[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 7433913, member: 7635"] Yes, but the SCAG pretty much uses the PHB "as written", I'm more curious about a setting* that deviates radically from the PHB. Dark Sun is, theoretically, a good example of this; lets say DS forces ALL elves to take the "Athasian Elf" subrace to account for their difference from standard PHB elves. Under PHB +1, no elf could take a subclass from Xanathar's. The difference being; while a (for example) elf storm sorcerer can't be a sea elf or eladrin, he can still be a high or wood elf, but if all elves are required to be Athasian elf subraced and no PHB subraces are not allowed, that elves could never have options beyond the PHB (and whatever DS book the athasian elf subrace is in). I don't mind having to choose between picking exotic races and subclasses, but if a hypothetical DS would disallow options from the PHB and replace them, it doesn't seem fair to force anyone to have to use their +1 to play a PHB race. I guess we'll cross that bridge if/when we get another setting beyond Faerun. [/QUOTE]
