[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8575540, member: 6855114"] If I gave the impression that I was upset with you, I am truly sorry. No the problem has and always has been a player imposing his view with to a table. But I do agree with others that today, this kind of behaviour is not desirable but it is often hidden under the veil of "creativity" and as soon as that veil is invoked, it becomes a trope in which if the DM says no, he is bad. It is not true. Creativity is good, but a DM is perfectly within his right to restrict choices. Just as a player can try to explain and improve on his idea and change it and make it evolve into something that becomes within the restriction while being outside. Sometimes, it is just a matter of presentation. But if a player insist and that is refused, rarely will you hear that player says that he failed to convince the DM and the table. You will hear that HIS creativity has been restrained and shut down by the DM. [/QUOTE]
