[QUOTE="paqqy, post: 5048639, member: 75432"] Yeah. I personally like the limiitation when I DM, but not when I play. As a DM, it means that I don't have to read through 10 books to see what 1 player can do. On the other hand, as a player, I find that there are often one or two spells or feats that I might want from a book or just a prestige class. The restrictions often limit my imagination (and perhaps, consequently, my ability to min/max). For instance, in my ideal archivist build, I would have access to Complete Divine, Complete Champion, and Spell Compendium in addition to Heroes of Horror. That's 4 books altogether... yet I can only take 2-3 feats from Heroes of Horror, and only want a feat and two spells from Champion and a few spells from Divine that don't show up in the Compendium. I've definitely been guilty in the past of whipping out a spell description that the DM wasn't prepared for (Rain of Black Tulips and Rain of Roses). I was pulling things from all over the place in that campaign... though everyone else was doing that too. Blah [/QUOTE]
