Because you can't gain proficiency with such checks (as it is neither a skill nor a tool, but an unmodified ability check).... It is also why the DCs for most spellcasting ability checks are also relatively low (dispel magic/counter spell only have a DC of 10+ spell level). A bard however...

That option is likely to exist as a one-off reward within an adventure, similar to how characters who play "Breath of the Yellow Rose" can purchase additional mundane equipment related to the adventure, or characters who play "Quest of Sporedome" walk away with a small mushroom with magical...

In respect to the last entry (scribe new spells) - you can already reflavor your spells and other features with minor cosmetic changes. I for example have a character with an obsession with green, and casts green fireballs, green hypnotic patterns, and polymorphs creatures into green...

Death House is an excerpt from Curse of Strahd. If I am not mistaken, it is from an appendix.

I would not expect the ALPG 4 to come out before the start of March (but we might be lucky). It should be released prior to March 15th however, as that is when the ALPG 3.0 expires and becomes obsolete.

We should have more answers for this shortly. The Admins had several meetings at Winter Fantasy in order to discuss changes to the upcoming season, and are awaiting the results of those meetings to be announced.

I suspect that if Eberron is ever introduced, Eberron characters would be locked to the Eberron story origin (whatever that is called), and that those racial options and class options (eg. artificer) would be listed as Allowed Rules for that story origin.

The reason the fans aren't complaining about ravenloft is because it has established lore that the mists can enter any world. Toril and Eberron are on separate material planes. Not impossible to reach them (spelljammer and planescape established that fact) but far harder to do than ravenloft.

What Coredump said...... I get the impression that you are under the understanding that players must play the newest content each season? If this is true, it is an incorrect assumption. Each season, the new players guide introduces the current rules for AL, as well as the new story origin. If...

Actually, AL says the following: Emphasis mine. The only rules you must follow in the AL, are those rules from an official rules source. That includes the PHB, PHB errata, DMG (excluding optional/variant rules), DMG errata, MM, MM errata, AL Player's Guide, the AL FAQ, and articles on the...

That is not what I am saying. I am making no promises as to whether players will ever be able to use content from multiple rules sources outside of special certificates (like the Aasimar or Death Cleric), only that it has been offered as a suggestion. Please don't see a suggestion as a promise...

I should also point out that there are already a few combos that border on broken already and it wouldn't take much to tip them over the edge and these combos are from the PHB alone. The most powerful example I know of personally is one I am using myself in order to test its limits in a...

Sigh. As we have said repeatedly - the story origin mechanic predates both Genasi and SCAG. Bringing up a corner case that isn't broken doesn't justify removing the rule because it doesn't address the reasons for the rule: Story origins exist to prevent POTENTIALLY broken combinations that MAY...

I think you missed the point in that were such an option to be provided - the admins and campaign staff would only add one or two options to a specific story origin and that those options WOULD be tested with the other options available to that specific story origin. Instead of wholesale...

The more likely option would be for a few options to be added to a single story origin.l than blanket mixing of rules. This has been suggested before (by myself no less) and would still allow the admins to prevent broken combos while allowing them to mix things up. For example - a...

Robert has moderator privileges Greg (he deleted a spoiler thread in this forum in the weekend leading up to the Season 4 reveal). I considered asking him to delete posts or lock this thread earlier in the week (esp. when they seemed to be escalating rather than de-escalating) but decided...

While the admins have full knowledge of the upcoming seasons DDAL adventures (and are already starting work on season 5s adventures) - the campaign staff (admins included) know nothing about the hardcover adventures until they are released. We learn what the hardcover contains at the same time...

As has been stated by Mike Mearles and Chris Lindsey (during the recent AMA) - Launch events will normally include 12-16 hours of original content that is in addition to a spotlighted product. If that product is an adventure, this will be additional content not found in the adventure itself, but...

The thing is however, that unless an adventure takes place in Calimshan (which at this time is unlikely outside of a DDAO adventure) - it matters little for Adventurers League what people believe. The hardcover adventures have and will continue to take place largely in the Sword Coast, the...

As I understand it, Death House is an appendix in the Curse of Strahd hardcover. I assume it fills the same place in the campaign as the Chapter 6 side quests did in Princes of the Apocalypse
