[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9826821, member: 63508"] The group has to agree. You can be interested or like whatever you want. But if the group doesn't agree to it, you can't do it with that group. An issue is many people don't make these formal agreements openly in their groups. Sometimes they agree to sit down, default to defaults, then arguments and hurt feelings occur because someone does not follow a default assumption. The player should make a PC that fits the setting. Most settings aren't that narrow that a player can't make an appropriate PC they'd enjoy playing. But some settings are narrow enough that a player can't make a PC they'd want to play. And they can walk. And you as the DM can't be mad about it. And a DM is not forced to make an exception for a player's specific PC. The DM can ban a class or race or feat. Play your 2nd or 3rd choice. The issue is DMs who narrow their setting down to a few choices or Players demanding a single PC concept and getting mad because the other side walks. Stand on your preferences proudly or Come with options. But coming with narrow mentality and being offended when people dip out is some junk. Aint no lost city. Bob is asking for too much. The DM can't force a PC on a player nor a Player force a setting on the DM. [/QUOTE]
