Kalani, your attention to completeness is what completes the AL forum experience. You find legitimate questions in our asinine commentary and provide expertly crafted responses to questions that we didn't know we asked. XP very well deserved for that one.

Watch out! Tyranthraxus may become tyrannical with power! Who's the Internal Affairs Department that polices LCs & RCs who go rogue? :P

Well if they keep giving out Expeditions each month, maybe HQ will get the greenlight to increase the number of adventures per season to keep up with the growing AL tiers*. While this was the next sequential release of the season, it's also the first T2 adventure for home groups who started with...

I think that character portability needs to remain a pillar of the AL ruleset, regardless of the setting. Remember that at the very core of the AL, it's still based on a set of houserules. We're simply playing by WotC houserules. Our ruleset simply needs to work for our style of play. I think...

Not every DM allows UA materials due to the devs stating that playtest options are designed to be initially OP and then pared back for balance. Highlighting an alternate means is just as useful, especially for AL players.

I'm just glad that Wand of the War Mage & Rod of the Pact Keeper exist to provide bonuses to spell attack rolls. Bounded Accuracy be damned! :P I had an interesting encounter with a water weird vs PC w/ Ring of Water Walking. The weird was unable to drag the PC under the surface of the water as...

According to the Don/Doff table, it takes an action to remove your shield.

I don't find Action Surge to really be worth the spell progression delay. I prefer to stick with just a single level when dipping for armor and weapons.

A 3rd level Sun Soul Monk plays like a close-range switch hitter. Toss a flurry of hadoukens at opponent on turn 1 for up to 3d4+9 (12-21, avg 16.5). Close the gap on turn 2 and go for the kill.

All of the bonuses come from different sources, therefore they should stack. The only bonuses that are called as not stackable are in the sections about proficiency bonus multiplication/division and multiple instances of the same spell. A non-UA way of achieving +Cha*3 damage uses Shillelagh...

For me, it's the crunch. Sun Soul got me excited to play a monk. Arcana Domain turned out to be quite usable in melee, thanks to GFB/BB. Swashbuckler is my new favorite Rogue subclass, capitalizing on Magic Initiate to get the Sorcerer/Warlock versions of GFB. I also like how easy it is to...

Stick to the outer edges of melee lines like a Rogue, make the most of your bonus action attacks, and always have a healing potion or two on hand. Don't forget that Monks don't have to spend their money on armor, so you'll be able to afford dozens of potions while the Fighter is saving up for...

My favorite character has been the one that bears my name, mostly because of the rebuild rules allowing me to switch my human feat. Variant Human Fighter 1/Fiend Tomelock 3/Fire Draconic Sorcerer X Str 8 Dex 14 Con 16 Int 8 Wis 10 Cha 16 Feat: Magic Initiate (Eldritch Blast/GFB/Hex) @ 1st level...

BTW, the Society of Brilliance can be used to teleport the party closer to their destination. After my table encountered Blurg and befriended the SoB, they were able to convince Sloopidoop (met after the fall of Sloobludop) to teleport them to Y, who would be the member closest to Gracklestugh...

No, I meant to maintain Hex during its duration.

The devs have tweeted before that no bag of rats is necessary.

Heavy Armor Master comes with +1 Str, so the build does hit Str 20.

Yes

Shields are listed in the Armor table, therefore shields are armor. If you're not proficient, you can't cast in it.

Another possible school of thought is that you don't need the focus on Stealth as a Swashbuckler, since you can leverage combat position to get Sneak Attack. Perhaps pick a different skill for Expertise?
