The DM always has the final say on rules questions."So no, players are never given any "sole authority", and even official rulings are not mandatory.This is why, by the way, it should not really matter whether floating ASIs are an option or not. The only real benefit is for beginning DMs who can therefore more easily resist bullying players who insist that they are entitled to whatever they want in terms of character creation (and I've seen many of these coming to forums and whining about their "Bad DMs" - all the while whining as well about not finding enough DMs to run games for them).</blockquote>
