[QUOTE="HardcoreDandDGirl, post: 6398915, member: 82746"] you don't see a problem with the fact that you singled out the DM as end all be all ? you don't see where it create conflict at all? and has in every edition, but the basic social contract is still the same... "don't be a jerk" should be the real rule 0 wait... what?!?!?! but the DM does... what if I DM, does that then give me the right to enforce my wants on someone else?!?!?! and this creates CONFLICT.... see there is the problem. really? few and far between says who? where is the study that shows this? heck I bet atleast 10-20% of enworld arguments are based in this "few and far between" "Corner case" the problem with putting out books full of classes and feats, then no one letting you play them is if no one lets you play them why buy them. if you don't but them then why would wotc put them out? just look at warblade from Bo9S... it is a fighter with more tactical options that falls far short of 3/4 the PHB for power... but it is fun and more powerful then a PHB fighter. From a flavor in world stand point it is no different then fighter or ranger or paliden. from a power level it is still far less then a core only cleric, wizard or druid. Yet the top two reasons given even on these boards for disallowing that class is "Bo9S is over powered" and "It doesn't fit my world" both are basicly excuses for "I said so".... so why not say "Because I said so" maybe because that breed conflict and makes you look like a jerk... hiding behind an excuse only gets you so far. I also have to laugh that my very basic examples "Half elf warlock" "Human Sword sage" are corner cases compare to what I responded to [/QUOTE]
