Rank 4 legal characters exist in Tier 3 (requires 25 renown; 3 secret missions; and level 11 character); I have a character who only needs 2 renown to reach rank 4, and at the end of their current adventure will have 29 renown and 4 secret missions completed. To answer the OP however, mentor...

Past certificates will not be re-issued in any format (people keep asking for it, and the admins have made this clear on numerous occasions). Once they are gone, they are gone. The admins have clarified that Bruenors gift was intended to come at the end of the story, once the party has...

There is a difference between targeting other characters (which can and should happen, depending on the monsters involved) - and deliberately trying to kill a specific PC and picking on that character in situations where it wouldn't make sense and/or being harder on that PC than other PCs at the...

I would strongly suggest giving the players constructive ideas on how they can participate in the battle without making attack rolls. I fully suspect the player has little idea what creative options he could come up with to be pacifistic and an asset to the party. In addition, it sounds like he...

Rather than my wall of text (above), here is a summary of my advice. Encourage the pacifist character/player to participate in combat in non-violent ways: Take up a defensive position in a tactically important location and Dodge; Help the DPR characters by granting them advantage on an...

Agreed. The AL rules clearly indicate that the party applies to everyone at the table.... Otherwise, parties that split and go different directions would not pool treasure, and rogues who decide to pickpocket would be able to keep what they got. All major rewards (XP, Treasure, etc) are split...

I like making white necromancers myself (those who won't raise the dead unless they ask permission of the souls first via speak with the dead, and only with the promise of helping them with a minor task in extreme circumstances). Outside of that, they would study the skills of their enemy so as...

In greek, the correct suffix would be "urgy".... But "mancy" rolls off the tongue so much better than saying Necrourgy, pyrourgy, etc....Thaumaturgy works fine, but most other uses of urgy sound weird.

If you play at the same table as another wizard, you can copy any number of spells from their spellbook at the end of the session. The only limits are your class level (whether you can learn spells of X level or not), your Gold (cost for copying spells and lifestyle expenses), and downtime. You...

I am particularly fond of Mountain Dwarf Wizards (despite the fact that they too only get a +2 Int bonus)

Necromancy has always been weird, as it has been traditionally broken up across both wizard and cleric. In order to be a "True Necromancer" you need to be a hybrid wizard/cleric..... Clerics have always been better undead-related necromancers anyway, while wizard necromancers have traditionally...

It appears I misunderstood the initial question (and thought that the majority of the questions were relating to player choices). In respect to a monster which says race (any humanoid), you can pick any that you have racial abilities for. In respect to most non-PC races however, it is not...

1) The adventurers league player's guide lists the available character options for each of the various story origins. You can only choose options listed for your story origin. For most story origins, this list is limited to the races in the PHB and SCAG, with the exception of winged tieflings...

It is not as important as a lot of people make out - although Spell DCs should be as high as reasonably possible (esp. for a cleric, as it sucks to miss with sacred flame). With that being said, I am not one of those players who believes you should get a +5 modifiers ASAP. There are a lot of...

Gah, I really spaced when answering that question. No idea why I answered as Divination (instead of Enchantment). Probably because he kept mentioning the Beast of Caerbannog "with nasty big pointy teeth".... Then again Tim seemed more like an evoker given how many fire bolts he cast.

Every time you gain a level in wizard, you add two spells (of your choice) to your spellbook at no cost. Spells above and beyond the 2/level must be copied into your spellbook from another PC wizard, captured spellbook, or scroll. Spell schools in 5E work differently than previous. While you...

Yeah, this is the Adventurers League forum. As such, these rules only apply in respect to Adventurers League (the 5E Organized Play program). In a non-AL game, house-rules are only as limited as the DM allows. I don't see many DMs having an issue with you creating a hybrid weapon/implement in...

As we said before - you cannot have a single item that counts as both a weapon AND a musical instrument in AL as no such item exists in a player resource at this time. There are no exceptions to this rule. The closest you can come to is treating your musical instrument as an improvised melee...

You can use any item as an improvised melee weapon (p147 of the PHB IIRC). Most improvised weapons deal 1d4 damage. If however, the item resembles a weapon - you deal that much damage instead (an arcane staff resembles a quarterstaff and so should be used as an improvised quarterstaff in combat...

In respect to 3; that wouldn't be allowed. While you can make cosmetic changes to items without any issues, mechanical changes are strictly prohibited. IOWs, you could either use the item as a cosmetically altered weapon, or a cosmetically altered musical instrument (but not both). In respect to...
