Please show me where either ARC or the ARB state that a portion of a card can be used during an event.
Edit: Moreover, restricting Racial Prof, specifically, but allowing the card can potentially have a cascading effect on the card (by rendering the card ineligible for PTDs/Parry/Riposte). I don't think the ARB intends for that to be possible.
The ARB (as quoted so many times):
This choice can be vetoed by your game’s
Plot Committee if it is inappropriate, and other
Alliance games have the right to refuse your
character’s skills if they are not reasonable.
It does not state that they can refuse your character card.
And per ARC:
While ARC prefers that this happen as little as possible, Plot has the ability to temporarily alter a card for any number of reasons if they choose to do so. In a case like this the effects should not continue past the end of an event. In general, ARC encourages plot teams to consider maintaining a significant deference to the original chapter's determination of acceptable skills so as to avoid issues like this.
Again, not stating that they would refuse the character outright just the skills.
Ultimately though as the above which is underlined: ARC encourages plot teams to consider maintaining a significant deference to the original chapter's determination of acceptable skills.
Therefore, a racial prof SHOULD not be denied, therefore, the problem is moot.
