    Continual Flame Legality Question

    Alternatively, you could have the player provide the material component for their continual flame. The character would need to purchase the component prior to the start of the adventure under most circumstances (with the exception of if the adventure takes the party to a market). This avoids the...

    Does adventurer's league allow you to play as a Vampire?

    Also, there is this ruling from the FAQ regarding the legality of vampires/lycans specifically from the FAQ: http://dndadventurersleague.org/sage/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions_(FAQ) While it does not say so in the FAQ, other methods of resurrecting the PC are also legal (revify​...

    Continual Flame Legality Question

    Only requires a higher level spell slot. A L3 continual flame is immune to the effect of darkness (but not dispel magic).

    Continual Flame Legality Question

    Technically it isn't a magic item, just an extended spell effect. If cast at 2nd level, the continual flames will be dispelled if they come within the radius of a darkness spell. Likewise, the effects can also be dispelled by dispel magic. Magic items are not affected by these spells. When...

    Agreed. She would have the mask on her in Chapter 2 (reflected in her stats). Then again, the party should not be killing her or obtaining the mask in that area (although I have heard of a few tables which the DM has allowed this). Doing so should be a suicide-attack, as even if you manage to...

    Cutting Words Canceling Nat 20

    DMs in AL are encouraged to use Sage Advice (in particular Jeremy's rulings, as Mike's rulings are from the perspective of the DM and sometimes cross the line into house rules), but are not required to. If you disagree with a SA ruling - ignore it. As far as this ruling is concerned however, I...

    Hazirawn was on Rezmir's person. Unlike the mask, it does not disappear on her death and instead falls at her feet as she disintergrates.

    The Black Dragon Mask is intended to be lootable (I never said otherwise). I simply said that Resmir herself isn't in possession of it (and so you can't loot it from her disintegrated body). You can however, loot the sword from her corpse. If a DM incorrectly reads an encounter, that is a...

    OotA Magic Items AL Legality *spoilers*

    As far as the certificates go however, it is my understanding that WotC merely asks the authors to provide them a list of magic items contained within the adventure, after which they print certs for the list of magic items provided. It is my personal belief (and this is pure conjecture), that...

    The Black Dragon Mask is inside a chest in Resmir's private chamber. As stated in the adventure text, Resmir is deliberately goading the players into killing her in Ch8 as she wants the contents of her chest to teleport to the Well of dragons and out of the parties reach. The only way to obtain...

    The wand of orcus is specifically off the table, as per comments made by the admins. Not only is it not listed as treasure, but there is no cert for it in order to justify its possible inclusion as such. In respect to the comment about the black dragon mask, that is definitely lootable -...

    The early modules (Tyranny of Dragons hardcovers and LMoP) are kind of an exception to the rule however, as they were written prior to the release of the MM or DMG (and were probably 90% finished during the 5E playtest). Later modules have been better about including lootable treasure in the...

    OotA Magic Items AL Legality *spoilers*

    As that is one adventure I have yet to purchase, I cannot be of much more help unfortunately. If you want a quick answer, might I suggest asking this in the official DndAL group. Otherwise, you could always wait until Greg or Robert notices your post here. One thing I have noticed however, is...

    Please read the following to see if those items have been accounted for... The cloak for example (which has a cert but is not found in the adventure), is a possible reward given to the party by King Bruenor at the end of the adventure. http://dndadventurersleague.org/amendments-to-out-of-the-abyss/

    ^This was what I was trying to articulate. Using a font by itself is fine, but if you release something "designed to look like an official D&D Product" (IOWs, by copying their trade dress), you can run into legal problems (even if released for free). Copying 5Es monster stat blocks (as...

    Find Steed

    All non-steeder, non-horse mounts require DM permission each and every time you cast it. As such, this is a self-limiting issue, as any DM who runs into balance issues due to allowing nonstandard summons can simply withdraw their permission in the future. So yes, while you might find a DM...

    Find Steed

    That may be the designers intent, however DMs in AL are free to use/ignore Sage Advice at their discretion. In this situation, the rules as written are ambiguous enough for DMs to determine that the mount is an intelligent summoned creature (which would have its own initiative and actions); a...

    Find Steed

    The rule I am referencing is an AL-Rule, specifically the following from the AL-FAQ As I said above, this gives players the choice of a Beast from the Monster Manual (Appendix A), or a mount-like creature from the Player's Handbook (Appendix D). As there is at least one creature you can...

    Find Steed

    All of the above options would require DM permission. Steeder mounts and riding/war horses do not require such permission. Caveat: Phase Spiders and Winter Wolves are monstrocities, not beasts. You could not choose these options as they are not a legal player option.

    IDK. It has little to do with AL at all.
