[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 7271683, member: 5038"] Defective or Inferior? As people? I have no idea about individual player without meeting them (that goes for players of any play style). However, wrong for a given DM? If the DM does not want to play with multi-classing and feats, a player whom only will play with if multi-classing and feats are included is a wrong match for that DM. Similarly, in that instance, the DM is a wrong match for that player. I , personally, don't care about gygaxian or necessarily "modern" play styles( depending on what definition you are using to define the latter). Since AD&D 1e, I care about tailoring the rules to fit my own influences. For editions, I prefer much of AD&D 1e and early 2e classes and kits- especially, the 1e Barbarian, 2e Priests of Specific Mythoi, and Thieves (much of what has been incorporated into the rogue for 4e and 5e is a separate archetype for which I like a variant light armor fighter), as well as kits, because many of the classes and kits are closer to my own fantasy influences (not a big fan of the cleric or monk). At the same time, I prefer the 3e Sorcerer and 4e Ranger to other official D&D versions. In terms of mechanics, however, I prefer 3e, 5e, and some 4e (But still prefer 3e skill points). What I generally don't like are the majority of the new races introduced since Planescape and many of the 5e official subclasses including those previewed for Xanthar. Therefore, what I don't include reflects my own influences and tastes when I create a homebrew setting. My preference is to build setting, get players with similar tastes (has not been a problem, plus I have a long term group), have players build PC that fit into the world and cultures, and then set the players free to pretty much what they want (as long as they are not evil and and what they want to do is possible within the setting.
