    Necromancy and AL

    Not sure where you got that undead can't recover health. Animate dead can recover hp via hit dice, the healer feat, and can still use long rests. Undead during shortrests: http://www.sageadvice.eu/2015/05/11/healing-undead-minions/ My DM allows a couple undead to roll over, as long as I'm not...

    Also the animated broom indicates to use the flying sword. That is new too.

    Necromancy and AL

    PGB Page 203 "Schools of Magic" "Creating the undead through the use of necromancy spells such as animate dead is not a good act, and only evil casters use such spells frequently." That being said, I play a good RP Necromancer bard. The madness of the demons twisted his Revivify spell into...

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

    I'd say I've seen a ton of battlemaster fighters. It is just so good at laying the smack down it seems.

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

    We had a bad druid for about 10 sessions. I personally tried to help him but after session 3 I gave up, he just wasn't listening or didn't care or something. He argued that druid circle spells were abilities, didn't know what cantrips were (until session 7), didn't know he could shape shift...

    Release Date for S4 Player's Guide?

    Anything published by WotC is legal when it is released. (Per AL Admin). Robert Adducci confirmed this module is currently playable. SO you can start now if you want. (We are starting tomorrow night).

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

    Race diversity not character diversity. I would argue that opening up feats at level 1 makes the characters more diverse but agree that the races become less diverse. I mean I've seen a human variant monk with mage slayer because his character hates casters and a human variant moon druid with...

    Season 4 Curse of Strahd and Adventurers League

    Origins Kicks off Season 5 with DDEX5-1 (according to WotC). So sounds about right.

    Death House - available now on Dragon+

    It's in the back of the CoS book. Future seasons will have store exclusives. The changes this season were too fast. What interests me more is that this is already out and we still have 2 weeks till early launch. This is like early early launch. (Double early?)

    Druid/Monk AL legal stuff (Pulling out of a different thread)

    "You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield" Ahh, I believe I understand what you are getting at now. "Would having natural weapons prevent you from being considered unarmed for the purpose of the martial...

    What sort of character will you build for Curse of Strahd?

    A new thread has been created so we can actually talk about character builds in this thread.

    Druid/Monk AL legal stuff (Pulling out of a different thread)

    Yes the vampire has an unarmed strike that does 1d8+4 damage. Why would a vampire doing 1d8+4 damage prevent a giant elk hurting someone if it kneels on them. An unarmed strike does not specifically refer to claws. It can be anything as per crawford tweet. Half correct. It does not mention...

    What sort of character will you build for Curse of Strahd?

    http://www.sageadvice.eu/2014/09/25/unarmed-kick-elbow-head/ Up to the DM and leave it there, IMO. Either way the focus of the thread has really derailed. A friend and I rolled randomly to determine class/ race/ and backgrounds. I will be playing a halfling Paladin with a PTSD soldier...

    Free DM's Guild Five-Star Freebies

    I just wanted to shout, cheer, and do a quick victory dance. Recipe Crafting for Consumables just hit 100 sales and 750 overall downloads (when you include free). So I'm going to go back and make some drop in monsters for everyone that use the new mechanics. (Assassins with crippling poison...

    Winter Fantasy 2016 DD Experience Impressions from Track C

    Comparing to some of the other starter scenarios, I enjoyed it a bit more. But I may be biased because I like the horror and gothic setting. Our DM did a great job and describing the mists and how we were sucked into Barovia at the end. Granted we are talking about the quick 1 hour adventures...

    Winter Fantasy 2016 DD Experience Impressions from Track C

    "I sense magic" "No :):):):) Herlock" was the phrase of the con. too funny. I've also been telling everyone about pooping griffons.

    DM rewards for running Adventurer's League - what are your thoughts?

    The original files were created with InDesign at WotC (AFAIK). Anyone who has worked with that program can tell you how amazing it is with complexity and detail. Unfortunately it is not as simple as opening word and changing a few things.
