[QUOTE="robberbaron, post: 3609994, member: 14771"] I think a GM can do what he likes with the game. It's his game. Even Gaxy Gygar said users of his rulebooks could do what they liked with them (at least, I'm pretty sure that was what he meant) and if it's good enough for him... That said, there has to be a balance between a GM's rules and the needs of the players. I'm not talking about what some posters are saying, expecting a GM to handwave anything from WotC (hell, no. That is just crazytalk IMO) but giving his players enough meat to make a meal. Strip the game too far and you've just got bones to chew on and that won't be fun for anyone. Requiring the GM to explain the reasons behind his decisions is undermining the GM. If he's not being arbitrary or personal then what's the problem? IMO people who didn't vote for No. 1 just want games to suit them. They should try petitioning Blizzard to allow their pet WoW race/class combo and see how far they get. [/QUOTE]
