D&D 5E What options do your DM allow for your character?

[Shiroiken]

My poll result was for me as a player, but I thought I'd comment on the game I run:

PHB, SCAG, and Elemental Evil
No Homebrew (all homebrew stuff is on the DM's side)
Free Multi-Classing
PHB Feats

I checked everything except the 2 basic options. Because no-one I know of/game with has any use for the 5e Basic set beyond the Lost Mine module it comes with. We all have copies of the PHB, so that's our minimum.
What's allowed after that? Well, that's dependent upon who's sitting in the DMs chair atm, but between us we cover all your combos....

Funny how the first three options are mutually exclusive, yet put together they get to 117%(And that is without even counting the last option that should be mutually exclusive with everything else).

Felt like I had to check everything! The DM's I play for are open and embracing, which also means that if you want to play a bog-standard champion without feats, you can do that, too.

All of the above, except for En5ider, since I do not have a subscription to that. Other than that, I allow my players whatever they want, but let them know I will change it around if it gets to be too much or too little of what they aimed for.

Also, does anyone else read it as En-fider?

I DM probably 2/3 of the time I guess, but me and the other person who DMs are almost the exactly the same.

No reasonable request will be unreasonably denied.

That sums up what we allow. Unless there is a clear in game conflict that will arise in game (like the player wanting to play a half dragon with lasers), then we're pretty open to at least hearing the player's ideas. Then we work it out as best as we can before the game starts.

Same.

Add To that, I have a lot of homebrew that players are welcome to use.

also, given my philosophy that purpose built options are generally better than generic options reflavored, if a player has a concept that isn't already represented, I'm willing to create something for it. Heck, I'm down to create a subclass so a character needn't be multiclassed, if need be.

Too many options, couldn't see, want to say this:
Provided the options fit the campaign:
No homebrew.
No 3rd-party.
Everything in the PHB without question.
Official material outside the PHB with approval.

My games have never been broken, my takes have never been too powerful (compared to earlier editions) so mostly I just don't want the headache of screening extraneous material.

I'm still amazed by the weird overlapping results.
