Message: <blockquote data-quote="MechaPilot" data-source="post: 6764235" data-attributes="member: 82779">A more accurate statement might be that DMs have no control for Adventurers League, because as I understand it DMs have other restrictions on their preferences than simply being forced to accept what is legal, and that if they want to control everything they should DM for a non-AL game.If that's the case then the approval process should be done by the DMs as a group, and that's a kink that should be worked out as part of agreement to round-robin DM.  The agreement can require a majority or unanimity, but some kind of agreement should be reached.Because the design experts are also not experts?  If the experts are actual experts and if there is a proper process for review, then any problems that arise should be limited to being minor in nature.  It only becomes an issue if there is no proper review, perhaps because the company is rushing the book to the shelves.With regard to taking an option back, yes, it is naturally harder to do once someone has chosen it because you then rely on the maturity of that person and the persuasiveness of your reasoning for removing the option.  However, the notion that something in the future that is published affects the previously-allowed option in a way detrimental to the campaign assumes that the DM doesn't also assess the future material before integrating it (or that the DM didn't do a thorough job of doing so).  As far as developments in a campaign causing a problem, that can happen even with the existing options and is not a reason to not have them available for those who want them.Sounds like an excuse for shoehorning too much new material into resources that fans of older material want to use.  just because you create a duelist class or subclass doesn't mean you have to shove a duelist NPC into an adventure.  You can suggest the possibility of changing that NPC into a duelist, but the NPC should work just fine and have the appropriate flavor even if you are not using the dueslist option or the book that it comes in.  Paizo's failure to recognize that you don't have to shove new options down people's throats is not a valid excuse for not creating more options, it's a flaw in the execution of their products.</blockquote>
