[QUOTE="HardcoreDandDGirl, post: 6399839, member: 82746"] your the unreasonable one if you think I need to read through 100 class/race options that are disallowed before saying "Can I play X" and even more so if you think 100 is a small number 20%ish or play with the DMs who are willing to work with players... well I have DMed I play a lot more, and I still see DMs as just another player... did you read what your wrote... DMs make rules players can vote with there feet... maybe the player would love to hide in the shadows in towns and 'let there guard down' in the wilds... then why can't they ask for a change in your rules? the DM has as much authority as the players give him... but you made your final ruling before meeting your next player... so can they try to talk you out of it? you... entirely you... I have never said "Here is my ruleing if you don't like it walk" I am WAY more likely to say "Ok, if not x how about Y" how could you listen when your mind was made up about some races/classes before meeting your next player... you can't even imagine one would say "Let me pitch you this Dragon born" and you would give him or her a fair shot... you just want to say "No Dragon born" then you go on to say "But 100 things are already no" I've never meet one... but then again I normaly say things like "Not normally, but whats your idea" and/or "You know what I like the idea but maybe we can tweak it to make it fit" not "No dragonborn no way no how" [/QUOTE]
