[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9280468, member: 7006"] On the face of it I'd have no issues playing 5.1 SRD only, just like I'd have no problems playing Basic Rules either if that's what the DM wanted to run and had a cool reason why. My main initial question though to the DM before starting would be why they are making the restriction? Is there a campaign or story reason why only those choices were being offered? Is it just a money situation where the DM only owns the downloadable SRD and doesn't want to buy the PHB? Because honestly I have to imagine that whatever campaign idea the DM has come up with, there are probably more applicable subclasses for said campaign than the baseline ones in the SRD. And given the choice I'd much rather choose and play one that fits the world we are campaigning in and the advancement of who my character is becoming than just taking the arbitrary single SRD choice if there isn't a firm reason why that it all that is available. Give me a creative (or financial) reason why the SRD is the only option and I'd be happy to go along with it. But if the response is something just like "Ah, I can't be bothered with other stuff..." that tells me more about the kind of DM that person is and I might be less inclined to get involved in a long-term campaign they want to run.
