[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5258182, member: 1210"] A good approach to the "I don't have that splatbook" problem is to vet any feature that a pc wants to take individually before allowing it. For instance, in 3e I didn't have Dragon Magic or any of the Races of... books, but if a player had wanted to take a feat from one of them, I'd have allowed it or not after reading it. Then I'd want a copy of it on hand in case I need it- again, someone has to own the book, and if you're the one using it, it better be you, because if you don't have it and the guy who does is missing I'm going to have to wing rulings and I'll "assume the worst" in this case (responsibility is on the player to have the material). Obviously, the best way to handle this is to make a copy of the feat or whatever and give it to me so that I have it at hand as needed. That said, fewer options certainly speed things up if nothing else. [/QUOTE]
