I also want to say I get and like the PHB +1 rule. I came to 5th edition from pathfinder and the splat books there were never ending. That said, disappointed that an exemption won't be made for races. WOTC has not published a broken race (not counting UA) and the race mechanics are simply  not game breaking. No volo race will break 5E. For flavor reasons, I wanted to bring a yaunti to chult and play a aasimar celestial warlock in AL. I get not wanting to allow in a broken combination but, even on the optimization boards, there's little to suggest that there's anything broken in the air. If the +1 rule applied to spells, feats, and classes but not races and backgrounds, all would be well. A goliath hexblade will not break AL. No race is mechanically broken and I can't see the harm of allowing genasi whisper bards to the table. I get that there's a rule and a process but sometimes you need to review a rule to see if it makes sense in a scenario.Thanks again for the answer.</blockquote>
