[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7427809, member: 2629"] Of course, a list that limits abusive concepts and expressly states the intent of the list is to maintain balance for players that have not bought all the books, but preserves the most options available that are not out of balance also achieves the same goal with the same message *explicitly* made. Further, a player that buys the PHB and most recent book and starts to play right now can still be quite upset when he discovers that another book has options that are perfect for his character concept... but are now unavailable to his PC. They went with the simple rule. It favors simplicity over breadth of options. There are a lot of great options that can be played under it, but it also makes some options very hard to choose as they're isolated in a book with few other options. Do you want to play a Gith wizard knowing that you can't have Xanathar's spells? It makes the race quite less attractive than a PHB or XGtE choice... Do we think it is good to discourage Gith Wizards? [/QUOTE]
