[QUOTE="HardcoreDandDGirl, post: 6399909, member: 82746"] I really just took your words at face value, I'm sorry if I misunderstood. Your right, taking 2 races and 3 or 4 classes is way more reasnoble then it sounded before... still I disagree with your thoughts, but Im really not trying to misconstrue your thoughts... not exactly that... but way back in the 90's I watched a game fall apart at character creation because the DM wanted to use an option book for building classes by point buy (Skills and power I think) and more then half the PCs didn't want to... we tried to compromise with "hey can't I just buy up the normal class" but the DM didn't want us to do that... I also brought up the Paliden thing before... so yea, I have seen something like that. now unlike the Paliden story the Option book one has a happy ending where we did play a very odd but fun ravonloft game instead (once the DM realized his prepared game would have to be put on back burner) why yes I have... when DMs are unreasonable and start to over step into being bossy sometimes there whole game falls apart... then again sometimes it doesn't I don't like outvoteing DMs, I like to talk and reason through likes and dislikes and find a game that the most amount of people could enjoy is... Lets say I made a 5e campaign and my girlfriend, and our 3 best friends were the players. Part of my idea is that it is like darksun, just with no psychics and all the magic is held by dragons (regular dragons not kings) hidden in the four corners of the world... then my PCs want to play a warlock, a cleric, a fighter (eldritch knight) and a rogue (arcane trickster) then I would reconsider my world... I mean I would say "My idea was X Y Z, but maybe we can do something else instead" edit: [MENTION=2011]KarinsDad[/MENTION] I just realized, have you only ever run 1 game and that is it? I mean you talk about how this one world must be X Y Z, but then you say things like "In my games X Y Z" maybe I'm confused, are these limits just for your current game, and you would atleast entertain the notion of changing in the next game you start?
