[QUOTE="True_Blue, post: 5374539, member: 49066"] I've never had a problem letting my players play what they want. If a player sees Legolas on tv and wants to make a PC that models him, great, thats a cool concept. If someone reads a Salvatore book and wants to make a drow scimitar wielder, thats great too, very cool concept. If someone wants to play a barbarian like Conan after watching or reading about him, awesome again! It comes off like you guys are so bitter about seeing these things before that you "just wont allow it". Because *you* have seen it before, and *you* are tired of it, these players shouldn't be able to play it. Thats actually horrible in my opinion, no offense. You literally limit character choices for someone else because *you* are bored with the concept? That just isn't any kind of logic that I follow. When my group gets together and we talk about what characters they want to make up, it doesn't even come into the conversation what I think is lame or really cool. They go through the books or character builder and build a character they would love to play and get all excited about. Some of the responses here kind of re-enforce my beliefs that I am very protective of who I play with and who to game with overall. Limiting other people on character choices just because they are bored with the concept or think its stupid, without any mechanical reason, is just kind of being a d**k in my opinion. To each their own game though. [/QUOTE]
