[QUOTE="Chaltab, post: 6335186, member: 6775806"] If that really bothers you that bad then honestly, get over it. If your concept of Druid requires all other Druids in the campaign to share your alignment then you're being unreasonble. The DM is not telling you your character is invalid; the DM is telling you that your Druid's tradition is not the only Druid tradition in his world. If that is intolerable to you as a player then either get thicker skin or find another group. None of this is even a coherent argument as to why this needs to be supported in the core rules. "I would feel personally slighted if a DM didn't run the campaign to my specifications." Is not really a premise that you can take to the conclusion "Therefore my specifications should be the default rules for the game." If you want Paladins = Lawful Good to be regarded as something worthy of encoding into the base rules, then you need to come up with an argument for the merits of the rule based on other than preference. And? Either compromise or leave the campaign. Nobody is forcing you to continue. Something that out-there is not likely to be without controversy anyway if your players weren't expecting it, so if you have a reasonable DM you can probably talk it out like adults. It does. It includes both positions by leaving it entirely in the hands of the DM. If you want alignment restrictions, implement them as a house rule. If the majority of the players and/or the DM doesn't want them and you do, suck it up and deal. If your players are new and don't give a flying fig about tradition, then insisting upon that tradition is just going to annoy them. [/QUOTE]
