However, if all that were not the case the only real restriction I would have is Campaign Setting; and even then I can get creative and find a place for stuff.  I have a Ptolus campaign right now that has a 1st level ninja from the southern continent, she was on her way to Ptolus with her master for reasons she doesn't know. We don't call her a "ninja" and have come up with a back story of a kind of cultic spy organization that trained her.  Ninjas wouldn't seem to fit in Ptolus, we figured out a way.  The only real restrictions then would come if I had a very specific campaign idea in mind and needed for their to be no PC versions of X.  For example, I once planned a campaign where Elves were the evil race adn thus no PC  could be an elf or half-elf.  I'm all for letting the player's choose what they want as long as it can be played at the level the campaign starts, but then I have never had anyone in my game who could or would abuse that.</blockquote>
