I even encourage the creation of custom spells and PrCs to let players flesh out their chars as best as they can to their wishes.In the end its all about players not abusing things and wanting to keep it fun. If one player gets ahead of the rest by far its never fun and it ruins the game for themselves as well, they learned that by now. I kinda allow everything but in open dialogue with my players that they do it for fun and for their PC idea, not to abuse it for power mostly and they are handling it very well. If things turn out to be abused or overpowered I act on it and change some things, but at first I'm open to try out any thing they come up with as long as its not something overly munchkin or somthing.If all players decide to take the power route... I even like that. Grants me the possibility to come up with powerfull NPCs and monsters myself and introduce wicked enemy strategies and spell combos. The more power play the players choose the more I up the power level, challenge and risk involved. I have absolutely no problem with that at all. DMs that have problems with PrCs and custom stuff aren't in control of their game and in dialogue with their players about what they actually would like in the game. As long as its all done in open discussion and not with abuse in mind its all good with me and if players wanna up the power level, sure, goes for the rest of the game and challenges then to which just gives me more options to play myself <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.So I don't really see any problems with PrCs or certain custom stuff, just do it together and introduce those things with the right mindset. They have just increased the enjoyment of the game for me and my players, everyone takes a PrC every game for the last few years with me except a guy who hardcores his cleric. Worked out fine <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
