[QUOTE="Salamandyr, post: 6336913, member: 40233"] I'll ban things. I'll probably ban the monk, because a guy who can kill things with his bare hands what other people need swords and bows to kill is a higher level version of the guy with the sword or the bow, not a different thing altogether. I often ban clerics, because their existence makes metaphysical statements about my campaign world that I'm not prepared to allow. And also it's the only class whose power is really in being an adjunct to another being, which is uncomfortable. Well, now there's the warlock, but then the cleric and the warlock are very similar in kind, only their granted powers are different. I think most people are comfortable with banning races inappropriate to the campaign world, probably more than they are classes. And lemme see, I will always ban double weapons. No suicide swords. They don't work, they're not cool, and a quarterstaff isn't any more a double weapon than a longsword is (after all, you hit people with the pommel and quillions too). [/QUOTE]
