[QUOTE="Barak, post: 1381110, member: 3028"] Ahhhh see, new information makes the whole thing comes into a new light. From your earlier posts, the only thing I could see is that some PrCs existed as published in your world, some didn't, and the players had no way of knowing which was which. In other words, those decisions were made by you way before the players showed up at the table (during the "creation of the world"), and the players simply had to flounder around, trying to fit in. This would be similar (although to a lesser degree) as allowing a ranger to take "gnolls" as a favored enemy, only to -then- tell him there was only one gnoll in your whole Game World (with a smirk). And -that- is where I got the "confrontational" DM thing, as in "I screwed you! Haha!" With more information as to how you do things, obviously it's not that way. You want players to just do their thing, and will try to accomodate them with options that suits their characters. Very different. But I've -seen- the other type of DM, which is why the possibility of it existing wasn't out of the question. [/QUOTE]
