Be prepared for players who only glance at the Guide to miss this reference.It should be noted that this option is not listed in the ALPG under the Elemental Evil past storyline season rules; the SCAG is not listed as an allowed rules option for Elemental Evil, nor is it listed as an allowed rules option under Tyranny of Dragons. SCAG is listed as an allowed rules source for Rage of Demons (including the sidebar that notes which rules in SCAG are modified or disallowed for AL).If this is intended to be a change to the current understanding of how allowed rules options are meant to be, confirmation from someone on the admin team would be appreciated.The new ALPG is clearer on this -- it notes that "[a]ny magic item that has a small number of uses does not count as a permanent magic item" unless it is a wand or "other magic item<s> that [has] charges that reset", which do count as permanent items. Based on this description, Keoghtom's Ointment (listed in the SRD as "Restorative Ointment", p.238) is consumable, since its charges do not reset.</s><s></s><s>I'd also assume that any item where the description notes that the item becomes "nonmagical" once its charges are expended (Ring of Three Wishes, Rod of Absorption, etc.) would also no longer count against your permanent magic item total, since the item is no longer magical, but the Magic Item FAQ makes this unclear, as it notes that even a 'broken' magic item still counts against your permanent magic item total.</s><s></s><s></s><s></s><s>The note in the ALPG goes above and beyond the story award -- especially as Death House, as presented in Curse of Strahd and Dragon+, does not contain an exit from Ravenloft, only from the house. (There could be something in the extended Game Day material that might allow characters played this weekend in the Game Day events to leave Ravenloft when they exit the house, though.)</s><s></s><s>--</s><s>Pauper</s></blockquote>
