[QUOTE="redrick, post: 7332689, member: 6777696"] Welcome to the game! It doesn't have to be a debate. Tell your DM why you want to use the combination, and they will let you know where they stand on it. I would just run it by them before you build the character or get too attached to the idea, because they might have a reason they don't want to go there. Personally, as a DM, I want to work with the players to come up with something that is fun for everybody, but when a player shows up with a fully built character that uses some questionable interpretations or unofficial content to achieve an exploit, I get a little irritated. On the other hand, if the player brings it up early on, I'm much more likely to roll with it, or maybe suggest a change or a concern, or ask the player if they are cool if we see how it works but possibly revisit after a few sessions if it's not firing right, or whatever. I should also add that, hopefully, this isn't about a power trip from your DM.
