[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 3043709, member: 467"] First of all, I like the fact that you picked the three classes from the editions which resticted race/class combos that were available to all races. Anyway, I think we have a fundamental difference of opinion on whether the DM has the right to restrict player choice in order to enforce a certain tone, genre or implied setting. That's fine. Different strokes and all that. But I think a DM does have that right. I think a DM can say "dwarves can't be arcane casters" because dwarves, in the game he wants to run, just don't act like that, don't feel like that and on't improve the setting by being arcane casters. (Again, just an example -- you could easily say the same thing about elves and divine casters.) This goes back to one of my main points in starting the thread: players often feel entitled to create whatever they want in wehatever way they want, because they are players and they bought the PHB and complete warrior, etc... I, on the other hand, think that if you agree to sit down and play a game in a certains tyle with a certain tone and a certain set of basic assumptions, you should agree to whatever restrictions help reinforce that style and tone and those assumptions.
