[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8515213, member: 7032025"] If it's achievable in the game world. PCs are not dragons or fiends or even half-fiends or demigods. They don't have all blood lines, all divine connections from birth. They made choices at creation, and these choices will limit what they can do (while still giving them incredible capabilities in their chose areas). You might need to be from Sheng to be a Sheng Dragon Warrior, so that you have the blood of the Dragon in you. So you can't use the secret technique that requires it. Why does it matter, you have other capabilities. And this is already the case in the D&D rules, you need dragon blood to be a dragon sorcerer. If you don't have it, you will not get the powers. Why accept some limitation and refuse that others can have what you can't ? Honestly, it's a very limiting view of the fantasy world. And still Hermione is very bad at some types of magic (she admits it herself) and there are therefore some things that she will never be able to do. Because at character creation, she choose some things to be good at and others not. And about the hoarcrux, it's still an NPC thing, for example if I say that horcruxes are mandatory evil and turn you to evil if you create one, and I don't accept evil PCs (standard campaign limitation), then it is by definition a NPC thing.
