[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6752409, member: 37579"] You said "you don't play because of the restriction". Not "you stopped playing". And so I asked. I never played any LFR but I played a lot of Living Greyhawk and remember there was a loooong long list of banned content, open content, and the infamous not-open-not-closed content that required a cert to unlock. That was annoying and it was a pain having to hunt for pre-reqs So the guy running the group is a "jerk" for wanting to [I]follow the rules[/I]? For wanting to enforce the limitation on the aasimar to requiring the reward cert people won or earned (or, yes, paid for) rather than devaluing it and letting someone play an illegal character that can't be used elsewhere? Would he also be a jerk if he didn't let you fudge a roll? Or not let you roll for ability scores? Is the aasimar banned for balance reasons? No. But it's limited for flavour and as a reward, like magic items. Pathfinder Society does this all the time, with different races being restricted. Maybe they'll do the same for other races, letting you get a cert that allows you to play races in different story origins. She may not be on this message board, but the news on SCAG was also posted on the AL website, tweeted, and on Facebook. And I imagine the people running the events will also be made aware so they can educate at game tables. There's an expectation that if you're playing in OP you read the Player's Guides for the campaign and check the rules. The story origins have been in the Player's Guides for a while. It was pretty apparent from the beginning that you would not likely be able to freely mix-and-match books. That SCAG is open to all story origins and not just Rage of Demons is actually more liberal a ruling than I was expecting. I thought the book would be limited to one story origin. [/QUOTE]
