I think the era of 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons had it right. (not talking about the rules).

[QUOTE="PMárk, post: 6926512, member: 6804619"] I have a very simple rule for that: conversing with the GM before/after making the character and leveling up. I expect the same from my players when GMing. My opinion is that the 3e/PF system is pretty modular. A couple of feats and/or spells per character, or an archetype is not so much a material the GM couldn't keep up with, IMO. If the specific thing the player want to use uses a specific subsystem my game doesn't using, like for example sanity-specific things from PF's Horror adventures when the game isn't using the sanity rules, in that case it is simply off-limit, because without the additional system the whole thing is moot. But taking a feat from here, a spell from there, I don't see it as big a problem, especially with the PRD. In the recent 3.5 underdark game I'm playing in i made my character from literally 5 books and the GM had zero problems with that and he's a very casual one, with many other responsibilities and a little child etc. I was just upfront with my character and shared with him where i got this and that from. It's not even a low-level game, we're 7th level [I]without[/I] taking into account the more powerful races. [/QUOTE]
