I allow Paladins as a PrC (ala UA), the Soulknife as a PrC (per 3.0 Psionics Handbook), and definitly disallow all Oriental classes (unless it fits the theme of the game, which hasn't happened yet despite 2 OA books in the grousp posession <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Other than that, I have never had a real problem with non-core base classes; I love what they can add to a game, and in all honesty, most of them are vastly underpowered, or on par with the core 11 classes (some of which I have nerfed a bit, and some which I have boosted a bit).cheers,--N</blockquote>
