlock has a different spell progression than the other classes. Would a warlock get their 2/short rest +the other spellslots or just one or the other? Also this would apply to warlock invocations. For example, if I was a...

This isn't entirely true, if you have the lucky feat, the feat requires you to see what rolls are before the hit/miss is announced. The DM doesn't tell you the modifier that is added to the roll, but most sessions the roll itself is in the open.

You do occur disadvantage, choose your reaction spell carefully or pickup crossbow expert..

Usually a strict time limit isn't in force (currently only 3 players) but if a player is taking a while to decide I will throw out a few suggestions to encourage them to pick an action and continue. I have also counted a round down when players buffed to assault a room then started discussing...

Surprise is (almost) a condition which can only affect creatures at the first round of combat (or their first round entering an existing combat). It prevents them from taking any kind of action until the end of their first turn.

See you OR be within 60ft, not AND.

I really disagree with removing darkvision not requiring any consideration. Darkvision is almost required for a scout type character in dungeons. Having light, or a torch prevents a character from sneaking ahead to get an idea of the dangers. (As the light source would instantly give your...

Id probably personally list lucky as equal to 1 ability point. Considering its like a 2.5% increased chance to succeed at at basically everything. Sent from my A1P using EN World mobile app
