I am blessed in that I have multiple groups that meet regularly, and everyone who I have introduced to D&D has enjoyed it enough to want a more regular game. Overall it makes for about 12 hours a week, with 8 of it being very regular between Wednesday Encounters for four hours at my LGS and a...

If you have those three things you're good to go. The forgotten realms has changed quite a bit since the 80's I think. I would suggest actually picking up some of the new books if that interests you. The Sundering Series has been well received by one of my friends who has read a ton of D&D...

I've been dming an Adventurer's League game for the last 6 months or so. I like it because in the group we have, I dm the Hoard of the Dragon Queen exlusively, so the players who show up on Wednesday get to play a long storyline. We've gone to Casual play for the higher levels. One or Two...

That is correct.

I have seen every combination of the above for PC's. I have one friend who will pretty much always take a feat if his scores are at least 16, and sometimes even before that (As a fighter he took shield master with a strength score of 12 when we started at level 6 rather than say boosting his...

http://media.wizards.com/2014/downloads/dnd/MM_Faridehv2.pdf That is an example they made of one of the book characters. She's built like a 12th level warlock and has all those things. But it's still a lot of space. You might be able to base something on it.

Sorcerers, Bards, Warlocks, Arcane Tricksters, Eldritch Knights, and Rangers all have spells slots and spells known. They can cast any of their spells known using their spell slots. Spell slots are regained after a long rest, except for the warlock who gets them on a short rest. Clerics, Druids...

I have many 5th edition campaigns so this won't go in to much detail. The first an oldest was the one that started with the Packets two years ago. What started as a drunken one shot has become our party of 8-11 running their own brewery and fighting against the already existing brewing...

I have never run a hexcrawl style game, but 8-9 encounters a day seems like too many based on their suggestions for Adventuring Day xp. I made a quick spreadsheet using the values in the dmg https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-v9SuXzaKBwun4Fla_BjMTdsgKzVDCaKI2SWtwZus9k/pubhtml It looks...

I would argue that you don't get to see each roll on two grounds. First Lucky says "Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw" which is not whenever you roll a die. This means that you don't use lucky on a per die basis, it's a per check basis. Second advantage and...

Based on "Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can spend one luck point to roll an additional d20. You can choose to spend one of your luck points after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined." you have two options. First you can declare...

Having read through these, it sounds great. I'm actually excited to see what happens when they hit three and get to choose their archetype. Though given the love of cantrips, I expect a quick trio of Eldritch Knights. I'm also excited to see how you handle magic items with them, the wonder of...

The dragon isn't a beast sadly, so no shaping in to it. If you, or the DM looks a stat block for a monsters, under the name in italics there is a list of traits. If beast is one of them you can wild shape in to it.

Thank you kindly. Most of my searching was somehow centered on just the Wizards site so I never actually went to the adventurer's league site. Huge oversight on my part. But this makes everything much clearer.

I just started to DM for a store last week and I wanted to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. 1) I am planning to run Lost Mines until that ends and then transition in to HotDQ or Expeditions based on player feedback at the end of it. I wanted to make sure that this is a legal route as...

I edited my post above, but Commander's strike uses the characters reaction. So you can't commander's strike and AOO. You are correct and I did say 2/turn which is wrong, and have amended it.

If you get an attack on another creature's turn while either of the conditions of sneak attack apply, you can add sneak attack damage. So an AOO or Commander's strike. As there is no other way to attack out of turn (Yet) you can get up to two Sneak attacks a round. It's a powerful...
