[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 9346893, member: 11"] Exactly. I technically had no tieflings or tabaxi as player options in my current setting, which is humanocentric. But I have one player who in our first game together wanted to play a tiefling! And in the second? A tabaxi. Did I say no? Nope. I said, "You can play those, but you have to understand that you will be an outlier or foreigner that many folks may find strange or curious or scary." Clearly, this worked for her because not only did she agree to it again, but has complained to me more than once that I am not remembering to have people react to her as "a weird cat-person" as often anymore (and she is right - I told her, to assume she is getting strange looks and long stares from some people and that when the attitude matters to a scene, I will be sure to play it up - that way I don't have to always be taking spotlight away from other PCs and events just to mention it).
