[QUOTE="morepurplemorebetter, post: 6687432, member: 6788192"] I looked at all the AL material and nowhere did I find the ruling that everything in the DMG is off-limits. You are correct that options for creating characters is limited to certain things, but this is only for creating characters. I don't think that means that everything in the DMG is not allowed. The DMG offers some variant rules and I can see how those are not allowed (e.g. alternative initiative system, or variant resting systems), but it also offers some rules on situations that are bound to occur, such as wanting to move through an opponent's square or dealing with a chase. On the [URL="https://dnd.wizards.com/playevents/dms"]WotC official organized play site for DMs[/URL] there is even a mention of using the Dungeon Master’s Guide as an "optional nice-to-have thing". I removed the actions as you asked, but I'm not sure it is the right call. It would be great if somebody has a resource that offers a definitive answer, but for now I don't have any reason to suspect AL is cracking down on anything other than character creation when it comes to using the DMG. As I said before, I'm hesitant to put any links in my sheet (other than the one referring to where to get a newer version). I think it is unnecessary clutter and, because it would refer to websites I have no control over, I would have to check if the link remains valid. [/QUOTE]
