[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 5274179, member: 5890"] I find that the easiest way to restrict the presence of wierd races is a combination of the following 1. Simply don't present them as options. This works for players who are new to the game, and also to players who are new to your setting. 2. Present wierd races as wierd in your setting. This covers players who are experienced with your setting. Throw in roleplaying negatives and don't feel you need to balance them with anything. That pretty much leaves people who don't care about the setting of a game when they make a character, and they can be covered easily by presenting them with the effects of the second point: your character is wierd, and will likely suffer for it. Finally, I wouldn't restrict races by "number in the party". If anything I feel it makes MORE sense that you would find 2 of a wierd race together than to find one in a mixed adventuring party.
