Idea: a young raven or wolf cub, suitable for serving as a Ranger's companion or other sort of pet? I don't recall any of the adventures I've done providing potentially adoptable or tameable animals. I have a forest gnome barbarian that would probably pass on a magic weapon if he could ride a...

About the cold thing: there were exactly two times in the adventures I've played where exhaustion from cold exposure was an issue, and both times the DM (different DMs) offered a chance shortly before for party members to buy winter clothes that would keep the PC warm enough that exhaustion...

I think when they considered the Inheritor background in the SCAG they drew the line at a minor quirk, from a DMG table. So my immunity idea may have gone too far, but there seems to be a drawable line for "kinda sorta magical but not in any really meaningful way" aside from the sheer flavor of...

Money is always great, but some things money can't buy (usually magic) and some things are specifically required for magic to happen. more scrolls? Potions of healing? Treasure that is specified in the spell descriptions as a component consumed in a spell? (I've usually seen such things just...

one of the many lists in this thread summarizes that: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?471765-A-Compilation-of-Useful-Spell-Lists-%28Leugren%29&p=6746658&viewfull=1#post6746658 if only it listed the actual prices, as-is it goes on the list whether it costs 10 gp or 1000 gp.

To circle back to the original topic, I've been giving a little more thought to this character build. I've chosen the Entertainer background, so the background feature is Popular Demand. I know it's not going to fly at a DDAL table, but for my own amusement I wrote up a variant background...

Worse things could happen than to multiclass wizard/necromancer and life cleric. the mad scientist inspiration fit better with Wizard in my head, but if that's what it takes to do it in a way that makes sense to me I can wrap my head around it. It hits a lot of the right notes regarding healing...

How is it possible that a school of necromancy wizard can't do the third level spell Speak with dead (which would strictly speaking a form of divination, but whatever)? I am just dumbfounded. A necromancer can't actually do necromancy? The very word means death divination, otherwise known as...

I'd definitely missed the part about choosing 2 per level. No matter what school you choose, you can do a lot with that to build a spell selection that suits your concept. Interesting to know there were so many more spellbooks than I remembered, which was pretty much 1 or 2 per season. If...

I've tended to play gish casters for whom the wizard spellbook rules are irrelevant, but I'm now considering one, and see a potential problem. I'll concede I may not be understanding the rules correctly. If the only way to grow a wizard's spell list is to copy spells from found spellbooks and...

The problem is not with 5th edition rules, it's that AL is organized play and has rules of its own. The ability to house rule anything, whether or not it makes sense, is limited in exchange for being able to drift from one FLGS or convention to another. Find a home game and house rule things to...

There is such a thing as room for comic relief, or other brief flashes of light to provide contrast to the darkness. Keeping an uninterrupted gloom and doom atmosphere makes for a really stale experience. I'd be very open to an agreement with the DM that if my character got too "laughing gas"...

Not speaking for anyone else here, but: As I look the the sample list of musical instruments, I don't think I see any that can be both played and held in a single hand. For the sake of keeping that motion economy, I'd rather my reflavored focus be a marionette, which like the more common lute of...

Sarcasm, aimed at Saelorn. Kalani, your suggestions have been quite constructive and well grounded in the RAW. I agree the way it gets played needs to work for everyone at the table. That's a very reasonable point to make. Rather than make a reasonable point reasonably, Saelorn seemed to just...

not directed at you. Kalani pointed out the mechanical compromise that might be needed in the first few posts. The only problem seems to be one of tone. The puppet needs to be creepier than he is funny, he needs to work in the milieu (unless the whole table is down with a little laughing gas)...

Duplicate posting, deleted

It's simultaneously absurd and creepy, played right. So is turning D&D into a horror game at all, as we're doing this season. I imagine you're unhappy about that too. Since I only play AL in 2 FLGS a thousand miles away from you, I really appreciate your dedication to the tone of tables you...

I'm still waiting to hear an actual reason. One was alluded to. I could see push-back for motion economy requiring four arms. One object requiring one hand to hold and possibly two to operate is possibly reimagined as another requiring one hand to hold and possibly two to operate. Not really a...
