We(see below) usually have the player try to role play it out. If they are good enough then often we don't require a roll. Or if we do its a modifed DC. If its a tough situation or the player doesn't want to give input(role play), then it becomes a straight roll usually with a higher DC.We, I see gaming as a group task. Yes when I am GM I am open to many inputs, from PrCs to rule calls. I do have last word, but I try to take input. I do have a fairly defined world but there are spots which are not defined, so if a player comes to ask me for something special, first I need a copy, then I see how it fits into my world. If I can fit it in, I usually ask the player to write up a very detailed background to fit it in, since it is non-normal. I usally plop this new culture down somewhere then and that defines that area. In a few games I have played where the GM was "GOD". We had no input other than our actions and often we ended up railroad. These were some of the worst games I played in. And if I didn't quit, it was only because I was friends with them out of game.As a player I hate to say I am one of the worst at introducing new materials. I buy a lot of splat books, mainly as sources for my worlds and games. And I like to play the strange and unusual. But I fully undestand if the GM won't allow a PrC and/or needs to modify it. Happens often.</blockquote>
