This point isn't black and white.B) Players have to please a DM to some extent, but the DM has to please players as well. I would say the DM has to try harder than the players to please the other party.C) As long as crash-landed space marines aren't Core, this point is too far removed from the norm to be valid.Personally, I think Dwarves are a dumb, cliche, single-character race. I've considered ruling them out of games, but then I decided that it wasn't worth it. If nobody wants to play a Dwarf then I'm being a hardass for no reason. On the other hand, if someone does want to play a dwarf then I'm making them that much less happy to play the game. I think the tradeoff for this kind of restriction just isn't worth it unless the race clashes with something fundamental.In a point buy system all the stat bonuses are useful, because I can use the points I would have spent putting CHA at 10 to raise STR or whatever. Honestly, I think humans are getting the shaft.</blockquote>
