The DM doesn't know much in the way of details of how a campaign plays out for certain because the PC's are independent actors. Instead of bickering and banning things it's best to focus on what everyone can enjoy playing together on a day-to-day basis.Remove options from the table when they create too much work for the DM (complex sub-systems, unbalanced mechanics) or pit players against one another, not just because they are initially written in a way that rubs you (one member at the table about of a group of 5 or more) the wrong way. Player's should be reasonable too. The DM's got to prep encounters and NPCs and so many other moving parts of the game - don't make him read 8 issues of Dragon Magazine just to learn your 1 character. Again, you're 1 out of 5+ and the game is for everyone.It's a game. It's supposed to be fun and fair. It's not supposed to be anybody's next fantasy novel.- Marty Lund</blockquote>
