[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8569992, member: 93670"] I'd agree with you but that's not what was being discussed. Getting to demand the gm change the rules they have set for a particular game is what makes it so. I'd the gm says that everyone needs to play a warforged pc for a campaign intended to dive into the struggle between the newly but not quite free warforged & meat races in brelsnd that's the game he's going to be running. If you show up with a lender from Dragonlance demanding to explore your innocents with the shield of old school absolute morality or complain that the gm is forcing you to play a character that you don't want to you are showing profound entitlement. Thdt unreasonable entitlement is even worse if you do so while ignoring the character creation rules the gm has said exist for the game you are welcome to not play in because you are instead playing your lawful good lender at a tsvle with some other gm that fits the character you wanted to play but could not at the table of the gm running a restrictive warforged only game. Remember this all started because someone asked why a gm might say roll stats in order and expect players to play the resulting characters when I have a hypothetical answer about how it pushes them out of their comfort zone. It's not why can't I use chsrgen rules like that, it's how dare you force players to play a game they agreed to [/QUOTE]
