Paladin 6/Sorc 5/Warlock 3 (Shield, etc from Sorc) I recommend going Paladin 6 straight to get that sweet sweet aura. Then 2-3 levels of Warlock for invocations + rechargable slots. Then Sorcerer 1 for Shield, then another of Warlock if you only went 2, then the rest in Sorc. If that's too...

FYI, Shadowdweller00, you're wrong. Basic rules of logic and interpretation. 3.5 had the rule and specific clarification you are relying on. 5e does not have that specific clarification any longer. By definition, that means the specific rule you're quoting was removed. If it was intended to...

Okay I'm sorry, but let's be honest. If you're that hard up that you or one of your players can't drop a few bucks (less than the cost of one beer, much less how ever else I would spend my free evenings), about .2 seconds of googlefu gets you the modules for free. Honestly, I'm glad they're...

Yeah, I'm calling bull on Sorcs being under powered because a lack of spells known. 1. Dragon Sorcs get significantly higher (relative to Wizards) HP and Con saves. That alone is worth its weight in gold. They also effectively get +1 spells known because they don't need to prepare Mage Armor...

The difference is definitely not insignificant. It's extremely significant, especially in T2+. You have mobs swinging for 20 damage average and you can short rest prevent that from being 40+??? Sign me up.

So I feel like this hasn't really been discussed: http://www.sageadvice.eu/2016/01/06/can-i-cancel-a-20-with-cutting-words/ Personally I vehemently disagree with that, but it's straight from the horse's mouth so to speak. Does AL have an official stances on this? I know the normal line...

I fully agree that the BDM shouldn't have been given out at all 6 tables that I was at. Yet it was. Same will happen here. DMs don't read the adventure thoroughly before running it, which means paragraphs get skipped over as they hurriedly look for stat blocks and room references. But if...

1. Players do exactly that. 2. You can grappled and restrain her (Once it was a failed Suggestion save) then loot her room before killing her. 3. You can kill her and the DM doesn't read the text correctly and hands the cert out anyways. This happened at 2 of the tables I was at...

Yeah except every single table that I have been on that has ran Chapter 8 of HotDQ (currently at 6 times) has been rewarded the BDM. I get that if tables worked how the author and AL organizers intended then this wouldn't be an issue, but they don't. DMs don't know the exact mechanics and are...

^^^ See what I mean? I'm sorry but the defenses in place are CLEARLY intended to prevent any way of an even remotely appropriately leveled party to gain access to that sort of gear, yet DMs are going to find a way to give it to them anyways. Same with the Wand of Orcus, etc.

Couldn't agree more, IF that's how it worked. But that was sort of the logic behind the Black Dragon Mask and yet I saw dozens of those back in Season 1. Just seems that AL might want to take a closer look before dumping certs out if there are items that are clearly not intended to be...

Agreed, but why have certs for it then? You know players are going to roll up to tables with those items, especially the dwarven one.

That's what I thought, but then see Kalani's post above where magic items (with certs) weren't in Treasure sections but are AL Legal.

It does not appear to be addressed in the amendments. I am thinking the stuff on page 82 of the hardcover.

So I'm going to keep this as vague as possible to keep people from abusing knowledge about magical items within the adventure. But suffice to say, there is access to some AMAZING magical items in OotA, in theory. One example is the Wand of Orcus, which has been ruled to not be AL legal...

I think the idea is that the clear "upgraded" mount for a Paladin are the Pegasus/Nightmare/Hippogriff/etc. But I can understand restricting them to the ones particular in the spell because the Paladin is pretty beastly already, and letting them have even stronger mounts would be a bit much...

Well that's pretty freaking stupid. What's the point of even giving it an intelligence then? I'd be surprised if this isn't retracted. After all, the "share spells" with your mount is clearly intended for combat buffs like Haste, etc. Given how :):):):):):) they designed the Beastmaster I...

I know. And the PHB defines Independent Creature as Intelligent Creature. Find Steed = Intelligent Creature. Ergo, Find Steed = Independent Mount, just as the normal PHB rules for a mount says. So your mount can attack while the Paladin is mounted and it acts "independently" (aka player...

Res (Wisdom). You need to shore up that weak save quick because you're starting to hit when a lot of monsters have attacks/abilities that target Wisdom. Also, might want to look at doing a 1 level dip into Cleric. Pick up Bless/Guidance/War Bonus attack/Divine Favor. Divine Favor is great...

I don't see why that matters? It's normal mount rules as an intelligent mount (which it is).
