[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 252057, member: 552"] I'm enlisting... because of one very strange campaign I ran not too long ago. It all started with allowing one half-dragon, one half-celestial, and three 3rd level characters... and a tournament... and rewards... and a visit to the emporer... and a dead emporer... and a dead lich... Egad was I weak. Since then I have found that figuring out things before you start playing is helpful... but I guess I could be weak willed... Let me site these two PCs I allowed in previous games... keep in mind that the second character got an innate +2 base attack bonus for being born under a certain "zodiac-ish" sign, and the 1st was allowed 0.5 spells per spell level as bonus spell for being born under another "zodiac-ish" sign.
