[QUOTE="flametitan, post: 6857164, member: 6822731"] Just not in AL. Home games can do whatever you want. AL is built around the assumption that AL characters will be jumping from table to table, whether its because your players and DM have a busy schedule, preventing you from having the same group every time, or it's because you heard of a nearby Epics event and want to attend with the character you've been playing as. As a result, a mostly consistent base of rulings is required to prevent a character that would be allowed at one table from being vetoed at another. This baseline is the Rules as Written + some AL specific stuff, like story origins. As such, it prevents things that couldn't be done with RAW regardless of how much sense it makes. If you're not playing by AL rules, there's no reason why something that makes sense can't be done, aside from a disagreement on if it's reasonable. You're not worrying about having a character from another store hop in and play a session with a dubious character, so you get the freedom of doing whatever it is you want. [/QUOTE]
