[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6404847, member: 9037"] HussarI don't recall anyone saying that it was unsuitable to reskin or try and compromise with players. What is being said is this if you can't find a compromise then the DM has the final say and if the player is not happy with that he needs to decide can he play in this game and if he can't then he needs to find a game more suited to what he wants. In the Pathfinder game the DM went to the Pazio boards to ask for help in reskinning the gunslinger as a wand wielder using the wizard or sorcerer as the base class. The player didn't really like that so she came up with the idea of a rogue using two hand crossbows. He didn't like that either because the damage on crossbows is to low in his opinion to be effective. It was never no gunslinger period. It was lets see what we can do to get the flavor using the core classes. I have often reskinned things over the years to fit into my world. But I still have the belief that the DM is not obligated to run things he hates he is obligated to be upfront with what he wants to do and to keep an open mind when working with players but at the end it is the DM who gets the final say. GMforPowergamers that was good of you take the time and help your DM learn the rules for psionics. In my situation the DM knew the rules very well she just hated them and hated the idea of them in a fantasy setting. I can pretty much say that I will not ever run a Pathfinder game with gunpowder in it. I don't like gunpowder in a game with mounted knights in plate armor. [/QUOTE]
