[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2697985, member: 2011"] I think that you are totally entitled to this opinion. Where we might diverge is that I think that regardless of whether I as a DM feel blah about a PrC, if one of my players is excited to play that PrC and I see no reason to think that the PrC is imbalanced or broken in any way or totally divergent from the campaign (e.g. wanting to play an arcane caster in a campaign that is specifically set up to have no arcane casters), I will totally support my player in his decision to play that PrC. DMs who attempt to dictate what players can and cannot play when there is no solid campaign reason for it (in this case, the class is blah to you), leave me with a blah feeling deep, deep within my soul. DMs who do this are proclaiming that their fun is more important than the fun of the player. IMO. To me, the game is meant to be fun for everyone involved and if it is fun for a given player to play a given class / PrC, I let them do it (again, shy of it being broken). Almost every campaign we have ever played, I have had a player play a character that I find uninteresting (or off the wall) and I would never play such a character myself. But, it is fun for that player, so I go with it and as DM, try to be enthusiastic and fair about that character. [/QUOTE]
