Speaking of tone - I am not sure what you meant by the bolded part of this post (that you indicated was directed toward me). Was this meant as praise, sarcasm, or condescension (it could be read in any of these ways). In any case, its not that I don't think people can speak for themselves - as...

Bards are not required to use a musical instrument - they are also able to use spell component pouches (as all spellcasters can use a component pouch for their material components). Personally, I think it would be decidedly creepy if you had your ventriloquist dummy have a harmonica or something...

There is no FAQ for this adventure with corrected rewards (despite there being corrected rewards for 2-7 Bounty in the Bog). As such, please use the printed rewards. Some of the earlier 8-hr mods only awarded 10 downtime for running these adventures. The decision to award 20 DT instead came...

I am not sure what you mean by a non-sanctioned AL game. You mean one that isn't sponsored by a store and/or reported in WER? DMs can earn the DM rewards for most quests anywhere. All that is required is that the game is run strictly as an AL-game (using AL-characters). DMs running private...

True - while WotC may not fall into the same mistake with 5E, the possibility for AL to fall into that mistake with the OP is still valid (esp if we did start releasing firm rules for general rules issues). That and the fact that it would cause confusion for players who play both 5E and AL if...

I for one do not want a return of the Endless-Errata / Rules that plagued LFR. I prefer AL to be as rules-light as humanly possible, in order for DMs and players to tell a story without worrying about tripping over Errata v1.9 section A.

Here is the issue in a nutshell. We can either: Give DMs leniency to make appropriate rulings, and trust that any rulings they make are for the good of the game, their players, and game balance... Hamstring DMs by providing a list of hard rules that must be followed, regardless of the cost. If...

Alright, I am going to ask that one of the AL admins who moderates this forum to close this thread. It has served all useful purpose and I am now starting to get offended by comments which strike a personal nerve.... As a MTF transgender woman, I am a minority myself - and comments such as "why...

I have to ask - if you don't play AL, what is your reasoning for participating in an AL-specific thread in an AL-specific forum? Saying "I don't care about AL" doesn't add anything to the conversation since each and every thread in this forum is devoted exclusively for AL-discussion, and as...

The DDAL4-X modules are based on the "optimized level" of the adventure. 4-1 is a special case (as it includes 5 mini-adventures). The adventure awards 100 XP / 50 GP and 5 DT per part. As I said above, just use the DM rewards listed in the adventures. The 4-hr column really isn't used by DMs...

Please see my "List of Approved creatures for summoning" thread which is stickied at the top of this forum. Short answer: T-Rex is not allowed as it is not in the Allowed Rules (PHB appendix D and MM appendix A)

I can state for the record that the AL has no intention of making campaign-wide rulings for general rules questions. The AL rule on the matter is - The DM has full authority to make a ruling at their table for any ambiguous rule or situation the rules do not cover. The DM cannot however make...

I just made a major update to the FAQ adding numerous clarifications relating to DM Rewards and the DM Quest Rewards. http://dndadventurersleague.org/sage/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions_(FAQ) In particular, the following was just added relating directly to the DM Rewards themselves.

AL uses the 4E lore as official canon. As such, the Gur and Vistani are a singular extra-planar culture (most likely seeded by their spelljamming ancestors). Despite millennia of separation between them, both cultures have kept to their historical roots, and haven't deviated significantly...

Yes I plan on adding these to my list, although I have been playing catchup for the last few weeks on account of also organizing a convention. Once my convention is finished (April 2nd) I should have more time to devote to other projects (such as this thread, and numerous other projects I have -...

I believe the Gur would speak the southern language used by the Rashemi (forget what its called). Common is common across the planes however.

You can play a Gur with / without the "Magic Initiate" feat. Gur are found within FR, and so are a valid option for human ethnicity.

Update: Some additional clarification was given regarding "Quest of the Week" today. I have added this information to the OP.

Without going into too much detail - Gypsy carries similar connotations to Eskimo (in respect to Inuit) or Indian (in respect to the various Native American tribes). Neither are appropriate terms for their respective peoples.

I think you got your pages mixed up. Crypt 30 on p91 lists a holy symbol. It is crypt 29 that has the sword. I will mention it to the admins Response: Alan Patrick Unless a significant reason is presented, I don't think it's really worth nailing down a 'type' - I'm much more in favor of the...
