[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 5306540, member: 3987"] Except even if you give special permission they can't be used (not in the character builder). Since the Character Builder doesn't really support house rules, they player won't be able to produce a power card for this optional Unearthed Arcana rule, for example. They are still optional though. I don't allow Forgotten Realms backgrounds or Divine characters in my Dark Sun game and I do allow the inherent bonus. The inherent bonus is an optional rule supported by a tick box. The Forgotten Realms backgrounds can't be ticked out (well I think technically they can, but it is much easier just to say "Don't pick it"), same with the Divine characters but I can easily opt them out no matter how officially sanctioned they are. The same would be true for something like firearms, if the support was at least there to start with. The only place where it would be a problem would be with Living Forgotten Realms or Encounter nights or tournaments, but that would be just as easy to solve by just marking such content as Unearthed Arcana, and marking characters that have such content as "houseruled" which the character builder already supports.
