No spellcasters (or whatever) for instance. No halfings or gnomes. Anything in the 3e core was optional too. Emphasis mine.Honestly, I believe a DM should be doing that because that's what the player wants to play. It doesn't matter if it comes from a core or non core or whatever - if the DM's campaign is so inflexible that he won't make room for what a player wants, then I'd have to make a value judgment about that DM. It's the players' campaign too.The caveat here is that things are omitted for stylistic/tone choices. Sure, a DM saying no to a light hearted prankster gnome in a RAVENLOFT game makes sense because it fits the tone of the game. Or if he thinks it's broken or will disrupt his game, by all means. But if the DM is just excluding or unwilling to make room because either 1) he just doesn't like that Thing, or 2) can't or won't think of a way that fits in his world... that's A Problem with the DM, not the material, IMO. Almost anything, with enough care, can be slipped into any setting.</blockquote>
