[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8717895, member: 6987520"] The DM has sole discretion as far as I am concerned in the game they run. If they feel an advantage (combo, synergy, etc.) is unbalanced or whatever and have excluded it from their game, I am happy to abide by that decision. IMO, the DM does not "ask", they "tell". Now, if it comes up and after the fact they feel it is out-of-bounds, I will still abide by the decision and I do not consider it ruining my fun. After all, if the DM decides such a thing does not exist in their game and house-rules it accordingly, I don't consider that a red line because at that point the advantage no longer exists. But, if the advantages exist (and the DM hasn't chosen to remove them), I will pursue them as long as doing so is within my character's persona. Not at all! I [I]PLAY[/I] my character and its concept according to how I believe it should be played! If the PC will "do anything" then I play them that way, if the PC has limits, I play them that way. You might not see the distinction the same way I do, however. My characters are like characters on the stage, they have a set of rules about them, and I keep within character as much as possible.
