Yet he encouraged people to play non-traditional concepts.One of his favorite stories was of the time a druid turned into a duck and flew into a well to escape from a big bad (the minions poured soap into to well to make her sink and thereby captured her anyway, but he loved that player's creativity so much that he still tells that story to this day).Admittedly, nowadays he's relaxed a bit and allows feats and probably multiclassing too in the 5e game he's running. But if he said he was running a no feats / no multiclassing game, we'd still play. I'd rather have feats and multiclassing because after playing D&D for close to 30 years (20 of those years being weekly game sessions) playing vanilla can feel... a bit vanilla. But I'm certainly not going to make a stink about it if that's what the DM feels like doing. The point is, if you haven't found a DM whose style matches your preferred play style, then that's unfortunate but dollars to donuts those DMs are out there. It may be theory in your own personal experience, but that doesn't mean it is theoretical with respect to the RPG community.</blockquote>
