[QUOTE="billd91, post: 8259480, member: 3400"] This is where someone might look at your list and wonder if there's some cynicism at work. You don't want a common fantasy trope (magic that enchants or manipulates the will) used against the PCs (or specifically [B]your [/B]PC) but are OK with using it. If I had a player coming to me with that, then I'd be wondering about their commitment to the principles of free will/control rather than fair play in a game and be tempted to take it right off the list of PC abilities as well so that it's never a question [B]at all, for anybody[/B]. If I'm going to incorporating players' lists of topics off the table or veiled, I'm going to work toward some reciprocity in order to keep some level of fairness in the game's ground rules, particularly if the topics are thematic to the game system or how the game system plays. If there's an objection to mind control, [B]all [/B]variations on it go. I suppose the nutshell version of this is - I'm OK with removing something that genuinely squicks you out as a thing in general, I'm a lot more skeptical if you want to keep yourself from being targeted by something you're OK with inflicting on someone else.
