[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 6056748, member: 7635"] Actually, I keep hearing a bunch of whiny, entitlement-driven players who don't want WotC or any DM telling them they can't be whatever they're little hearts desire. [color=darkorange][B]Mod Note: [/B]as we saw with someone else shortly after this, calling folks names is not acceptable. It is uncivil, and against our rules. Please don't do this. Thanks. ~Umbran[/color] How would you react if the DM said there were no halflings on his world? Or that there was no clerics? Elves were 3 feet tall and gnomes ate nothing but tar? Or that there was NO caster's at all (except insane CE cultists)? Or that no races are cross fertile (goodbye half-elves, half-orcs, half-dragons, and tieflings) or even the simple (but common) rule of "No Evil PCs"? All those limit what the PC can be. Similarly, is WotC responsible to give rules for PCs to play anything they want? Do they need to provide us with rules for goblin, orc, and minotaur PCs? What about a vampire PC? A dragon? A Jedi? What about giving us rules for wizards to wear plate male and use magic? Isn't that limiting my PC? Why is caster resolution different? At what point does WotC (and the DM) get to say "No!"? When do they get to say "In D&D, elves are X and fighters are Y, and wizards are Z?" I still hold great faith that WotC has cool heads on this. Otherwise the only way "D&D Next" is going to unite players is to be an order blank for the 1e/2e/3.5 and 4e reprints on it. [/QUOTE]
