If something is clarified in the FAQ, then I go with that. I trust all of my players and know that they won't "OMGBRAKTMYGAME!!!ONE" I've never been in a game where I've seen this happen. I'm honestly surprised that people have been in games where the players purposely create ridiculous characters. I'm starting to believe, though, that that's not the case. Very rarely will I read, "Here is EXACTLY how the character was BETTER than everyone else." Instead, it's usually people reading a class and coming up with everything that they can about it. THAT'S what people have problems with. The possibilities. The new things that can be done. It's not that they've seen the cleric show up everyone else. It's that they've heard about it being done. It's not that they've seen anything from the Bo9S be abused. It's that the words on the paper made them FEARFUL. If you're afraid to run the freaking game, maybe you should try something else.Now, if it's a case of "Here are the things that are different in my campaign world." that's fine. I can see restricting things. My only restrictions are as follows:1. At first level, no LA characters. Duh. After that, sure. BUT, it has to meet the second requirement.2. Give me a reason for it. I play Eberron, and one of my players wanted a Raptoran. For a game that takes place mostly in Breland, how does a Raptoran from Xen'drik feel comfortable always walking on the ground?He went with a Catfolk Druid that uses the alternate shapeshifting rules from the PHB2. He's now a 2nd level Druid. This character works out a lot better than his Changeling Ninja did. Especially with the 36 point buy I decided to do instead of rolling. They're not use to stats this low. He's no better than the Dragonborn Favored Soul or the Half-elf Beguiler or Half-orc Fighter. All that I need to do is use the same rules for what I make as they use to create. Nothing is broken.</blockquote>
