[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 4415598, member: 7394"] The biggest problem I've seen with the splats is having too many books at the table just to play one character. The solution to this is to take all of the applicable game mechanics, transcribe (or copy) them into their own Word file, and refer to that rather than referring to them in their original source. Yes, that means that your character might have a small booklet once you add in spells and everything, but it really, really avoids the clutter. I really like to only need the core books, adventure material, and maybe a monster book or two at the table when I play. Also, every mechanic borrowed from splats has to be OK'd be me before it's allowed in game. If the prestige class has no conceivable place in my campaign world, or the mechanics seem overpowered, or the mechanics are just plain wonky and hard to remember, they're a no-go. On that note, I advise my players not to buy the splats unless they don't mind the possibility of not using them in my game. [/QUOTE]
