[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6752276, member: 37579"] And, assuming they grandfather in existing characters, there'll be people who miss the deadline and cannot make a planned build. Or people who cannot make a character equivalent to the people they're playing with at the table. It creates confusion, tension, and a double standard based on when people started. And there's a chance of not getting the ruling in on time. Unless the AL receives copies of the books early and catches a broken combo in time to make the ruling, there might be a window where people could make a character that breaks the power curve. Oh well. If you really want to play that character, then start a homegame. Y'know, assuming the DM doesn't also impose limits on options and races. Don't come play at my table because there are no goliaths in my world. Organized play works based on restrictions. There was a wealth of things I could not do in Living Greyhawk and cannot do in PFS. There are lots of things that work just fine in a homegame but would fall apart in organized play. They need to impose some limits and rules. Do you regularly play AL? Are you actually unable to play a combination you wanted for your next character? Or is this a theoretical complaint? [/QUOTE]
