I have no problem playing in a game where a DM says there are no wizards just sorcerers or there are no monks, elves, whatever. I have been lucky with some of my DMs they are good at working with the players to make a character that fits. For example in a 3.0 game the DM allowed me to swap out the sorcerer skill list with the empath spell list it fit what my character was about much better.I am not sure where this DM Vs Player mentality has come from. But it is bad and I think it kills creativity you don't have to use all the options to make the game fun. Nor do you need to not allow any to keep control.</blockquote>
