[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9334282, member: 7635"] I can certainly see both sides on this one. You are very aware I dislike curation when it comes to limiting my ideas, but I acknowledge some limits need to be placed. For example, I would certainly not allow a PC lich! But I think the idea that D&D should only have a handful of options and that cramming everything into a half-dozen classes is folly. I use 3pp stuff in my Ravenloft game. I made my own subclass for a player. I feel every monster book is fair game. And while I don't do carte blanche, I don't discard out of hand. I do state though that the appeal of limitations is the de-escalation of the arms race between PCs and DMs trying to challenge them. Even now, my Ravenloft party punches above their weight. So I use the two-dragon solution when applicable and accept sometimes the vampire gets curb stomped. I'd rather that than have everyone stuck playing only BECMI options for the rest of their lives.
