[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9512477, member: 6801845"] It's fine that you want to add a house rule to the game. I don't and it wouldn't have fit the campaign. You made one suggestion that I remember that would have actually mattered to the player. They lose an eye and have disadvantage on perception checks. Losing an eye? Been there, done that. Bleeding eye? Cool. Something else that you hinted at but never actually stated? I can't read your mind. An idea that did not follow the rules of the game nor the established lore of the world deserves to be shot down. Also, again ... it was not a proposal by the player. It was a proclamation. Via house rule. Which is fine. Could I? Sure. I could imagine Odin zooming in on a Harley Davidson named Sleipnir and just handing us the phylactery. I've explained why I wouldn't do it, it gives that cleric a superpower nobody else has along with totally violating world lore. Players can ask, sometimes the DM is going to say no. If they [I]always[/I] say no that's different. Unless of course the player is just repeatedly asking for the same thing. There's a massive difference between not giving a player everything and anything they want, limiting the capabilities of characters to the rules and spirit of the game most of the time and the imaginary power hungry DMs lording their control over the players.
