[QUOTE="molonel, post: 3261091, member: 10412"] Gygax was excellent beginning for this game, but if he'd stayed at the helm, it would have sunk the hobby. 3rd Edition has done nothing of the sort. My players respect my rulings. I allow discussion, but my rule is that if there is a question, and it starts chewing up game time, I will make a rules call, and that is final. If the decision ends up hurting the player's character, and I was wrong, I will make ammends. If I was wrong, and they benefit, and it doesn't break the game, then congrats! Christmas came early this year. We're not technically players or GMs in this discussion. We're talking about gaming philosophy, and reasoning behind decisions. And someone telling me that I'm incapable as a player of grasping the intricacies of playing a non-human race is poppycock. Pure and simple. Someone who says to me, "I only allow humans because that's the flavor I'm going for" gets a shrug and a nod. You wouldn't have to ask me to leave. I'd pack up, grab my eight-pack of Guinness, and hit the road without being asked. [/QUOTE]
