[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 1981661, member: 1129"] I don't. I have enough of a library where if the player wants to use something not in a book I have, I have to have access to it to first read, understand what the player's doing, then approve it. Depends on the version. I don't have any experience with the Savage Species one but if it has hit dice like the one in Tome of Horrors, don't forget those hit dice are added to it's level adjustment for a total ECL. I personally like the new one in Races of Destiny. Big bad ugly guy with a +2 level adjustment and no racial hit dice. The Frenzied Berserker on the other hand... that's a PrC I used to great effect on an NPC who was troubled by his path of the "White Crow" where his tribe was dead and he was in mourning but he allowed himself to be killed in battle as a 'morale lesson' to another member of his tribe. I've always found that a good NPC class but poor for PC use. Nothing. He got a chance to play a really off the wall character, compared to standard ones, and I'll allow him to make a new one with a starting level 2 lower than the rest of the party. Due to the way experience points work in 3.5, he'll catch up relatively quickly. [/QUOTE]
