#4 dwgautier Sep 05, 2014 9:22:13	Thanks!!! I really wish ALL the treasure was easier to find while reading. Also anyone else doing adventurers league notice that the PCs could get two longbows plus one but there is only one cert for a longbow?
#5 Hailrobonia Sep 05, 2014 11:40:17	See, this cloak of elvenkind is so stealthy that even the DM can't find it!
#6 dwgautier Sep 05, 2014 12:07:12	I looked again.... Its not in the book! I did get the early release of it... Did they change it?
#7 Thank_Dog Sep 05, 2014 18:31:00	Yeah, I can't find it in the book or the encounters PDF.

#11 Bumamgar Sep 07, 2014 7:56:14	Overall I'm a bit displeased with the editorial quality of HotDQ. I've found several spelling / typographical errors and I'm only on Episode 3. (For example, Page 17 'The large ten at area 2' rather than 'The large tent at area 2'.) Also, there is a lack of consistancy in formatting. Some sections have a "Treasure" block seperated out, similar to how it was presented in the starter set, and other areas do not. Heck, they aren't even consistant on the same page in some cases. Add in the misspellings on the area map (Silvermoon instead of Silverymoon, etc) and the complete lack of any magical treasure till Episode 6 (when the players should be 5th level. Compare to the Starter set where by 5th level the players have had access to several staves, magical weapons, a wand and a ring). It really doesn't seem to be consistant with the quality of the starter set.

#14 Plaguescarred1 Sep 28, 2014 11:18:45	FWIW the Cloak of Elvinkind in D&D Next Playtest was letting you attempt to hide in any natural environment without having to be obscured whie no creature is nearby. Cloak of Elvenkind Uncommon wondrous item This long cloak is fashioned from gray cloth, expertly crafted, and is half the weight of a normal cloak. An elf who sees a non-elf wearing a cloak of this sort might assume the cloak is stolen. In some cases, however, cloaks of elvenkind are presented as gifts to the elves’ most trusted and valued allies. Property: While you wear a cloak of elvenkind with the hood up, you can attempt to hide in any natural environment, as long as no creatures are within 20 feet of you. You do not have to be obscured to make the attempt, but you must stay quiet.

FWIW the Cloak of Elvinkind in D&D Next Playtest was letting you attempt to hide in any natural environment without having to be obscured whie no creature is nearby.

Cloak of Elvenkind

Uncommon wondrous item

This long cloak is fashioned from gray cloth, expertly crafted, and is half the weight of a normal cloak. An elf who sees a non-elf wearing a cloak of this sort might assume the cloak is stolen. In some cases, however, cloaks of elvenkind are presented as gifts to the elves’ most trusted and valued allies.

Property: While you wear a cloak of elvenkind with the hood up, you can attempt to hide in any natural environment, as long as no creatures are within 20 feet of you. You do not have to be obscured to make the attempt, but you must stay quiet.
