Message: <blockquote data-quote="SouthpawSoldier" data-source="post: 6832265" data-attributes="member: 6814337">I've gotten involved with a AL game at my FLGS that feels a bit less...structured than I expected. Being my first actual 5e play, I have nothing to compare it against, so I seek input from ya'll fine folks. For example, no details on downtime at the end of the session, starting sessions with a mix of PC levels (1-3); modules that are designed for 3rd level PC's being adjusted on the fly by the DM to fit a group of two 1st level and one 3rd level PC, etc.How much leeway do DM's have when running a formal AL game? I don't want to bug the guy outside of play, but I'm running into questions between sessions that could use clarification. Specifically;We just finished Out of the Abyss Episode One. During our adventure [sblock]escape from the drow, we rushed and didn't take on the priestess, only looting the guards' barracks; play felt rushed and handwaved to finish before FLGS closed[/sblock] I looted studded leather armor, an improvement over my currently owned leather [sblock] actually looted and regained our equipment, after fighting and escaping with stolen gear[/sblock].Since DM didn't award downtime, I have no idea how I'm supposed to go about selling the extra armor. I know there's specific guidelines, but I'm not sure what I can do at home. Right now, the character is a 1st level Archery fighter; finished play earning enough XP to reach 3rd level. If I level it into a ranged EK (current inclination), I'm going to restructure the character (my understanding is pre-4th level, I can adjust everything except equipment); this means selling the studded leather, as the DEX limit makes it unsuitable. I may sell both sets of armor, and rely on spells for AC.Other leveling ideas still involve selling extra equipment, and redistributing skills and ability scores to varying degrees.Were this a casual, at-home game, I would feel a lot more free to adjust various aspects of the character and equipment. I'd like to remain kosher for the AL play though.</blockquote>
