Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nyaricus" data-source="post: 3034628" data-attributes="member: 35678">I'm a DM. I have Dm'd since last February. With the 2 groups I've had before my new one, I had problems getting them out of the PHB! I want my players to have options and to get the type of character they want, but the last two groups just... didn't get it, I guess.Luckily, my new group, ironically enough, is again composed of relative newbies to the hobby, and have branched out already, just by making their 3rd level characters.I have a Gold Dwarf Knight, an Air Genasi Ranger, a Wild Elven Druid, a Lightfoot Halfing Beguiler, and a Human Favoured Soul in my groups party. Between them, they are using some regional feats from Player Guide to Faerun, some ComDiv feats, some PHBII feats, some Forgotten Realms races and the alternate druid ability Animal Shape from the PHBII.This makes me the happiest DM in the world, FYI.Now, as a player I could see how this could overwhealm you - the dwarves' player even remarked that at the character creation session (about there being so many options) - but for myself, I have read all the books I own, at one point or another, and know my stuff. I can pretty much recall anything from any of those books, and even have an idea of which page it's on. I helped all my players make their characters, and it went fine.I could also see how some could be overwhealed by the options, but since I'm the type of person that I am, I keep a pretty level head, unless I'm angry <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />But, I'm the happiest DM in the world right now <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
