I've noticed that there seems to be quite a bit of difference between posters (and gaming groups). For example, here are some options:1)Core books... PH, DMG only2) PH, DMG, and other WizO player books3) PH, DMG, all Wizard products (include Fogotten Realms, Oriental Adventures, etc.)4) PH, DMG, all Wizard including Dragon Magazines5) PH, DMG, all Wizard, and "high cred" publishers (Relics and Rituals, Book of Eldritch Might I & II, Rokugan)6) PH, DMG, all Wizard, all other fantasy d20 publishers...7) Anything in print is fair game. Psionics gets mixed in intermittently with each of the above, it seems.Also there is a variable for how much is let in from non-core books. This could include, approval unless I say so, approval for each piece required, no approval required.Finally, there is the "home-made" factor. The interesting variable here is what percent would you say is "home-made." In some campaigns it's the occasional magic item or spell, in others, every race, prestige class, and magic item is completelyunique.So, what's in your campaign? (and perhaps why, if you care to elaborate, please be brief...)In our campaigns, it's as follows:All Wizard products and Dragon Mag are considered acceptable.All High credibility d20 publishers are acceptable, unless the DM says otherwise.Any other d20 publisher is acceptable on a DM approval basis.No Psionics.There is also about 20% additional home-made prestige classes, races, magic items, and spells.Our group really enjoys the "M:TG" style game where you min/max your way into perfection, and see if you can destroy the crazy stuff the DM comes up with. There is a premium for finding and being able to use "unique" items and spells.Occassionally, we include new prestige classes or races to duplicate the effects from a character in Diablo, Everquest, or a movie (ie, LoTR).</blockquote>
