[QUOTE="payn, post: 9346957, member: 90374"] My worries are well in the rear view on the topic. All the perceived "snowflake" issues I had were due to power seeking. For example, 3E had no dragonborn so folks wanted to be dragonkin or half dragons that came with powerful templates that threw them out of balance. Another example was drow had a write up, but they also had "noble" template which meant regular drow was never good enough for the power seeker. This has largely died away as power levels have lower gaps and/or strong design points to keep them in check. As for being unusual, I dont care if a player wants to explore that. As a GM, I try to cater to the interest of my players and provide them with opportunities. Though, if somebody goes through painstaking effort to make sure that everyone knows that their unusual character is unusual in every possible moment of every session, im going to be greatly annoyed. Your Pc is one of the main characters in a group about a story of happenings related to all of them. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
