[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 2049304, member: 1465"] Just one thing coming to my mind... I don't know about the recent books, but many PrCls flavor text seems to hint too much that there are necessary hundreds of characters with that PrCl, by saying things like "humans, elves and half-elves are the most likely to become (e.g.) Mindbenders, but other races are also common. Only halfling are almost unheard of." I think this sort of lines give players the impression that "almost unheard" means that after all they are NOT unheard, so there must be a few; therefore the "common" are more than that, and the "likely" must be plently around. I wouldn't be surprised if a DM would be irritated because he's thinking that if she allows the Mindbenders, then there is automatically the Mindbender Society spread around the continent, etc etc, and allowing 50 PrCls forces her to make up 50 organizations. But why couldn't a fantasy world have ONE ONLY Mindbender? [/QUOTE]
