Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nyaricus" data-source="post: 3132049" data-attributes="member: 35678">As the DM for my group, I purposefully go through PC creations with my players and build them the characters that they want that will fit into my campaign. So, for example, my friend Brian wanted a monk in my campaign. I said "no, no monks in my campaigns unless we're playing an oriental campaign" (this was a Forgotten Realms game, mind you - and I edit out monks and put paladins as a PrC from UA). So, I knew that there was this awesome Pugilist class I found on EN World awhile back, and proceded to ask him if this class would work for him. He said "heck yeah!". Then came race. He wanted dwarf, but I felt that that wouldn't fit very well with the pugilist class. I suggested human, he wanted something a little different. I suggested Earth Genasi (a race with a +1LA from the FRCS) and he mulled over it, not liking the +1 LA which would mess with his BAB and HP. I said "okay, well tell you what: I'll make this race LA +1, if you'll take it, since you seem to like it." He agreed. Now, we have a pummeling Earth Genasi Pugilist on our team <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />So, if (hypothetically sepaking here) player C wanted some arcane option from CA, I'd do a search of my other magic books and help him make the character he wanted, even if a bit different. Moral of the story: If a DM plans to intervene in a PCs character choices, he better be able to fix the problem he started.cheers,--N</blockquote>
