[QUOTE="Psion, post: 1929614, member: 172"] Whether its allowed and whether it's prudent to make for an enjoyable gaming experience are two entirely different considerations. Were we to take some boastful posters early in this thread as examples of GMs, I would say your faith is misplaced. I see more concern about smacking down players and showing them who is boss than balancing, much less trying to accomodate players and work their concepts into the game. Which is an entirely different case than that which prompted my response. I was replying to a person who was bragging about how he denies [i]any[/i] prestige classes. That's a different matter than preventing a character who you would have good reason to suspect was not built with roleplaying in mind. Since your statement seems designed to incite, you should not be surprised if someone did. That said, I see little reason to argue about it. If you wish to judge the imagination of others on such a vacuous criteria, I don't imagine I'll be able to disabuse you of it. But this is just a game, and plenty of us out there will survive having our imagination thought so little of by you, and have more fun in so doing. [/QUOTE]
