[QUOTE="Sodalis, post: 98964, member: 1791"] I DM a game where I allowed all sorts of races to play. i found that most people would prefer to use human (bonus feat and skill pt) over any other race. I think the problem was that theyw ere sacred of dealign with special abilities of the other races. where they would just have to play the char as they would act... I feel that in a world filled with magic and wonder, an all- human kingdom is a rarity. There has to be other races, be it minotaurs, gargoyles, and liches, or just the core races- they have to be in abundance. But I do understand that having a player come up with these outrageous half everythings can be cumbersome- especiallyf or a DM that has to keep track of all this. With a lot of the wacky races allowed, I usually ban the half templates. For some reason, a half dragon, fiend is such a rare occurance that I would like to reserve that character for an NPC. i can do alot more than a player is willing to. I can make him a wiz/ftr/clr/rog/necromancer...whereas a player will just take cleric. but a player playing a certain race is completely fine by me. the halfies are what bothers me... but of course taht was the problem to start with wasn't it? :D :D :D [/QUOTE]
