I do, however, also limit race selections based on campaign setting.  If my setting has no elves, there will be no elves or half elves.  If I'm running Humans Only, then Humans Only it shall be.If, OTOH, I'm running a wide open game, unless I think its a seriously bad idea, I let what I posted first in this thread be the sole control.</blockquote>
