[QUOTE="KiloGex, post: 5717288, member: 6673263"] I am right with you on this one! I run into this problem almost every single campaign, and in fact am going through it right now. In a very low-magic scenario where the humans are very suspect of foreign threats I have a player who is pushing to play a Fetchling! Now, I don't like to outright deny my players so I give them a fighting chance to argue their point. I ask "what about his yellow eyes?" to which he responds that his character will be "sensative to light" and need to wear goggles. "What about the fact that you have white skin?" where he comes back with "people can be pale, plus it goes with his light sensativity. He doesn't like the sun" and when I bring up that this level of pale would be suspect he claims that he'll just wear a cloak. To say the least, this is not happening. I also cannot stand players that don't use their class. An alchemist who refuses to use her alchemy in combat because she's afraid of the splash damage, a paladin who refuses to engage in melee combat, a necromancer who hates casting spells and instead only uses a crossbow in combat. What's the point? [/QUOTE]
