[QUOTE="RuminDange, post: 1391825, member: 5412"] I allow other stuff form other books only after I have either had time to read over it by borrowing thier book or I own the book myself. Either way the book must be present during game play in case I have a question about thier abilities. As a side note, I too don't allow everything in my campaign just because it is in a book we as a group own, but I'm usually open to at least looking over things. Also keep in mind that a lot of stuff is duplicated in other WOTC books, perfect example I have a player (a Paragon elf/Ftr/Soc/bladesinger) looking for another class to take to help solidify his character's direction, more in the fighting direction instead of magic now and over the last couple of months he kept wanting to take the "BladeMaster" prestige class from the Wheel of Time source book. After our last game night, He was talking to my wife (also a player) and telling her about the class and she was trying to help him decide on what to do. Now I have read the class months ago and it didn't dawn on me then, but it hit her as she started reading the description in the WoT book. She was like "I've read this before", sure enough in the Sword and Fist splat book. The BladeMaster is nothing more than the Weapon Master prestige class from Sword and Fist gloried with pretty names for the abilities and detailed for use with a sword. But all the abilities are the same. RD [/QUOTE]
