    D&D 5E (2014) Need help with the last levels of a paladin

    Personally, I'd take 2 more paladin levels, 1 more warlock level, and 1 fighter level. Paladin 12 grants you absolutely nothing that Fighter 4 doesn't, but Fighter 4 improves your second wind a little bit. When I took the next level in Warlock, I'd lose hex and replace it with another 3rd...

    Both the Northern Maryland/Baltimore LC and the Suburban Maryland/DC LC are already on the mailing list. To the best of my knowledge, the SE RC has not yet appointed a new LC for NoVA.

    That'd be delightful. But no one would DM. Or, if we had DMs, no one would be available to play. I can barely cover regular game days (many of which have been reduced to 2x2 tables instead of 2x3 tables already, and lots of weeks those tables don't even fill up). I have 200 people on my...

    This at least generically answers a lot of questions about the process and workflow I've been trying to get answers to it feels like forever. So there's that. It makes me kinda sad, though, and I'm not super sure why Wizards feels it is necessary to play things so close to the vest, but at...

    Sure, that falls under the 'We can't tell you right now' portion. But why did the Admin team send option A for approval over option B? Are you saying all of that decision making process is covered by an NDA as well? Sure, WotC has to approve any official statements (which is why I stand by...

    D&D 5E (2014) One-Stop Stat Blocks for D&D 5th Edition

    Fry - I'm really glad you put the change Appendix in, as that makes it much more useful for running AL games, where you aren't allowed to play with the monsters that way. Pretty sure the vast majority of your changes were improvements (I'm less sure on up'd damage output, simply because I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bladesinger tank!? Madness, or crazy like a fox?

    Bladesong: "if you use two hands to make an attack with a weapon" GWF: "a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands" TWF: "attack with a light melee weapon that you're holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you're holding in...

    Also, concerning my quote of point 7 - nothing there implies that the Admins aren't listening or don't care, just that it is many times perceived as such, because the form language used makes it come across that way.

    I fundamentally disagree with the idea that a hobby club (which is what AL is, though extremely large) should have reasoning behind decision-making that is not transparent to the membership. There is never a case where 'the public' shouldn't know - except when the core of the reasoning falls...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bladesinger tank!? Madness, or crazy like a fox?

    I suppose, read one way, nothing actually prevents a Bladesinger from dual wielding. I don't think it's worth it, even if you read it that way. But also, I'd argue that if you dual wield, you are using two hands to attack with a weapon, unless you never actually use your off hand attack while...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bladesinger tank!? Madness, or crazy like a fox?

    A bladesinger can neither do Sword and Board nor can they wear plate and activate their bladesong. Sure, it might be worth carrying around a shield for when you can't bladesong if you're proficient (which an EK would be). But it does eat an action to put on.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bladesinger tank!? Madness, or crazy like a fox?

    The static AC is the AC without Bladesong active. Studded Leather (12) + Defense (+1) + DEX Mod (+5) = 18 or Mage Armor (13) + DEX Mod (+5) = 18. Also, a Bladesinger can't dual wield and Bladesong.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bladesinger tank!? Madness, or crazy like a fox?

    I think there a lot of reasons to multi bladesinger with EK fighter, personally. Sure, you lose spell options, but honestly, I don't think you're playing a bladesinger for 9th level spells (though foresight looks really hot on any melee character). You'll want to start with fighter, obviously...

    I don't think the Admins can fix the issues that I perceive. I don't understand how people don't see what I think is perfectly obvious, but I'm willing to admit that their thinking it likely different from my own and leads them to different conclusions that I can't understand any more than than...

    Do you do things to promote a product of a company? Yes. Does that company provide guidance on your behavior? Yes. Does that company have expectations on how you perform your product promotion? Yes. Can that company insist on your removal (and get it) if you don't do things the way they like...

    1. Products are released early at WotC Core+ stores. 2. Core+ stores are stores with higher numbers of in-store participants in various WotC programs. 3. AL is a primarily in store program, designed as marketing (that WotC dumps $1000s into for no trackable return) to sell products. 4. New...

    Given the changing face of gaming, they'd need to include a Tempus (?) centerfold as well. Two centerfolds probably exceeded the art budget.

    D&D 5E (2014) Superiority Dice? How many and often?

    I think trying for the maneuver/superiority dice method is too limiting to the warlord, myself, but that's not the question. That said, A 20th level Battle Master Fighter is supposed to be equal in power to the 20th level Eldritch Knight Fighter. If an EK is 1/3 of wizard, without wizard...
