[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6281686"] As a DM, I will [I]consider[/I] almost anything a player proposes. If they can come up with a solid way to achieve it and it fits with their character, I'd be willing to work with them. I also have a best friend who is totally in love with everything Drow, and we've been trying to get her to run a Drow campaign. At which point I really just connect the dots of A: being able to play a Drow. B: being able to be a sorcerer or cleric, and C: being able to take the test of Lloth and get blessed/cursed into a Drider, because ya know, my Drow love Lloth and wants to be remade in Her image (and Lloth is usually portrayed as a Drider). That aside, I love coming up with all sorts of strange concoctions for playable characters and for NPCs and templates are a [B]great[/B] way to expand the character creation and development options. They provide great non-loot incentives for PCs to engage in quests and go places they otherwise wouldn't. EX: Legend tells that a beautiful woman once came across a genie, and she wished for great power. Because genies are genies, he turned her into a Medusa. Well, she wasn't [I]that[/I] stupid and the genie was arrogant and she tricked him back and trapped the genie in stone, and guards it to this day hoping that she'll find a way to change back. Rumor has it that anyone who might free the genie would be granted a mighty boon for it's rescue. Here are two things players might otherwise not want to deal with: A powerful medusa, and a mischievous genie. But because the player wants to achieve something that cannot simply be crafted or bought, they are inclined to undertake the adventure anyway as it might be the chance for them to get that special thing they want.
