Message: <blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 1152787" data-attributes="member: 1465">I have never imposed any hard limit to the players, and let them choose from the PHB freely. But obviously if I were running some special campaign, we may decide to have a party of all elves, all LG or all sorcerers, and I think it would be interesting.I do anyway try to stress the players about the fact that, while every combination is possible, some must be ecceedingly rare. Monks are coming from very far away, so I dislike having more than one per campaign (I dislike but at the end I don't think I would disallow). Half-Orc Monks should be one-in-a-million, since Monks are rare, Half-Orcs are rare, so HOM must be rare squared. Fortunately, I haven't found players who disagree completely, so I haven't had problems and never needed to put limits.Evil characters are a completely different subject. I never forbid them, but they are more difficult to play than good or neutral, and mixed evil/good parties are very difficult for unexperienced players. I want the players to play their alignment correctly (although I consider different levels of evil, a CE doesn't necessarily mean a mindless destroying machine, it could be very selfish with little care for others' life and strongly oppose order and laws without being a serial-killer), and I know that unexperienced players playing evil PCs in a mixed group either go too overboard and disrupt the whole game or otherwise just regrets their choice and basically play neutral.</blockquote>
