[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7860218, member: 6895991"] Yep, I absolutely do. In my greyhawk campaign pc can play humans and halfhumans. So halfelves halforcs tieflings(of devlish ancestry) and gnomes (humans of half height :p). Since I did put the techlevel into renaissance I wanted to have dwarves and elves to be few and secluded NPC only and halflings are more tolkienesqe, basically peaceful farmerfolk not suited to adventure. The halforcs and halfelves and tieflings are mostly byproducts of the long waging war in my campaign, and I had everyone in the group start out being a refugee from this war. All of these grew up in human society so they are relatively accepted. On the other hand drow would be considered and treated as monsters, and dragonborn do not exist in my version of greyhawk. My players mostly prefer to play human so I got these in my group and one gnome and one halfelf. So there is that. Classes are also limited, no sorcerers no barbarians. Although there are barbarian cultures around still, the player would not descend from them. Sorcerers weren't part of the blue box which I took as a baseline. Paladins only the LG variant (of Heironeous), Clerics of several of the greyhawk pantheon, but according to their race (Kord for HO, Ulaa for gnome e.g.) Druids would be Ohbad Hai, Nature Clerics Beory. I also do only allow 2e conform race class combos. When it comes to D&D then at least for some of the campaign settings I love archetypes and I loathe diversity , for Eberron I would handle this differently. [/QUOTE]
