[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4527564, member: 40961"] *Cadfan draws a Korgoth-shaped chalk outline on the wall* More seriously, I think you have a legitimate interest in determining the playstyle of characters [I]at your table[/I] (though not an absolute interest, and there are problems with the weird food-allergy like claim of many on this forum that the presence of an even slightly anime influenced PC run by someone else utterly destroys their ability to have fun... D&D requires elements of compromise and consensus, and one shouldn't allow the consensus to be hijacked by someone making irrational claims...). You only go up against the wall if you feel that the existence of an anime influenced Ki class or splat book somehow is an attack on your precious, precious, parochial little game. That's like me claiming that the Forgotten Realms is an abomination that never should have been printed, because... I dunno, somebody might ask me to run a game in the FR and I'd prefer not to. I don't like the Forgotten Realms, never particularly have, so I don't buy FR books, and if someone asked me to join a FR campaign, I'd probably say no. That's that. If I were to start feeling that my dislike of the Forgotten Realms should translate into a refusal by WOTC to publish Forgotten Realms material for those who [I]do[/I] like the FR, that would be at best me sticking my nose in other people's business, and at worst, megalomania.
