Ok guys, enough is enough. Let's keep the thread civil and on topic please. I thought you guys had gotten the minor argument out of your systems a few pages back lol.

As far as deep gnomes (and only deep gnomes) are concerned - you are in luck. The Deep Gnome exists in both the EEPG and the SCAG. Your EE Deep Gnome can either use the EEPG to gain the EE spells + Deep Gnome options, or they can use the SCAG and gain the Deep Gnome, class options and cantrips...

It was WotCs decision. In fact, to my knowledge every rule and FAQ ruling in AL ultimately require approval from WotC. While the admins have considerable pull, and can make recommendations, ultimately - the decision falls to WotC as to what the rules of AL will be. The campaign staff do...

Ultimately, the best way to have your voice heard in the Adventurers League is to join our social media groups (FB, Twitter, Google+, etc), join the official AL playtest group and give feedback on upcoming adventures, communicate with your local coordinator (or regional coordinator if lacking an...

Taking off my official cap for a moment and speaking from a purely personal PoV Am I happy with every rule or ruling in the AL campaign? Hardly. I do understand the need for such rulings however, and understand and support the rationale behind those decisions (even though I myself disagree with...

It may be 2-3 years before this particular issue is revisited, as it is way too early to tell whether this pre-emptive solution was warranted, as we only have the SCAG and a few spells and races from the EEPG to work with at this time. We will need to see how things look once we have a good 6-10...

The reason for the rule has NOTHING to do with existing content. The rule was created and implemented for the SEASON 1 player's guide - before we had anything other than the PHB! The rule itself is future proof in that, should a broken combination come out when you mix content from X years...

Speaking of Chris Tulach, up until recently - he was actually the head-honcho ultimately responsible for AL, and the person to which the 6 AL admins directly reported. He has recently moved onto different projects (IIRC, he has joined the darkside of MTG lol) and has since been replaced by Chris...

Bracers (also called a lower canon or vambrace) are traditionally a piece of armor however. Leather bracers are typically made of stiffened and boiled leather tied with leather cords or buckles, while metal bracers are made of shaped steel that are either riveted, attached to a chainmail...

AFAIK, while armor and weapons may resize in 5E (I am away from my books atm, and cannot confirm), there is no indication that the basic body shape of the armor will change. If it did, a suit of magical plate made for a humanoid could work as magical barding for an animal. Barding and armor are...

To add to what Skerrit (Greg Marks) said: Any convention which can host a minimum of 10-15 AL tables (70-105 characters + DMs) can apply for an epic at their event.

This was a personal response (sorry I was tired when I was posting originally, and didn't realize it might sound official when it was just an opinion. I have since edited the original response).. Firstly, the League will only make rules (and rulings) on issues that are league-specific. The...

This response is strictly a personal response as this is a situation the rules don't cover (and subject to DM interpretation). Expect Table Variation (TM) I have a druid with an insignia of claws (I wear it on a loose cord around my neck). Cloaks are also a possibility, as are rings. Goggles...

That is correct. The only adventures that are AL-legal are the hardcover adventures (hoard of the dragon queen, rise of tiamat, princes of the apocalypse, out of the abyss and curse of strahd (coming soon)), lost mines of phandelver (starter set adventure), the DDAL adventures (formerly called...

I would have ruled that differently. I would have allowed it to count as a Shove action (i believe they were in 4E) with a bonus to hit (say +4). If successful, the warforged would be knocked prone/pushed 5 feet. It would also cause bruising and a few bumps and scratches to both parties, but no...

Correction: The terminology has already changed but it may take a while before people stop using the old terms. The Adventures formerly called "Expeditions" are now referred to as Adventurers League adventures/modueles, or DDAL adventures. The hardcovers have and will continue to be referred to...

Nice. I was not aware of that detail, but then again - I didn't follow the Kargatane (I just read the novels, and owned both the 2E box sets, 2E rulebooks, Masque of the Red Death Box set, Necropolis spinoff, and also the 3.5 rulebooks from S&S, a subsidiary of WW).

To put things into perspective, here are a handful of the more well known darklords. Adam (Lamordia): He is known as Mordenheims Monster, and is an extremely sentient and cunning Flesh Golem, based strongly off Frankensteins monster. Dr. Mordenheim himself shares Adam's immortality, and the two...

It depends on which domain you are in... Most of them are gothic in nature, but a few of them border on lovecraftian (the shadow rift comes to mind) :D Also, while most of the Darklords are supernatural in nature, they are outwardly human. While rumors about their nature may abound, most...

Yeah, Ravenloft requires a great deal of maturity even if playing the good guys - just to create the right atmosphere of gothic lovecraftian horror. Go overboard, and it just becomes modern gore/suspense; too little maturity, and you end up with murder with little motive (the Dark Powers want to...
