[QUOTE="TheSeer, post: 3785623, member: 55695"] I am a current RPGA member. It's not all I play, but one of our DMs likes it so for his campaign (of which we have 3) we are using the RPGA rules.

Restricting certain classes, feats, spells, etc. because it is thought using those would provide an unbalancing effect on campaigns (so I was told if there is another reason, please don't flame, explain ;) So that the majority of RPGA members seem to have the mindset that less is more, rapid levelling is unknown of as xp is doled out in precise chunks and even level advancement is capped *below* what is stated in the PHB. This does not bode well for rules that seem to be about opening restrictions, rapid advancement and levelling up to what was formally consider to be almost double what the maximum they mandated was. i worry that all of these rules would be given short shrift as being excesive where someone not in RPGA would consider them as being just right.
