Version 15.1  \nWHAT IS THIS?  \nThis document provides rules for creating and advancing characters within the D&D Adventurers League (AL), an official public play program for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) .  \nCompanions to this guide are in D&D Beyond’s forum.  \nCREATING A CHARACTER  \nUse the character creation rules from the Player’s Handbook (2024), abbreviated as PH 2024, available rules sources (“What Rulebook Should I Use?”), and* the following notes. You begin play at 1st level.  \nStep 0: Choose Your Campaign. See the Appendix.  \nStep 1: Choose a Class.  \nStep 2: Choose a Species or Custom Lineage, Background, Equipment, Language, and Trinket.  \n• Custom Lineage. If using the Custom Lineage option (Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, TCE), choose an Origin or uncategorized (not updated as Origin, General, Fighting Style, or Epic Boon) feat.  \n• Feat. Uncategorized feats can only be chosen when character options do not specify a category. The uncategorized Fighting Initiate feat (TCE) is not a workable option.  \n• Background. Use any available background or create a background from Dungeon Master’s Guide (2024), abbreviated below as “DMG 2024 .”  \n• Language. If the language relating to your character’s heritage is not listed as an Origin option, you may choose it (e.g. a tiefling knowing Infernal) .*  \nStep 3: Determine Ability Scores. Your ability scores are generated using the Standard Array or Point Cost.  \nStep 4: Choose an Alignment. Non-evil alignment only.  \nStep 5: Fill In Details.  \n• Deity: Clerics must and other classes may choose a campaign’s deity or one not specific to another world.  \n• Faction: You may choose one faction from the Basic Rules (2014)’s Appendix C or campaign lore at character creation or anytime the opportunity arises in the adventure. Faction benefits are detailed within adventures. You may only have membership in one faction at a time and switch whenever you’d like. The Red Wizards faction is not an available choice.  \nSTARTING PLAY AT 5TH LEVEL  \nYou may create a 5th level character instead of starting at 1st level. Receive your standard gear from your class and background, 500 gold pieces, 40 downtime days, and one of the following magic items.  \n• +1 all-purpose tool (TCE)  \n• +1 amulet of the devout (TCE)  \n• +1 arcane grimoire (TCE)  \n• +1 bloodwell vial (TCE)  \n• +1 dragonhide belt (FTD)  \n• +1 moon sickle (TCE)  \n• +1 rhythm-maker’s drum (TCE)  \n• +1 rod of the pact keeper  \n• +1 shield  \n• +1 wand of the war mage  \n• +1 weapon  \n• +1 wraps of unarmed power*  \n• Bag of holding  \nUSE MOST CURRENT CONTENT  \nUse the most recent version of D&D content, starting on its published release date. For example, most of the PH 2014  \nsubclasses, species, and feats were updated in the PH 2024. Only the following PH 2014’s nonupdated options are still available.  \n• Cleric subclasses. Knowledge, Nature, and Tempest Domain  \n• Wizard subclasses. School of Conjuration, Enchantment, Necromancy, and Transmutation  \n• Species. Half-elf and half-orc  \n• Feats. Dungeon Delver, Linguist, and Martial Adept*  \nIf an adventure or other content directs a character to use an outdated rules option, use the most current and similar guidance. Once a core rulebook has its worldwide release, all AL games must use them. Players are allowed a sixty-day grace period to update their characters.  \nWHAT RULEBOOKS SHOULD I USE?  \nCORE RULEBOOKS*  \n• PH 2024 and PH 2014  \n• Free Rules (2024) and Basic Rules (2014)  \nADDITIONAL CHARACTER OPTIONS*  \n• Baldur’s Gate: Decent into Avernus (backgrounds)  \n• Bigby Presents: Glory of Giants  \n• Book of Many Things  \n• The Border Kingdoms (backgrounds)  \n• Curse of Strahd (background, trinkets)  \n• Durnan’s Guide to Tavernkeeping (backgrounds)  \n• Elemental Evil Player’s Companion (feat)  \n• Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons (FTD)  \n• Ghosts of Saltmarsh (backgrounds)  \n• Hoard of the Dragon Queen (background features","cbCaidgtJd7gVqTR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidgtJd7gVqTR","pdf",484870,"English","# Creating a Character\n## Starting Play at 5th Level\n# Use Most Current Content\n# What Rulebooks Should I Use?\n# Playing Adventures\n## Tier by Character Level\n# Player and DM Etiquette","[{\"question\":\"How do I create a character for D\\u0026D Adventurers League?\",\"answer\":\"Create the character following the Player’s Handbook (2024) rules, starting at 1st level.
