I don't agree that playing a concept I want to play is entitlement. RPGs are a type of entertainment and the player should have a say in it. Would you watch a Netflix like service where you have no control on what show you watch? You turn it on to watch the next episode of Stranger Things and it decides you can only watch Gilmore Girls? No. You want to watch what you want to watch. Time is too short to let dice determine if you're going to be a paladin or not. Besides: the longer I played the more me and my DMs cheated the chargen rules anyway, either the DM allowing a player to raise his highest score to the minimum anyway or the player "magically" rolling the exact scores they needed for the class and race they wanted to play. If you want to pick a fight over players wanting options not normally allowed in a setting or but the DM, you might have a conversation worth exploring. But "you didn't roll a 16 dex, so no gnome illusionist for you!" is a relic of the game that can rot with level limits and strength capped by gender.</blockquote>
