One of the posts I saw on Facebook about the new #dnd Adventurer’s League rules boggled my mind. They said they should be rewarded with some form of character story for giving up Harizwan. You know you can just do that, right? You don’t need permission to build your backstory.
Not everything needs to be a certificate in the #dnd Adventurer’s League. You can head-canon your character all you want as long as it doesn’t have a mechanical benefit. I had a +1 short sword with a hilt made of writhing tentacles. I MADE THOSE TENTACLES UP! We can do that!
We don’t need permission for a lot of the stories we want to build around our characters. Good DMs will roll with it. Some DMs will ignore it but that’s ok too. It’s real to us and that’s what matters. Earning story rewards is cool but making up your own stories is cool too.
