This sounds absolutely fair to me.The first type would be equivalent to a character in a modern setting who hates all technology and has sworn not to use it. He won't drive or ride in a car, so the party takes forever to get anywhere. He won't use a gun or any modern weapon, so he's no good in a gunfight. When he does get shot, he won't submit to any modern medicine, so the party twiddles their thumbs for a few weeks while his wounds heal. That does not sound like a very effective modern adventurer to me, and I don't think his fantasy equivalent would do any better.I have no sympathy for that type. If you turn your back onto everything that makes life easy in your world, then you should not expect to have an easy life.The other type would be a character who is willing to use technology to destroy technology. E.g., Bad Scientists are doing Bad Experiments, so he will turn a Bad Gun to a good purpose by killing scientists with it. This guy may be a hypocrite (and also a nutbar), but it seems like he'd be a lot more useful to an adventuring party.</blockquote>
