[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 1854439, member: 14159"] I allow the Mystic and Noble from Dragonlance in any setting, since the heroic nobleman and the introspective mystic are basic fantasy archetypes that belong in any setting (and I personally like Mystics since they provide a way to have a flexible fantasy priest that isn't the heavily armored and cliche D&D cleric). No PC's have yet used them yet. I also allow the Expanded Psionics Handbook, and one PC in my game intends to multiclass into Psychic Warrior (for a Monk/Psy-Warrior), and one PC with Wild Talent who's building toward psychic feats but no Psi class. I've avoided a lot of the other base classes, since I personally dislike most of the ones in the Mini's handbook (too frikkin powerful, and too specialized for a base class IMO). I also really, really dislike the CW Samurai; Samurai were [b]not[/b] all about dual-wielding their daisho. That was one particular fighting style, and a fairly uncommon (but cinematic and memorable) one at that. If I had a PC who wanted to be from an oriental area and play a Samurai, I'd haul out OA and see if I needed to do anything to revise it's Samurai. [/QUOTE]
