Message: <blockquote data-quote="AaronOfBarbaria" data-source="post: 6748295" data-attributes="member: 6701872">As one of those "allow anything" types, I will allow whatever can be made fair (as determined by the group at the table, not just my own sensibilities).If that means saying no to some home-brew thing, I don't just say "no." I say "not like that," and try to find a way to make a fair solution to the scenario - such as rewriting a bit of that homebrew.If that means saying "yes" to someone playing something from the monster manual, it brings along with it extending that option to the other players so that they feel fairness is upheld, or a bit of home-brewing to make a fair option out of an otherwise unfair one.And in all cases, I remind the player that there is a difference between being able to play a particular thing and that thing actually being common in the setting (i.e. yes you can play a warforged in my Mystara campaign, no there are not numerous other warforged around, and no people are not going to immediately realize you are a person rather than just some fancy golem).I think that folks who would let their own fun be negatively impacted by someone else playing a race they don't like are players I wouldn't like to have at my table - especially since I'm personally not fond of gnomes, but would never tell my players that really like gnomes that they can't play them because that would spoil their fun for no reason because I am perfectly capable of just not dwelling on that their characters are gnomes.</blockquote>
