[QUOTE="slobster, post: 5916006, member: 6693711"] I find it funny we are having a debate about whether something is considered "core" or not in a thread about choices. To my knowledge, nobody from WotC inspects games to make sure that you are using everything they labelled "core". Never has anyone stopped by and told me "hmm, no playable warforged for PCs in your game . . . wait, that's in the Eberron campaign setting, you're ok. Wait, you have a chaotic neutral monk?! Did you even read the PHB? Give me your DM license!" I mean if the contention is that houseruling out alignment or race restrictions is so easy that we might as well include it (or its inverse, it's so easy to bring them in that we might as well omit them), I see it as kind of absurd to argue over the application of a simple word to books that we even more easily can use, ignore, or modify. Nothing about the designation "core" makes the rules therein harder to mess around with. The same with the words "supplement" or "optional". [/QUOTE]
