[QUOTE="hoshisabi, post: 6815797, member: 6676668"] Yes, but my comment was talking about a Halfling. Like I said, I'm fine with it being available for home play only. All OP programs have some amount of restrictions on what you can play. In my home game, I made a warlock invocation that is the same as the False Life one, only instead it lets you cast Armor of Agathys. Because home play, and I wanted to, and so I did. There's just some benefits to doing home play. I have a lot more control, and when I play with my friends, I can trust them to not ruin my game by taking advantage of things... or at least being understanding when we have to readjust if something goes wrong. (And we've been playing together for over 20 years, so ... I know I can trust them.) But, OP doesn't know any of us that well, so I understand that they can't trust us. This isn't about showing your belly. Your opinion is well understood, I'm just saying that it's very unlikely that what we say or do here will change the direction of the AL with regards to this specific decision: it's unlikely SCAG and EE will be allowed together. We have an honest-to-goodness administrator, at least one RC, and I happen to be an LC myself (Detroit Area, though I'm not speaking officially, not that I really have any pull either). But, you got the word out, so that did happen. I mean, I don't disagree with the basic opinion. In fact, I would *love* for genasi to become an "evergreen option." Just like they put svirvneblin in the SCAG, thus prolonging its legality... I'd like to see genasi get that same treatment. I think that might be a different enough approach, that maybe we could suggest that. No guarantee, but it's a different approach to suggest what you want. I don't think we can necessarily get the spells approved, because there's a lot of spells and I can imagine those would be a hassle to vet as far as balance issues... (And I've already been annoyed with some of the EE spells). But a race is probably a much easier target to justify. (and maybe include goliath in there, too, because I like those weirdos too.) So, we can keep it all casual, next time I get a chance I might suggest "Might we see genasi and goliath become permanently permitted races?" Because, why not? [/QUOTE]
