[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6405980, member: 9037"] Not nearly as bad because the game designers themselves admit that core gets tested more than the options and that they can't possibly test all the options with everything to make sure that they have not put something in the game that can be broken. You are making an assumption and you are wrong. I never said that all people who like options are powergamers what I said was in the hands of a powergamer a lot of options can be brought in to break the game. I never said they should not publish splatbooks in the very first post I made in this thread I said I like splatbooks and that the best way to handle it for individual DMs to say no to what they didn't want in their games. No a gunslinger use gun powder which the DM didn't want in her world she also knew that he is a huge powergamer and wanted to try and avoid it in the Pathfinder game while she was learning the ins and outs of the game. I have said that all along that if players don't like what the DM is offering then say I don't want to play it if it turns out the whole table or the majority feel the same way then the DM needs to either change his restrictions or step down and let someone else DM. But if the majority is okay with what the DM wants to do then the player either needs to dedice can he play with the restrictions if he can't then he shouldn't play. [/QUOTE]
