[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4952595, member: 11821"] I know, I know, I'm a bad DM, but yes, I do ban certain things. We had one of these threads quite some time ago, so I figured I'd start a new one... There's been some errata (Battleragers, I'm looking at you...) and some new books, so I'm curious how things have changed. Personally, I try to ban as little as possible and just deal with problems as they arise, but there are certain things I just want to cut off before they even potentially become a problem. For my default setting game, I don't allow... [U]Items[/U] * Bloodclaw Weapons * Reckless Weapons * Iron Armbands / Bracers of Archery * Phrenic Crown [U]Feats[/U] * Dragonmark feats (I'd allow them for the "correct" races if I were running Eberron, though.) * Any non-default-setting gods and their Channel Divinity feats require pre-approval, but in practice this mostly amounts to... * Righteous Rage of Tempus, yes, even post-errata * [I]Kind of[/I] the Expertise feats, though since everyone gets the bonuses from them at 5/15/25 levels in my campaign, I'm not really taking anything away from my players. [U]Powers[/U] * Wiz 5: Grasp of the Grave [U]Backgrounds[/U] * Anything that gives benefits beyond the limitations in PHB2, so pretty much no backgrounds from FR, Scales of War, or a few other Dragon articles How about you folks? If you don't ban anything, I'd love to know that, too! And while I'd rather not have this descend into an "Only bad DMs ban stuff" discussion, I'm not going to pretend I can do anything about it. Just know that it's falling on deaf ears here. :) -O [/QUOTE]
