Write up your own dryads. Nothing stops you from saying chromatic dragons are evil. Just, you know, say they're evil. Nothing stops you from enforcing lawful goodness from paladin players either. Saying, "You must play a paladin as lawful good," does not affect the mechanics of the system in any way, shape, form or otherwise. No rule says you can't have gnomes as a player race, and in fact it has been stated that there will be assistance to do so provided in the MM. Bards are coming out in PHB2 and there will be, no doubt, a plethora of player created bards once the game comes out if you can't be bothered making your own. And there is no rule that requires the use of the planes as written in the flavour text (that we know of, admittedly).Everything you have said so far is unsupported and, in fact, the opposite of what you're saying is supported by the available evidence.Give an example of one of the known rules that prevents you from running your game the way you want to. And by rules I mean something hard-wired into the mechanics of the system, not some arbitrary, "The planes don't use the Great Wheel cosmology," which can be entirely circumvented in any way you choose without any effect on the mechanics whatsoever.So far all I'm seeing from your arguments is a, "4e ruins roleplaying!" mentality.</blockquote>
