[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7272858, member: 1465"] Yep. "It's popular" is just their innocent-sounding jargon for it. Even tho I am going to take advantage of the reprints (at least I always wanted the Swashbuckler and Storm Sorcerer added to my games, now I can have them without buying SCAG), part of me can't stop thinking that reprints are a little bit like musicians deciding to include their most popular song or two from an older album into the latest one, and not even a "remake" (which is 99% a cheapskate's low blow in music anyway) but really just exactly the same song they've already sold in a previous album. This makes me wonder if we should expect in a couple of years to even see some "best of 5e" books to exploit AL players. And then more of them by popular demand because there's a guy there in Nevada who still can't play his Firbolg Mystic/Hexblade with Green Flame Blade in AL. My bottom line being, why coming up with this big AL+1 umbrella rule at all, if you aren't willing to stick with it and instead start sneaking exceptions in the new books? [/QUOTE]
