I think that it could work if they can flesh out enough lead-in material to start the adventure at 1st level. Of course, they'd have to find some way to shoehorn it into the Forgotten Realms, as long as the "All Roads Lead to Faerun" mandate persists. I highly doubt it for two reasons. 1. If...

Actually, another homage product seems likely, especially if it's got the same reduced level range of CoS. All other seasons ran from 1-15, while CoS will go from 1-10. The only way that I can see them going back to 1-15 adventures is if CoS was done in an attempt to shift the release schedule...

I can't wait for the further announcements. I'm glad that stores are still going to get some exclusive incentives. If they are what I think they are (sorry Greg, but the DH Instructions rekindled my speculative senses), then my players will be very happy with the outcome.

You could bump Con to a 13 before the feat to bump Wis up to 12.

Aarakocra are banned in AL play.

I'll admit that the domain spells are rather generic, however the tradeoff is the other abilities gained. Free Arcana proficiency Two free Wizard cantrips that make Potent Cantrip ACTUALLY useful beyond Sacred Flame Being able to "turn" more creature types than just undead

I still foresee some people using the catching up rule to make the jump from 4-5 to 4-7, in situations where they missed 4-6 and wished to stay in Barovia anyways.

Additional evidence that suggests an upcoming June release is the document seen on the CoS peeks thread. It seems to be deliberately positioned such that we can only see "June 2016" and "Secret D&D" on it.

Well the instructions that came with the Death House Launch Event stated that this season ends on 6/19/16, which is the Sunday of Origins Game Fair and when the Season 5 AL preview event is being held.

Also a valid point, but most games won't get high enough for the late level blasting to come into play. It's a better representation of actual play to base most comparisons at no higher than 10th-12th level.

I see your point, and agree with it. It would definitely make the campaign feel more alive. However, I feel like the fact the DDAL 4-X modules will use a modified xp progression is a sign that 4-7 through 4-14 are meant to be played by those who wish to remain in Barovia to see it through to...

Depends on your playstyle. The Light domain is the better blaster, but the Arcana domain is better at control and can snag melee and ranged cantrips.

Unarmed strikes are still melee weapon attacks, just not weapons themselves.

I smell a barfight in the near future...

I'm more curious about that piece of paper that says "Secret D&D" on it. :P But in all seriousness, I can't wait to pick up my copy. And not just because it's being comped in exchange for bearing the costs of DDAL modules for my FLGS.

Unless the players are looking stuff up or have to take an important call/text, I typically frown upon people being on their phones while playing. As I primarily run AL games at my FLGS in a limited timeslot, I make sure that the players understand that their time at the table is to be spent...

After a long rest or the end of an adventure/episode/chapter, provided that you have enough XP.

I got a different inference from Scorpienne's post, that the exits are tied to specific modules that wrap up the story arcs within the DDAL 4-X series.

People here seem to forget that the only difference between a cult and a religion is legitimacy granted by public approval. All religions are functionally identical to cults. To me, it seems that the authors are just using the appropriate terminology to show that these groups are not publicly...

Sometimes a character concept just calls for some Cleric levels. When putting together my FF Red Mage homage, I knew that Cleric had to be part of the mix to represent the healing and support capabilities of a RM. Originally, it was just going to be a Cleric/Wizard multiclass, but everything...
