[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 5223843, member: 424"] Nor should it be a issue. DM's game ... DM's rules. Been that way since 1974. I don't know where and when that notion came about that (maybe its from the players rights movement threads) the DM must kowtow to the will of the players in all aspects or he is doing his players a disservice. Sure, as a player you can make your case for this rule or that option or whatever to the DM but once a decision has been made on the issue by the DM, it stands. His game, his rules. I once had a new player to my Forgotten Realms game demand to play a kender. I said no and gave my reasons for disallowing kenders. The guy proceded to give every reason under the sun (some of them downright insulting of my DM abilities) why I should allow him to play a kender and that I was interfering with his 'right' to play the character he wanted. I let him bluster right up to the point I threw his arse out of my house and told him not to come back. [/QUOTE]
