I would wait until the new ALPG is released as this is a season 4 BG and there is no season 4 story origin yet. Season 1-3 characters cannot use CoS material as CoS is not listed as part of the allowed rules for these story origins.

I may have been misremembering how undead work in this edition (as I was answering away from my books). I do recall simulacrum not being able to heal as well as undead in previous editions also being unable to regain HPs naturally.

Take for example Leomund's secret chest. While my DM can verify that I paid the 5050gp for the spell components, there is no way of verifying how many days have transpired since I last cast the spell. As such, I always make a habit of saying "on the first day of travel, I prepare and recast...

The ALPG for CoS should be out some time during the next week (assuming there are no delays). The CoS season doesn't start officially until March 1st (DDAL 4-1) and March 4th (CoS). Even then, the Season 3 ALPG does not expire until March 15th (or when the Season 4 ALPG is released, whichever...

The DM doesn't have any power to prohibit legal character choices. Lawful Evil is a perfectly legal alignment in AL (for two of the factions). Lawful Good Necromancers are also perfectly legal (however the character should RP as such). Should they keep casting a lot of animate dead however...

Oh I think a necromancer in Season 4 is an excellent idea.... Seriously! It would be full of flavor and would really be in keeping with the fact that characters in Ravenloft tend to have tragic elements to them. A necromancer with a pure heart is just the sort of tragedy and emotional angst that...

Yes. You can play a non-evil necromancer. With that being said, some necromantic spells are inherently evil (such as animate dead). Other spells are neither good/evil, and should be perfectly fine. Even in the case of the evil spells, you can sometimes justify it. For example - a Good...

The half plate is given to the party by the myconid sovereign agaricus if they return with the Sacred Seer and complete the quest properly

That is correct, you can create your own (custom) traits/ideals/bonds/flaws, and/or choose them from any source (including 3rd party sources). These are just roleplaying hooks after all, and don't carry any mechanical weight (outside of inspiration). With that being said: When creating/choosing...

Normally, players can only customize backgrounds via DM fiat. In AL however, all languages and customization options for backgrounds are open to everyone (with the exception of creating new background features). The haunted background wasn't made with AL in mind however, so I expect that the...

Used spellbooks? As in a spellbook you want to sell? Hmm.... It is technically mundane equipment so - 25gp (half value) seems fair, although there wouldn't be any refund on the cost of any spell(s) scribed into the book. As with other mundane equipment, you can loan it to other PCs, but you...

Anyone can take a spellbook - however in my personal opinion wizards (and those with ritual books/books of shadows) should gain first dibs. I believe that is the intent, however there are no rules preventing a fighter from saying "I want the spellbook". Since they don't count as magic items...

Nope. Anyone who can use a spellbook can loot one.

There is no official MAX XP for the hardcover adventures (inc. Lost Mines). Characters should earn XP based on what they accomplish each session. With that being said, unless your DM is adding monsters to encounters - the max XP should be whatever the sum total of all encounters is worth + any...

Gah....... I hate it when this happens lol. The other day on FB, the issue of Wingwear/Balloon Packs was brought up, and several RCs and at least one Admin (Travis? if I am not mistaken) confirmed that wingwear could be removed from your MI totals upon use as an exception to the normal rule...

I can confirm this rumor as fact. There are some magical enhancements for those who play Death House in-store, but I cannot speak about the specifics as it has not been announced.

Thanks a lot for this - I was going into lockdown mode for my computer until I had found the exact compromise (starting with scanning my webbrowsers and computer for infection). I am so glad this is a false positive

I am experiencing a security threat on this site (even when attempting to post new threads). This threat only pops up when I open up a New post or Edit Post options (it does not happen when I use the quick response option). Here is a screen capture of the first time I experienced this error. Is...

I believe he is alluding to the rule that you cannot normally loot items from a creature unless it is listed as treasure. This holds true for spellbooks as well - with most creatures lacking a spellbook as treasure. Only those ~half dozen spellbooks specifically listed as treasure can be looted...
