[QUOTE="kalani, post: 6817693, member: 88085"] Actually, AL says the following: Emphasis mine. [B]The only rules you [I]must[/I] follow in the AL, are those rules from an official rules source.[/B] That includes the PHB, PHB errata, DMG (excluding optional/variant rules), DMG errata, MM, MM errata, AL Player's Guide, the AL FAQ, and articles on the website with rules content/official rulings (esp. those which make official rulings for the adventures themselves, such as [I]Out of the Abyss amendments[/I]). Sage Advice does not count as an official rules source in AL (but it is a valuable resource, and we encourage DMs to use it to inform their own rulings, providing the SA ruling does not contradict a rule in an official source). DMs do not have authority in AL to overrule (or ignore) anything in any of those sources, as I quoted in the article above (although we do forgive players/DMs for not being aware of the rules at any given time, and ask them to make the minimum changes once they do become aware of them). You may disagree with that sentiment, but it still remains fact....By choosing to ignore/substitute/alter the rules listed above, you have made the choice to play a non-AL game. I should also point out that JC himself has said Sage Advice =/= errata. It is simply a list of [I]rulings[/I] as to how the game was intended to be played. His personal twitter however is only a test-bed for SA. Some SA entries may become errata, and at that point - the AL expects you to use said errata (hense the inclusion of the PHB errata in my list of official rules sources above). [/QUOTE]
