[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6399881, member: 9037"] prosfilaes well you know if a DM wants to make a race a monster race that is their right to do so under rule 0. It maybe frustrating to you but that does not mean it is frustrating to everyone. The trick is finding groups that work with your playstyle. Who said anyone was a bad person? What I am saying is if you don't like playing with a DM who believes this then you as the player should find a DM who is more to your liking. The DM is not a bad person for running his game the way he wants. Are players so insecure that they can only have fun if they they play their pet ideas. See how easy it is to make blanket statements like that. No player is obligated to play with a DM and a DM is not obligated to play with a player. And both should behave in a mature fashion over it. Mistwell I can understand your frustration over that but I can't see a way around it. There are times any new material may conflict with what you are doing at the table already. I think the only way to handle it is to ignore it for the campaign you are running. And then decide how or if you want to add it later. [/QUOTE]
