    What is the ceiling on playing a habitual liar in Adventure League?

    I should also add that ALL FIVE factions have called a truce, and are working together for a common purpose. Yes, they will not pass up any opportunity to gain additional power for their respective factions - but only if doing so does not come at the expense of the shared mission. Also, I...

    Need for AL-specific rulings of CoS

    If you exhaust the item, Fai Chen would have no interest in it. He would say to come back in 100 years once it recharges. Fai Chen does not like to be cheated by people who think they can swindle him by using an item and then offloading exhausted items to him in exchange for perfectly good...

    New DM Quest Rewards available on DM's Guild

    There is a simple fix in respect to simulacrum. A DM does not have to honor simulacrum created at another DMs table (or any other pre-cast spells such as animate dead). With a 12hr casting time, and a hefty price tag - having players recast the spell each time they want to use it can become...

    Animal handling to tame

    The adventure would tell you what happens if you get a hook horror. I will not say what those details are here. You will need to play the adventure and find out :D

    Adventurers League Resources

    With the new website, some of the official links will need to be updated as they are currently broken. In light of this fact, I will be updating the links in the main page next week and will also include links to several important files hosted on the Dungeon Master's Guild Update: My DM...

    Need for AL-specific rulings of CoS

    Its not that AL doesn't allow roleplaying XP - its that AL does not allow the DM to make these judiciary calls. If an adventure says "if the party does X, they each earn 100 XP" then at the end of the session, combat XP is totalled and divided by the number of PCs, after which each PC gains a...

    Animal handling to tame

    Unfortunately there are no provisions for this in AL. Unless a creature is specifically mentioned in an adventure as a possible companion (there are several in Out of the Abyss for example, such as baby hook horrors, basilisk eggs, or dragon eggs) - you simply cannot gain a companion in this...

    Death House Launch Event Bonus

    Alaska isn't part of Canada lol. The RC for Alaska is the RC for Far West - Jay Africa. There are no LCs for Alaska at this time unfortunately, so I would recommend contacting Jay directly @ usfarwest@dndadventurersleague.org

    New DM Quest Rewards available on DM's Guild

    No. It means you (the DM) gain +1 renown for each of your own characters. If you have 3 characters for example, each of those three characters would earn +1 renown. If you had 5 characters, all 5 of them would earn +1 renown. For Example: I have the following characters - Taevyn Blackwyrm...

    Question on the Vamp/Lycanthropy Ruling

    There is no reward planned that would allow someone to play an afflicted character. The reference to DM rewards is the fact that DM rewards usually also provide GP. If a player is unable to afford the cost of raise dead for example, they would need to apply DM rewards to the character until they...

    Question on the Vamp/Lycanthropy Ruling

    The point is - vampires are undead. You can't cure this condition without a wish spell (which completely reverses the situation that caused you to become undead in the first place), or being destroyed so that your body can be revived normally. There is nothing wrong with this ruling as the...

    New DM Quest Rewards available on DM's Guild

    Some official Clarifications: Rewards are Retroactive to March 4th: If you would have completed one (or more) rewards since Friday March 4th, those rewards count even though the DM Quests were not available until today. Sessions prior to March 4th do not count for the purpose of meeting these...

    What sort of character will you build for Curse of Strahd?

    He is right. Spell sniper lets you double the range of a spell attack, so it increases the range of BB/GFB to 10' (providing you have a reach weapon). Using a whip, you cannot use these spells at 15' range even with Spell Sniper, nor can you make attacks with these spells at greater than 5'...

    Season 4 Pregens?

    There are plans to release pregens for season 4. They were slightly delayed with the website migration and the DMs Guild. I do not have an ETA for them, however they should be available "Soon"(TM)

    Need for AL-specific rulings of CoS

    Milestones are only available for Death House ​(even then it is discouraged). Once players transition to Curse of Strahd (proper), the DM must assign combat XP as normal. The only non-combat XP that the players can earn is any that is specifically listed for completing an objective(s). Assuming...

    Vistani PCs

    I wasn't sure I was allowed to post the excerpt of Sybil's background - but I can confirm that is exactly what I was referring to.

    Need for AL-specific rulings of CoS

    Q1: The rule would be the same as for previous adventures. DMs are allowed to roll (on the appropriate tables) for mundane treasure, gold, and consumables (potions/scrolls/etc). Random permanent items are not allowed (please see the FAQ for Rise of Tiamat). As with Out of the Abyss - it is...

    Vistani PCs

    There is that as well. With that being said Madam Eva is a special case, and of all the Vistani - would be the most welcoming of the Gur PCs (for reasons unknown that she will not reveal)... The rest of her tribe though may see the PC as an outsider who does not know the tribes customs and is...

    Vistani PCs

    Actually, the Gur and Vistani are essentially the same race (as are the traveller peoples of Greyhawk, and all other settings). The link between these two races is confirmed in respect to Sybil who is herself Gur, but who is treated as Vistani by the Vistani themselves in Ravenloft. Sybil's...

    Death House Launch Event Bonus

    Two mundane items (a ring and an orb) worth 25g each are instead magical items. I won't give the specifics.
