Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celebrim" data-source="post: 5437518" data-attributes="member: 4937">That's a really important point that no one has brought up before.  If a player brought a feat, spell or even class to the table from something not in the house rules, and said, "Can I have this?", it would certainly be considered.  I'm pretty much willing to smith or adopt anything that fits a concept and the setting, is reasonably balanced, and isn't simply mechanical variation on an existing mechanically supported ability.  I probably wouldn't add a new class to the game, and I certainly wouldn't break my ban on PrCs, but if some player brought a PrC to the table and said, "I'd like to do some of things this class does", there is a good chance I'd add new feats, or new skill uses, or a new Champion portfolio, or a new Sorcerer bloodline, or whatever to the rules to accomodate that.  I'm not banning individual abilities nor am I banning concepts (indeed, I'm trying to allow for generic fantasy concepts), but I have a general design for the game in mind and that is what I mean by 'banning' certain things. In practice, this almost never happens.  I have had only one player so far who had a lot of 3.5 experience before joining my table, and he seems to appreciate what I'm trying to accomplish (having had bad experiences with playing a Frenzied Beserker, etc.).  Plus, I'm always mining supplements (and my own imagination) for ideas, so I generally encorporate things before they are actually asked for.</blockquote>
