Basically, yes.

As far as AL is concerned, there is no rule for "Disarming" outside the the Battlemaster maneuver. As this is effectively "a situation not covered by the rules" expect table variation. Some DMs will flat-out say you cannot disarm creatures unless you are a battlemaster with the disarm maneuver...

You cannot use optional rules from the DMG with the exception of playing on the grid, and madness (in those adventures that specifically employ madness only). As per the ALPG and ALDMG, the rest of the DMG is basically not used (with the exception of magic items, and attunement rules)

Small clarification: Raise Dead cannot return an undead creature to life, as in - it cannot bring back a slain vampire as a vampire.... Nor can it bring back a currently animated undead creature to life (i.e transform a ghoul back into a human for example). Once an undead creature is destroyed...

Most things that reduce HP maximums do so until the end of a long rest or the character dies (at which point something else usually happens such as the character becoming an undead spawn). You are correct that there are no rules stating what happens to a dead characters HP max. As such this is...

Correct, you can only copy spells between two characters who participated in the same adventure and you only have until the start of your next session to copy said spells using downtime (assuming of course that you just completed an episode/chapter/adventure, as you cannot normally spend...

Technically you are correct (since you need to record the transaction in your characters log entry for the session) - however, the campaign staff realizes that sometimes time constraints do not permit the players the time to engage in this activity at the end of the session. As such, providing...

Correct - only characters who play at the same table can copy spells from each other. Downtime copying of spells happens after the adventure / session is completed but prior to your next game session (or adventure). IOWs, you record the transaction in your notes section for the game session...

Hah! I knew I saw something somewhere about being able to push/pull/drag 5x your normal weight.

That is possible. I looked up the rule, and I stand corrected. You can only carry up to your maximum limit. Above that, you can only push/pull/drag up to twice your limits at a speed of 5ft. Thanks for pointing that out. The weird thing is, I only looked up that rule the other day for a home...

I will need to check my books when I get home but I am fairly certain my PHB said you could drag /pull / push 5x limits (but only lift twice that). I may have been misreading it however (it does happen on occasion)

They are still limited to a maximum of 5x their carrying capacity (even when lifting/dragging). The horse mentioned above for example, can lift/push/pull up to 540lbs at its full speed, can physically lift 1080lbs on its back, and can push/pull/drag up to 2700lbs (at a speed of 5 ft). I don't...

Draft Horses can carry 540lbs without becoming encumbered. A wagon weighs 400lbs, and as such a horse-drawn wagon could only include another 140lbs of gear (including weight of the driver). It would require at least 2 horses to properly pull a wagon (as they have a combined encumbrance of...

When I take valuable treasure (art, gems, etc), I usually record it on my logsheet as follows: GP + X (where X equals my character's normal share of the treasure); GP - Y (where Y = the value of the art object, or objects). Then in my notes section I record something like the following...

As stated in the ALPG and ALDMG - any character who plays Death House, Curse of Strahd or a DDAL4-X adventure (with the exception of parts 1-4 of DDAL4-1) is trapped in Ravenloft.

I have since brought this issue up to the AL admins and regional coordinators, but I still encourage you to email Robert Adducci directly with your concerns.

This is understandable, and thank you for clarifying your misunderstanding. Your earlier posts came across as an attempt to force a DM to abide by an alternative rule more than a misunderstanding. It happens to the best of us. I sincerely hope that despite the harassment you suffered (as...
