[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6399751, member: 2011"] Not in any group I've ever played in. The group adds input, but the DM decides. If the DM makes decisions that are so horrible that multiple players do not like it, then the game might disintegrate. But, it's still the DM making the decisions. As a DM, I wouldn't let some entitled person dictate to me what happens in my campaign. One cannot force compromise on anyone, but especially the DM. He's the one doing most of the work and setting up the campaign. Then you would walk out of my game. I do not include Dragonborn, Tieflings, the Assassins subclass, and two of the Warlock patrons. I like running heroic fantasy, not entitled to do whatever I want evil/monstrous PC fantasy. I do not allow something like 15% of the races/subraces and 10% of the subclasses and if that is too restrictive for a certain person, I do not want that whiny self important/entitled person in my game. People who are not willing to even try a game, join in and then soon complain or walk out of the game are people I'm not particularly interested in gaming with. I'll hear them out too. But I might not allow it anyway. If someone gets offended that the DM did not allow something, then again, that's a person I'm not particularly interested in gaming with. [/QUOTE]
