[QUOTE="JonnyP71, post: 7624299, member: 6788862"] The Druid argument is one example of current gaming attitudes that frustrates me somewhat, namely the unwillingness of players to abide by certain core themes of classes and races in their roleplaying. When I DM I'm of the opinion that if you play a Druid, your character will NOT wear metal armour. This is not a player choice, this is just a simple rule that a player must abide by. If the player is unwilling to do so, then they will not be playing a Druid. It's really that simple. If a Druid player tries to get their character to don metal armour I will simply veto the action and say 'No'. However I'm somewhat old school in my approach to other classes and races, I use the racial preference table from 1E for example - sorry, if you want to play a Half Orc then the Elf in the party is NOT going to be a lifelong best friend. In fact your characters are not going to get along, at least not initially, so please work together and decide which of you is going to play a different race that is more suitable, or be prepared to roleplay significant conflict between them.
