So you're saying that I should allow things I dislike even though that WILL detract from my enjoyment of running the game, wich in turn will most definitely detract from all of the players enjoyment?
Don't you think it'd be a better idea if I simply limited whatever it is to start with & saved us all a bunch of frustration & wasted time?
I'm saying that you should at least think about it and try to allow it. If I say no because when I created my world in 2e days they were not around and now I cannot figure out a way to allow it, then I'm not doing my job. There are things you may need to exclude which is fine, but when a player wants to do something you should try to work with him.
If the DM came to me and said that my character is being killed because he does not like the concept or build I would have problems with it. Same with a DM that came and flat out said that the next campaign everyone is playing elves that get shrunk down to ride rabbits and defeat the evil cat holding the faerie queen prisoner. I may not want to play something like that for a year or more. I guess I kind of figure that the DM has so much to do and create with so much free reign, that character creation should be where players can have free reign.
