[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3456362, member: 22779"] Actually, you were. I was the one who brought up the idea of the WF ninja in a pirate campaign. When people cried about how it didn't fit into the flavour of the setting, I posted a brief background fitting it into the setting. You then posted about how it is entirely on the shoulders of the DM to fit it into his campaign. It isn't and nor should it be. The player should be cognizant of the fact that his idea is outside the norm for the setting and should make efforts to fit it in. That's just being a good player. What I don't really understand is why DM's feel the need to control the player's characters. I do understand mechanical issues. That I already talked about. But, when it comes to purely flavour issues, when it isn't going to be more work for the DM, why should the DM care? It's my character, I'm the one who has to play it. The DM gets to control 99.9% of the campaign, why can't I have this? Is that a really unreasonable attitude for the player to have? [/QUOTE]
