[QUOTE="Whirlingdervish, post: 6767409, member: 6786324"] I generally allow my players a great deal of latitude and have been known to let stuff in if the player has a good story or reason for it to be allowed. Just because ebberon exists does not mean i as a DM have to allow its use in conjunction with my setting. As for the use of european setting that forbids Psionics, Dragonkin, Warforged or Monks I would do it in a heart beat.... Robin hood,Ivanhoe, Charlemagn, Arthurian myth, the norman invasion of england, the 100 years war, the crussades, Three Musketeers France, The Count of Monte Christo,Beowulf, Sigurd the volsung, Norse and Greek mytholgy where any numnber of our demihuman races and many of our monsters have their origins. Granted i would not stop at Europe i would include Russia, Japan, Mongolia, China,South east asia (These would be your best bet for dragon kin), India and the middle and near east. All of them have donated so much that is far more phantasitical than warforged or psionics... [COLOR=#0000CD]I got off topic a little this was supposed to be about world builders.
