    April Rules FAQ: Great Weapon Fighting, Pact of the Blade, Green-Flame Blade, Booming Blade, Moonbea

    That is wrong. There is not "limit" as to how many times a target can be hit by an AoE spell worded like Moonbeam/Spirit Guardians. You HAVE to figure out the difference between once per round and once per turn. But none of this really matters short of a party basically optimizing for...

    Paladins in AL: Unusual Gods (SPOILERS BELOW FOR SEASON 4)

    You could use the AL spell casting services provided by Jenny Greenteeth (who I think is the only place to get them) to have her cast some beneficial spell over the party/village.

    April Rules FAQ: Great Weapon Fighting, Pact of the Blade, Green-Flame Blade, Booming Blade, Moonbea

    Honestly, I'm okay with the GWF ruling as well, because frankly it would turn Smites into significantly more powerful hits for 2-handed users than other Paladins. I like the idea of Smites from a Shortsword having the same impact as from a Greatsword. The divine radiant damage shouldn't depend...

    April Rules FAQ: Great Weapon Fighting, Pact of the Blade, Green-Flame Blade, Booming Blade, Moonbea

    You have to understand the difference between a round and a turn to properly see how it works. Once you do, it's exceedingly simple. Please refer to your PHBs for the difference between a round and a turn. From there, here is how the spells like Moonbeam/Spirit Guardians work: 1. Unless the...

    Nearly PvP

    The example provided is literally a knight in shinning armor going to give its shinning armor (horse) away. But honestly there are a dozen more instances of things like that where rulings would get wishy washy.

    D&D 5E (2014) It's been a while, I need help building a suitable 5e cleric (NO MULTICLASSING)

    I'm sorry but if you want AoE you can't really beat Tempest. That channel divinity is monsterous when combined with Call Lightning/Shatter. Puts Fireballs to shame and better yet deal lightning/thunder damage which are resisted far less. But at the end of the day your main DPR will come from...

    Nearly PvP

    Honestly I'd love something like that, but I could see it going off the rails real quick, especially with so much likely calling for DM interpretation. If I cast Suggestion and suggest that your super armored fighter is too hot and would rather fight naked, is that allowed? etc.

    Nearly PvP

    Yeah throwing away magic items like that is definitely griefing other players, period. You (and make no mistake there is zero difference between you and your character) might not like the magic item, but that is intentionally being disruptive. Like most adventuring parties, certain...

    Nearly PvP

    1. Only intentionally griefing players look for a way to try and create PVP situations, ala the discussions that happened in several threads recently. The reality is that AL admins and the rules have been crystal clear in this regard. No intentionally disrupting other players, which includes...

    What treasure do you wish was in upcoming adventures?

    I really wish they'd go back to whomever did the magic items for Lost Mines and just use that template. It was the perfect mix of fluff items (Glass staff) that had actual utility (mage armor + Shield spell) without any of them being particularly overwhelming. A little bit of something useful...

    Build-wise, what's far too common in the AL?

    I'd second this with the added caveat that it's heavily level dependent. So many people optimize for the lower levels because honestly you so rarely see the higher level content being offered. I'm just going to repeat that if you want to greatly increase diversity, at least remove the AL...

    Does anyone have experience with Aleatools? They seem to be the only ones on Amazon or otherwise. http://www.aleatools.com/category-s/36.htm

    Necromancy and AL

    The irony of early stating that someone should learn when to let an argument go because they've lost.... Showing his typical lack of reading comprehension, a competent reader would have later seen he offered the following statement after a back and forth discussion: "4. A Necromancer is a...

    Necromancy and AL

    On an entirely separate matter, anyone have any advice for the mechanical aspects of minionmancy and hope to make it more efficient? Current ideas include: 1. Dice rolling app (quickest but might bother DMs because they can't see rolls) 2. Letting other players roll (less quick but keeps...

    If anyone knows Pauper in real life, would be super to let his LC/RC know that he is violating (or at least advocating for the violation of) AL rules.

    Necromancy and AL

    Exactly, I'm glad we finally agree! Please see Kalani's and Greg's posts stating that Necromancy/Animate Dead are perfectly AL legal choices and that griefing other players, up to and including attacking their minions, is unacceptable play.

    Necromancy and AL

    Going to make a separate post so it's clear what comments go to whom. Cool, so your Paladin immediate attacks and tries to completely destroy all corpses right? That's your roleplaying excuse for griefing another player? So sure any time you happen upon a body in an Adventure you're going to...

    See now why I kept posting Kalani? People want to intentionally grief other players by couching it in roleplaying.
