Truth, which was my first point. Rest of the post was because I grew up in 'moose country' so Elk anatomy is a kindred topic.

Lets quote the actual rule to start with: "You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the...

* DM Discretion. I've yet to meet a DM that would permit a belt to be used while in Wildshape form, even the elementals.

Just FYI, the first Encounter with the Black Pudding and Kua-toa can be super duper deadly, if you realize the power of Auto-grapple on hit + movement under water. Suddenly all of your spell casters are sucking because they can't do Verbal component spells and attacks to hit are almost always...

Pretty much. The ideal for me would be a Summary of each module and how it ties into the greater plotline of the Season (like we have for Season 1). I know Season 3 pretty well so I feel comfortable enough knowing which NPC are relevant (and which aren't) but I'm not 100% confident on that.

For some added fun to the top: For each 5ft of AoE reduction, add one damage die. Do it under the fluff of the Wizard learning to make the damage more concentrated in a smaller space.

Damn, was hoping there would be more. I know we requested them a while back but no responses. I prefer not to ask on FB as several of my players use that medium. Any idea where you saw the recap Darjr?

So the party finished Season 1 unwilling (really unable to be honest as they had taken quite a beating) to go fight Vorgansharax. As such, they barely escaped with their trusty boatman and now ply the Moonsea. After hearing about rumors (and thanks to the Cults of the Moonsea book they...

We don't mention Lore Wizard because no DM in their right mind would let one get within 1000 miles of their table. It is completely broken right out of the box.

Do players get to hide their rolls from the DM and wait to see if the DM will use some special monster ability? No? Then no, I don't hide my DM rolls either. I tell them a number to hit, they can decide whether they want to react. Anything else just slows down the table.

Windows to the Past I take it? Depends on how attached people are to their characters and what character I'm on. Personally, I say stop being a bunch of pansies and unless hell. Go to town. Why is there no ta Meteor Swarm to bring down the Priests? Or Shapechanging into a Dragon...

So because you played 3 T4 adventures, you think AL is going to close down..... I literally don't even see the logic here. No.

Simulacrum is hiiiighly DM knowledge dependent as well. For example, does the DM know whether the player has given the Simulacrum the appropriate equipment? I once shutdown a Simulacrum because the player forgot to bring an extra Spell Casting Focus. Same goes for armor, weapons, etc.

I feel like people are purposefully overlooking Kobolds. It's not even a competition for powergaming builds. Kobol Hunter Ranger (Horde Breaker)3/War Cleric 2/BM Fighter+ Takes a bit to come online, but Sharpshooter/X-bow Exp = almost always on Advantage destruction. It's the functional...

Fully agreed. Even more upsetting to me was the return of Ixusaxa. This marks the third time one of my characters has killed her. You literally ambush her in Pools of Radiance and the module is unambiguous about killing her. No idea who thought it was a good idea to bring her back.

Agreed on Aasimar, however, the best one for Optimization is.... Kobold. I didn't think so at first, but after taking a Kobold Bard up to level 11 so far, sweet jesus is Pack Tactics and Grovel overpowered. The -2 Strength is largely irrelevant thanks to Finesse weapons and Medium Armor...

Any recommendations on how to keep track? Has anyone ever taken a group from Season 1 expeditions (or any other season) straight into the next season and tried to keep a coherent storyline?

How to be a Tanky Bladesinger in 2 easy steps: 1. Name your character "Bladesinger McTank" 2. Make your character a Abjuration Wizard/1 Cleric

So my players are wrapping up Season 1 and I've got a rather ambitious plan for them. Upon finishing 1-14, I intend to have them decide whether they want to free Phlan or not. If they do, then they can try the fight against the Vorgansharax. If they defeat him, they continue on to the PHLAN...
