Earlier this week, the Adventurer&#8217;s League administrative team announced that players would no longer be constrained to the &#8220;PHB+1&#8221; rule that dictated character creation in previous years. This rule stated that characters could only build characters using races and subclasses found in the <em>Player&#8217;s Handbook <\/em>plus one other source of the player&#8217;s choosing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This rule was originally intended to maintain character balance, as playtesting of new options was typically conducted assuming that players only owned a <em>Player&#8217;s Handbook<\/em>. However, this had the effect of severely hampering players when it came to what sort of characters they wanted to build when making a character for Adventurer&#8217;s League play. Although this rule change won&#8217;t effect D&amp;D players who spend their time in home campaigns, it is a big change for the thousands of players who play at stores or in conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, the Adventurer&#8217;s League will instead base what sourcebooks players can choose from based on what kind of campaign they are playing in. All major rulebooks (which includes the <em>Player&#8217;s Handbook <\/em>and expansions like <em>Xanathar&#8217;s Guide to Everything, Volo&#8217;s Guide to Monsters, <\/em>and <em>Tasha&#8217;s Cauldron of Everything<\/em>) will be legal in all campaigns. Players in campaigns set in the Forgotten Realms can use options from <em>Sword Coast Adventurer&#8217;s Guide<\/em>, while players in Seasonal Campaigns can also use options from the associated hardcover book. A full list of what sourcebooks players can use <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/we1b0SIx40?amp=1\">can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Adventurer&#8217;s League is the official ongoing organized play campaign for <em><a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/category\/dungeons-and-dragons\/\">Dungeons &amp; Dragons<\/a><\/em>, providing players with the opportunity to play D&amp;D in a continuous campaign across multiple locations. Campaigns are organized by chapters, and players can participate in these chapters at any location, provided that their character meets the chapter requirements. Most D&amp;D games played at conventions or game stores are Adventurer&#8217;s League adventurers, and <em>Dungeons &amp; Dragons <\/em>also runs monthly online games that use Adventurer&#8217;s League rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Play <strong>DRAGON ADVENTURES<\/strong> here: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.advanceddungeonsanddragons.com\/dragonadventures\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.advanceddungeonsanddragons.com\/dragonadventures<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LINK: https:\/\/comicbook.com\/gaming\/news\/dungeons-dragons-adventurers-league-phb-1-rule\/ Dungeons &amp; Dragons Adventurer League drop character creation rule: Dungeons &amp; Dragons will be a bit different when gameplay finally returns to game stores and other organized play venues, thanks to a change in Adventurer&#8217;s League rules.
