However if you do want to include one or two facets (equipment, feats or spells) from other sources then that's fine, as long as it's only a few (i.e no more than a total of 3) things, my main issue isn't that I don't have access to every book under the sun (although this is true), I mearly want to keep it as simple as possible, and as true to FR's as possible. Yes I'm aware that this is a fuzzy ruling, but that's the sort of person I am.  Also I'm not going to allow any of the races from the 'Races of' books, as once again this is a FR setting and not a generic free-for-all setting.1) As a general rule I'll limit the weapon size to two steps higher than your starting size, so if you're a medium sized character you could use a huge longsword or a Large Greatsword (A greatsword is large to begin with, so making it a large Greatsword changes it's size category to huge). Both of these weapons would cause 3d6 damage using this formula.2) Answered above3) No thanks, its would be way to game-breaking if I allowed you to be an Astral-Deva (20 ECL) with 13 class levels.Custom Items: No completely new items, no changing of bonus types (ie you can't change Bracers of Armour so that they provide a dodge bonus instead of an armour bonus). However I will allow you to advance an item (i.e. +4 Gauntlets of Ogre Power) as well as changing item slots, but be aware if a you change an items body slot this may cause it to cost more, if the new slot doesn't have an affinity for that type of item.  So if you change a Headband of Intellect into bracers of intellect, it would cost 50% more.Also if you wanted to make a purely thematic change such as changing Boots of Striding and Spring into an Anklet of Striding and Springing I would be fine with it. Basically I don't want the headache of trying to ensure that custom items are priced fairly and are balanced.As explained above 'some' material from the Draconomicon would be allowed, and yes Psionics are allowed.Agreed!You're assuming that I have hair to begin with, anyway work is overrated <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" />Um the correct one of course! Okay after spending far too much time trying to answer all of the above questions, you've all worn me down enough that I'm going to allow you to use any WoTC printed source book to create your characters (apart from Eberron and other world specific stuff of course), but be aware that I still want my guidelines on magical items to be followed.</blockquote>
