[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 3592136, member: 13703"] I've started along those lines. When I DM my PHB is generally off limits to the players since I often need it to reference one rule or another. My wife and I are having a baby in 3 months time. I'll probably have a break for a couple of months and start again with a new campaign. I'll make it clear before we start that if you want to play a spellcaster you must have your own copy of the PHB (since they need to constantly look up their spells). I can imagine what the result will be.....none of the players without a PHB will play a spellcaster! :\ :( The sad thing is that the number of PHB's at the table has increased. The only other guy that owns a PHB only joined the group in the last 6 months. Prior to him joining I was the only person that owned a copy of the PHB. It got so bad I asked all the players to chip in a few bucks to get a group copy. Everyone agreed, but then one of the other players said that he would just borrow a copy of the PHB on a semi-permanent basis from a guy he knew. Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
