[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8753611, member: 7030563"] Why does it matter what classes others play? Also, if I am starting at level 1 I don't even always have my subclass figured out yet! Usually I have an idea and maybe a couple of options but nothing is firm yet unless I am a Warlock or Cleric or Sorcerer. Moreover whether I announce it first or last, what is the difference. I am going to play what I want to play regardless of what others play. What is the DM going to do? Is he going to overule me and say[I] "no you have to play this kind of wizard because Bob is a fighter and Jill is a Barbarian."[/I] That is not a table I would play at. I am fine with restrictions on the front end (i.e. no bladesingers or no divination wizards or PHB only) and I can choose whether or not to play in that game, but to make such a ruling after the game has started is a breach of the social contract. I have never went into a game and decided what I was playing based on what others were playing. Others at the table did that at times, but that was their choice. I am going to play the character I want to play whether it "overshadows" others or not. You play the character you want to play and let me play the one I want to play. [/QUOTE]
