[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9730020, member: 2209"] Cheaters. For my long term AD&D campaign I allowed anything from official sources from stuff I had (UA and OA at the time and then some Dragon and Best of Dragon options) but I did it fairly RAW. The party ended up mostly not human rolls with four using options from the DMG to get the sweet, sweet drow and grugach elf races. One person went with human fighter rolls. Later players went with DMG rolls to get the Best of Dragon winged elf race and archer class (died being one shotted by the New Master his first game but still made me rethink my allowing in anything policy) and one had a copy of the Dragon article with the Anti paladin which I let in for the one game he could come to, but I was strict enough not to let him use the UA paladin rolls. Later on there was a Dragon article with Demi Human rolls which I believe had a base number of dice pool per stat for each race then a pool of dice to add to choice of stats to allow for going for specific classes or builds, not as many dice as the human rolls charts but still a lot and more of a build choice.
