The admins have said that both level ranges are legal. IOWs, as long as your character is between 5th and 9th level, they can play the game (10th level characters need not apply lol).

General rules questions (such as how class features work) have nothing to do with AL as they are the same regardless of game

I am pretty sure that the archery style doesn't help thrown weapons. A thrown weapon remains a melee weapon when thrown - it doesn't become a ranged weapon (despite being able to make ranged weapon attacks). All ranged weapons make ranged weapon attacks. Not all ranged weapon attacks are made...

Fixed. Thanks for noticing the typo (probably an error correct or something).

As I understand it, expect something soon on this front. The admins had a major summit meeting at WotC Head Office this weekend previous, and they went over a lot of issues - including what benefits to award for Factions this season (especially in respect to Rank 4 Faction mentors).

DMs are under no obligation to honor spells cast outside of the current session. IOWs, if you cast animate dead, animal friendship. , or similar spells - the DM is well within their rights to say "sorry, I have no way of verifying this. You will need to start the adventure without the benefit of...

Are people forgetting that there is a Barexit option on the D&DAL website which allows characters to spend DT to leave Ravenloft at any time? While this option did not exist mid-season, it was introduced toward the end of season 4 specifically to allow characters to leave Ravenloft and join a...

There is an alternative which I will be employing at my tables.... It is just a +1 weapon until such times as a PC claims it, at which point the player chooses what weapon it becomes (and I, the DM then write down in my DM Logsheets that a +1 handaxe was rolled, or whatever the weapon is). This...

That is correct. Only creatures from the MM are legal. Creatures outside the MM are not legal without campaign documentation. Also, yes I can confirm the request to have this thread destickied.

Theoretically yes, in practice unlikely since I am fairly certain that the runes lack item rarity (and therefore cannot be traded), while the musket itself is a mundane item and likewise untradable.

Unfortunately no. Firstly, I don't know what metal claws you are talking about. There is an insignia of claws in HotDQ - but that is a magical badge that adds +1 to your unarmed strikes & natural weapon attacks. It isn't a weapon however but a wondrous item. As an RC, and as someone who DM'd...

The yuan-ti aren't native to Barovia. Those specific individuals are native to the Glumpen Swamp, which was pulled into Barovia along with a large chunk of the MoonSea - so you are correct that they had no business being there, but they took advantage of this fact regardless.

You shouldn't be awarding max XP unless the characters actually earned max XP as a result of completing all encounters AND the party having the right number of characters to allow it. I have found myself, that having more than 5 players (and sometimes even having 5 players) will result in the...

A good rule of thumb in this instance, would be to expect the player to bring the relevant information to the session with them. If nobody at the table has a physical copy (or digital copy) of the latest Mystic class, the DM would be well within their rights to ask the player to play a different...

Sorry for any confusion. Mike Mearles created an OFFICIAL AL certificate (Called "Awakened Mind") for his DDAO game which allows the bearer to play a Mystic. The problem was that nobody on the campaign staff knew anything about the certificate until it was mentioned on FB. Here is the photograph...

For clarification: The certs given out by Mike Mearles were given out at Winter Fantasy to those who participated in his DDAO adventure. DDAO adventures have unique rewards determined by the author. It appears however, that in this instance at least - MM did not discuss such a game-changing...

Correct. I made that post prior to the Balloon Pack/Wingwear ammendment (which I believe will be added to the upcoming FAQ overhaul, but I am not 100% certain)

Short answer: unknown. Ravenloft was the first AL setting set outside FR. It is possible that a future setting may be a MTG setting - but this will likely only happen if WotC releases an adventure path and/or campaign setting (for purchase)

Yes and no. Yes, there are other methods by which a clever player might disarm an enemy - however, the above suggestions are splitting hairs a bit. The OP was talking about a character who specializes in disarming enemies via a disarm style maneuver. Casting a spell (such as heat metal) is a...
