[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7287394, member: 2525"] That's really, truly not how that works. It's not an issue of if an individual DM can justify their actions by imagining any vague sort of gray area possible. "Everyone plays by the same rules" means a player can create the character and play with it at DM table A is City Y, and then come to DM B and play in City Z, and it's supposed to be exactly as legal at all tables. Your interpretation, which goes directly against the plain text of the PHB rules AND against the stated public intent of the creator of the rules, would disallow a legally created and played character at another AL table. That's not allowed. The rules would kick you out, not them. This isn't some hotly debated and contested rule - I have literally seen ZERO people ever make the claim you're making about this rule, that this is merely an interpretation of a gray area. The only people I am aware of who made this change did it explicitly as a house rule and stated they knew it was a house rule. This is very clearly a house rule. You really are not allowed, by AL rules, to do that. [/QUOTE]
