The bit about Sage Advice is this (for those not in the know):But where does this leave Elfs? You do not bring up the interaction between elf trance and long rests, Pauper. And rightly so, since Sage Advice doesn't apply to AL.What has been the accepted way to run elves before in AL games? Do you expect a change now?(Since no actual rule regarding either elf trance in particular or how it interacts with long rests has changed, I'm guessing the answer must be "elf trance is handled in AL just like before" with "before" being "expect table variation", yes?)More specifically, if any one of you expects Elfs to be handled differently, in that they previously needed 8 hours to complete a long rest, and now only needs 4, what specific rule do you base this change on?The only argument I can see is that elf trance replaces the need for sleep. But how the errata, which adds in an actual requirement for sleep, can make your rest go from 8 to 4 hours, I cannot fathom.I agree errata was needed because elf trance previously didn't actually do anything (since all it did was replace something nobody needed to do).And I maintain that if the devs wanted to switch from 8 hour elf long rests to 4, they have never said anything on this matter in the rules, not for, not against.The real million dollar question, of course, is why on earth the devs wants to keep the length of elf long rests as something undefined...? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> (clarified, yes; defined, no)</blockquote>
