[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3504477, member: 35788"] Best advice I can give you: Decide before the campaign begins what is fair game and stick to your guns. I used to run a few PbPs here at ENWorld. I'd always post a listing of books allowed. {I typically just allow a whole book if I allow it at all just to save confusion in a PbP} Innevitably, I'd always have a few posters chime in with their character idea from a book that I didn't allow in my clearly accessible listing. My answer was always firm: I'm sorry, that is not on the approved sources list. Please resubmit an idea if you would like to be considered. On the flipside, if an idea is in an approved source and not specifically disallowed, then let it fly for the length of the campaign. If it is broken, you know to not allow it next time. Additionally, I have a listing on LA +1 or LA +2 races that I intentionally nerfed to LA +0 races so that players who want to play different races but didn't want the LA wouldn't need to worry about it. Given that it is a list of my own generation, those races are ones I allow in game. Regarding the player who wants to play an LA: -- race, unless it was a one-shot I'd simply say that it wasn't allowed. The sourcebooks allowed indicate that this race is not meant for PC play. If it was a one-shot, however, I might allow it. I can go along with almost anything for one night so long as everyone is having fun. [/QUOTE]
