[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7490907, member: 6919838"] "Again, I have to agree that this particular origin story is not violating anything on the greater scale, and there is no valid reason for it to be rejected if the DM is not also rejecting origins for half-orcs and half-elves since those origins necessitate “dictating” the world." I see a **massive difference** on the order of the mass of Saturn to the mass of my prostate between these two viewpoints as to player character fluff and the player's viewpoint - expressed or not to the GM: "My character is a half-elf, a race you allowed and uses the half-elf stats from the book as you indicated" "My character is a sort of half-werewolf and that gives him barbarian rage even though you have not established these half-wolf thing into your game... You'll be a jerk if you say no." Again, i might not have any problem with the particular addition for any given campaign i run. I actually like it. But it needs to be a start of a discussion and negotiation and work towards common aggreement in our games (me and my,players) not a one sided mandated with "or be a jerk" and "its my fluff" hammer being added to the mix. Your games may vary. [/QUOTE]
