[QUOTE="bardolph, post: 225140, member: 2304"] Well, you're the DM, and you make the rules. BUT, ask yourself this: How badly will it [b]really[/b] "ruin the integrity" of the campaign to allow this character? How much of your storylines will it [b]really[/b] force you to rewrite just because of this new character? ----- Another question: are you disallowing this character so that you can be "fair" to the other players, who weren't allowed these options when the campaign started? Maybe you can bring up this character concept up to them, and see what they think. Maybe they won't complain after all. If allowing this character will really make your job as a DM harder, explain this to the player. The player will no doubt propose some solutions. Listen to these solutions. Maybe they will be good solutions. If not, explain why you can't allow this character, and ask the player to make a new one. In my experience, imposing arbitrary class limitations usually doesn't result in a better campaign. It's usually just a way for the DM to get his pet peeves out of his system. But then again, it's your campaign, and you're the boss. [/QUOTE]
