Dungeons & Dragons will be a bit different when gameplay finally returns to game stores and other organized play venues, thanks to a change in Adventurer's League rules. Earlier this week, the Adventurer's League administrative team announced that players would no longer be constrained to the "PHB+1" rule that dictated character creation in previous years.

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's League play.
