If you don't want to have to ban anything, just play Basic D&D from the PDF. Or play a game with crazy wild mages. <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=":)" /> Also, and I don't believe this has been clear enough for you yet, you should stop considering the PHB to be a core book. It isn't. It won't be. That's not what they're doing. If you want it to be, you will be disappointed. It is like considering your dog to be Pope Innocent II. Your consideration doesn't match up with the reality of the situation that your dog had no quarrel with the archbishop of Bourges, and that the PHB is looking to be a book of player-oriented modules. You're free to spend your money however you want, but if you're only going to spend your money on something that perfectly matches the rules you personally play with, I don't think it'll be possible for any game to liberate that money from your hands, since you do not play the same kind of D&D that everyone else all over the world plays. Like everyone else, you play your particular version of the game. So I hope you enjoy your newfound wealth! <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>
