[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 2647969, member: 939"] No, core-only means the three core rulebooks, which include the PHB, DMG, and MM. They are, after all, ALL core rulebooks. Again, what you desccribe is something less than core-only, because you exclude the DMG, a core rulebook. Look, there's nothing wrong with that, nor am I trying to imply there is. I'm simply saying that I think the terminology is misleading if you call something just "core-only" with no further descriptor where there are actually core rules excluded. Sort of like if I said I was running a campaign that I described as "all wizards books are fair game" and then someone joined up and played until reaching fifth level, at which point they asked about taking a PrC from a wizard's supplement, and then I told them 'no, you can't take that - no PrC' - I would think they'd be rather shocked, based on the description I had given of my campaign. A non-misleading descriptor would be 'all wizards books, minus all PrC' [/QUOTE]
