Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pauper" data-source="post: 6832312" data-attributes="member: 17607">I am not an admin, but these are good points and I thought I'd either amplify or answer some of these as I could:It's also in the current ALPG ("Home Game Rewards"), but it's not always clear what constitutes an 'episode' for a hard-cover module. Even if this had to become an appendix, it would be nice to have an official delineation of where the 'episode breaks' occur.As it happens, any character who plays all the way through and survives Death House is ineligible to play in 4-1, because Death House ends with your character at level 3, and 4-1 is only legal for level 1-2 characters (as is the case with all the X-1 modules). An official nod that this is where the continuity puts the mod would be nice, but I think most players will get the idea that Death House and the 4-1 episodes occur roughly in the same time-frame. I suspect the DMs Guild is going to spur a lot of changes to the Player's Guide -- the section on Home Play, for example, is in need of drastic revision. Still, I agree that a one-liner regarding the legality of DMs Guild items for AL would be the most valuable change that could be made prior to Season 4.If anything, I'd like to see this de-emphasized with the new open approach to home-play, since DCI numbers are not needed for that. Something along the lines of, "If you need a DCI number for the game you're participating in, the game organizer should be able to show you how to get one and how to use it." This also points new players at the organizers when it comes to asking questions about the campaign structure and requirements, like how to fill out a log.This would be a good addition to the Links and Resources page.Since it was always intended that the SCAG rebuild be a limited-time offer, not mentioning it would be the equivalent of saying it's expired. I'm OK with leaving this out of the ALPG.On one hand, the Allowed Rules section of the ALPG has always said that everything in the PH is allowed, save for rolling ability scores and HP, plus some alignment restrictions. On the other hand, the 'what you need to run a game' section of the DMs portion of the ALPG only says you need the Basic Rules, not a full PH. This caused some spirited discussion back on the WotC boards when someone asked if that meant a DM could effectively prohibit PH material if nobody at the table actually had a copy of the PH. Even now, with the expanded SRD, this could become an issue -- if someone knows that an Eldritch Knight option exists for fighters, but nobody playing a home game actually owns a PH, does the DM have to allow it knowing that nobody has the official rules for the sub-class?As long as the ALPG doesn't require anybody to own a PH, I think the option has to be left open to disallow any option that the table has no official rules for, even if that option would otherwise be allowed.That seems weird, because the official AL Organizers FAQ hasn't been updated to change the current expectation -- multiple-use consumable items are treated as permanent items, and count against your total even when fully consumed. <a href="http://dndadventurersleague.org/sage/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions_(FAQ)#Do_multiple_use_consumable_items_like_Keoghtum.27s_Ointment_count_as_permanent_magic_items_in_my_magic_item_count.3F" target="_blank">http://dndadventurersleague.org/sage/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions_(FAQ)#Do_multiple_use_consumable_items_like_Keoghtum.27s_Ointment_count_as_permanent_magic_items_in_my_magic_item_count.3F</a>Clarification on this point would be appreciated.--Pauper</blockquote>
