It's easy enough for me, just as an example, to sit down at your table with a character sheet that says I'm playing a lawful good human fighter with the noble background... And proceed to turn your campaign upside down. If that's a players goal, it's not hard to achieve and no number of DM imposed restrictions will stop it.I understand we all have our own experiences and those are going to shape our outlooks moving forward, but this idea so many DMs have that alignments, races, classes and any combination thereof make for disruptive players is something I've never been able to wrap my head around. Words on a character sheet don't suddenly make a mature and well-intentioned player an asshat, the same way they won't suddenly make an asshat be respectful of others. Funny thing that, the character sheet isn't a magic cure-all for immaturity. My last campaign had a lawful evil tiefling warlock in it from the word go, in a party with a lawful good paladin and a neutral good cleric and it was never a problem. And yes, everyone played their alignments, as much as I enforce that sort of thing. They all even managed to get along with the chaotic neutral half-orc barbarian... who was also not a disruptive character. Anyway, people will continue to play their games the way they like and that's the important thing. As long as your table is having fun that's the whole point. It's not like anyone here is strolling over to my table and dropping a pamphlet of restrictions on the table... good thing too, it'd get you laughed out of the session. I think folks just need to take a step back here and stop trying to pass their opinions off as fact.</blockquote>
