[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6926298, member: 6716779"] I'm being blunt and Drow do not belong on Darksun for obvious reasons. Its like you want to run an evil campaign and someone wants to be a Paladin (in earlier editions). Its part of the social contract. Asking to play a Drow on Faerun or Eberron fair enough. I expect a basic level of teamwork. This means not deliberately gimping yourself and not screwing over the pother party members (stealing from them, fire balling them etc). D&D is a team based game in all editions and each class more or less has a job to do. Clerics cast spells, heal, beat face, wizards cast spells, fighter hit things with sticks. And that is a big thing now for us as I have seen a few pumpkins recently in various groups. Z's main rule in D&D. "The enjoyment of the game for any player is ideal but that enjoyment can not come at the expense of other players". And if you build a gimped character and other people die because of it (and yes I have seen this happen twice in 5Es run), that player will rapidly find themselves out of my group. Hitting someone for 1d6+1 damage is really kind of bad and in LMoP we had a TPK because we had 2 PCs that were built "wrong" with a 12 and 14 in their prime stats and other random crap. Low ACs and 1d6+1 damage does that to a group when you have several pumpkins doing it. [/QUOTE]
