Target audience.... I would say no.....powergaming community is never the target audience for a game, especially DnD. My point is that the designers should include their perspective as well as the other extreme of heavy roleplay when adding to the game

I found the video a bit disconcerting due to her comments. In my opinion, she plays the game on a fringe, that fringe being heavy roleplay. There is nothing wrong with that if you can find a group of like-minded individuals that enjoy the game like you do. However, from a centrist...

Skerritt, Curious now, was there given any reasoning / logic as to why no rebuild? It appears to be very inconsistent of what was allowed for in the past

Thank you Skerrit.. Will there be a free rebuild due to Xanather much like what is happening when SCAG came out? If so or not, when will that communication come out to the public

Does a player's guideline exist yet? If so, can someone furnish a link to it please If not, can someone furnish a response as to when the guideline will be published and out to the public. Thanks

Horus, Feel blessed that it hasn't to you.... that situation can be very, very ugly if it happens

Horus, Points 1 and 2 go hand in hand.... since you stated it is your perception of what an appropriate challenge should be, it is very possible and likely that you will over estimate the party at some point... then at that point, what do you do when you TPK the party? Point 2 has nothing to...

Stalker, Maybe to your assertation.... if an NPC villain or otherwise had an int of 22 or higher.... I would think that NPC would have already had thought about that counter and would have thought through what to do if the party did this and/or did that.... hence what I am saying about DM...

To Horus... Most AL mods at Tier 4 need some work.... probably the one you can run out of the box is Windows to the Past.... mechanically challenging but story immersion totally sucks.... If you were playing a Harper or actively playing your alignment truly... a player would be forced into...

Horus, With all due respect... AL is a different beast altogether... the DM in AL is limited to the story that the author has wrote and most of them are very light in challenging a party of Tier 4 level unless the DM at the table prepares to amplify the lethality of the encounters. In a...

In response to Paul Ming's post... As a player at that table... I would be absolute OK with that end if the DM has those contingencies already written out in his or her preparation. If that outcome was a result of just reacting to what the players stated they were going to do... then I call BS...

To the OP... My first piece of advice is to end the game and start over at Level 1 because if you are having trouble at level 15, it only gets worse off in your case as the party increases level...especially when 9th level spells come into play. If you insist on continuing your game, then in...

I don't know if this has been mentioned... When I DM, this is how I handle counterspell.. As DM and my creature is casting a spell... I also include the level of spell that is being cast.... For players at my table... I ask them to do the same... This is done for several reasons... 1. No...

To Pauper, You should really read what you write and take some time to think before you respond. Yes, I think it is an Admin outlier that they disallowed Blackrazor and I wrote et al... meaning those other weapons that are usually associated with Blackrazor...Wave and Whelm. Considering they...

And to clarify my position... I do not have concerns about balance any longer....AL can do whatever it wants I posted my concerns in year 1 and said the guidelines in place were not conducive for OP long term and itemized and elaborated on each what each of those guidelines were and why. I...

Not to sound too contrary, but isn't too late for that? Whatever retcon the admins plan there is going to be a block of people who will not appreciate it. Too much water has flowed under the bridge, we are now in our 7th or 8th year in this campaign and NOW the Admins are talking about balance...

To answer your question... "$2,500: I will design a new option for an existing class, such as a sorcerous origin or warlock patron, to your specifications. The subclass will be balanced against existing options. You will receive a cert allowing you to play this subclass in Adventurers League."...

And another thing..... Even if something is highly improbable, does not make it impossible to do. In the world they call Organized Play, as a DM are you going to take that 10 to 15 minutes and perhaps longer to argue the validity of a player's character? That is just wasted time in a 4 hour...

Pauper, By writing of the Hazirawn example... you are making my point. Hazirawn was the tip of the iceberg and set the precedent of what was to come. What you say about Blackrazor et al is true but I would argue that it is an anomaly, an outlier. If the admin were serious about organized...

My point to the first item is that AL is already out of control. Normally, when I occasionally DM, I am usually DMing the higher tiers. In the last 3 months, I have had characters with the following: 1. 2 Stats at 22 with 5 feats... mostly from pulling cards from a Deck of Many Things. 2. A...
