The sad thing is, I bet it would be helpful.Now I'm wanting to create a list of really odd restrictions for my next campaign and just see how the players react. It would be a complete joke, but I would be serious about it at first just to see their reactions.I'll start a new thread about this. We could come up with some pretty funny restrictions.Oh definitely yes. From my experience at least. I am forced to play with randoms I meet from the internet. Not everyone is like that. But there is for sure a bunch of people that feel entitled to do whatever they want with their characters even right down to making backgrounds and such. I've had a player get mad at me because I didn't want her 3rd level PC backstory to involve divine intervention and direct contact with a god (that she made up). She preferred to make an entirely different PC (class & race) instead of changing the backstory. She told me I have control issues and I think creating a new PC was her way of telling me that I can't control how she makes a PC. All I did was ask for a tweak to the backstory.I think the biggest thing that helps DMs avoid player entitlement is the word "core". Players are less willing to argue about character creation when you say "core" only. And since sourcebooks are not "core", then they can't demand to use the material in them because they are not "core". I couldn't imagine how difficult players would be if the PHB only had basic rules and all of the racial, class, feats, and spells were all sourcebook only material.Cool. I'm in a group now that started a new campaign where we are all Monks. Monks are my least favorite class. I would probably have never played one. But I didn't care. I made a PC that I think could be a fun character to play and I've enjoyed myself so far. I never once thought to complain about this restriction. BTW, it just dawned on me that Half-Orcs were banned in this campaign! After all my talk about Half-Orcs as an example, I totally forgot about this. And not a single one of us has asked the DM why Half-Orcs are banned. Why in the world am I just now realizing this? For all we know, he simply banned them because he just doesn't like them.</blockquote>
