I can see the Paladin tenets being contradictory to those who don't go LG. Upholding the tenets laid out in your oath should be the only requirement, as those are generally more alignment-flexible.As for keeping rare player options rare, it only works so far within the framework of OP. Until Season 3, I had more dragonborn and tieflings at my FLGS' tables than humans. I think a general rule of thumb needs to be in place to determine if something becomes a certed player option. If its stats appear in a book meant for player consumption, then it's ineligible for being certed. Most AL players who buy a player options book are expecting to be allowed to use nearly all of it at some point. On the flipside, by picking the certed player options from books meant for DMs, you actually encourage sales of DM materials and may convert some players to DMs in the process. Players who have the certs for Death Domain, Aasimar, Oathbreaker, and Eladrin (the latter two not available yet) now have an incentive to purchase the DMG, as it contains the pertinent player options. At that point, the book no longer serves the sole AL player-related function of magic item catalog. After reading through the crunchy bits enough times, the player will be invariably faced with a decision: read the DM stuff or put the book away. Either way, WotC and your FLGS win, because they've already got your money.</blockquote>
