Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zardnaar" data-source="post: 7338009" data-attributes="member: 6716779">I have posted here before about restrictions used to define something like a setting, theme or vibe of a campaign. This has usually been hypothetical as my players do not tend to pick things I do not like and still tend to treat Paladins for example as LG. Taking feedback on these forums into account (yes I do listen lol) a poster suggested that if you remove something replace it with something else. My campaign is going to be more or an age of antiquity type game with things like fantasy Egypt/Rome/Greece floating around with roughly dark age levels of technology. A few anachronisms are fine but a lot of the best equipment for example will not be available.Ye Olde Restrictions (tm).Allowed PHB RacesDwarfHumanElfHalflingNew Races Allowed AasimarAlseidCentaurDragonkinDustgoblinGnollKenkuKijaniJinnbornLizardfolkMinotaurRavenfolkTabaxiTrollkinWerelion I normally do not allow anthromorphic races into the game. Technology Restrictions (Unavailable for sale in most places, such things do exist, go find them)Weapons. Rapiers, Greatswords, Greataxe, Longbow, hand crossbows, most polearms (except pike), Armor: Anything better than Breastplate/Chainmail. Lorica Segmenta (banded mail) does exist (refluffed half plate). Some of the restricted stuff is easier to get than others. Longbows for example can be bought locally, its just those places are rare. Full plate has to be found in ancient ruins. Chainmail and Breastplate are more common as magical armor than leather/studded leather.All races start with a bonus feat. Variant humans get two. You may not select the following feats as the bonus feat: Healer, Great Weapon Master, Polearm Master, Resilient, Sharpshooter, Shieldmaster, Warcaster You may select feats from this source as well.<a href="http://www.dmsguild.com/product/185763/10-New-Feats-for-5th-Edition-DD" target="_blank">http://www.dmsguild.com/product/185763/10-New-Feats-for-5th-Edition-DD</a>  So basically the most offensive weapons for the -5/+10 feats basically do not exist or are hard to get, the default weapons are spears and short swords for the most part. Magical versions of the most common armors and weapons are sort of treated as 1 level lower in terms of rarity so a +2 short sword for example is more common than the default, a +1 Greatsword is rarer than the default. Most cultures can't forge those weapons or they have not been invented yet. If you are willing to travel some items can be found for the PHB price.</blockquote>
