[QUOTE="WarpedAcorn, post: 7167893, member: 6819400"] No class is disallowed in my campaign. I can't think of a good reason why I would mark any class off limits in a standard adventure. Now, if the game is a low-magic setting that is different, but that would require a buy-in from the players as well.
