[QUOTE="Arlough, post: 5536766, member: 79335"] We use the same rule, but with the exception that if you own the book yourself, you can use the power even if you are the only one at the table who owns the book. We started this to encourage people to start financially supporting the parts of 4th ed they liked. And this is the reason we have instituted a combat timer. If it takes you more than 2 minutes to decide your course of action, you lose your turn. This actually didn't start with custom or Dragon powers, but with the chaos sorcerer in PHB2. You could play one if you wanted to play one, but you had to keep track of your crap. As for banning Dragon, I am perfectly okay with that. I would say that Dragon magazine is responsible for about 50% of the power creep we have experienced, and about 75% of the feat overflow. If a DM wants to use it, fine. But I am not about to deride him for not wanting to even deal with it. As it is, there are only 2 things that I will currently allow from Dragon Magazine, the Whip feats from 368 and Staff Fighting, also from 368. [/QUOTE]
