[QUOTE="Don Durito, post: 7925350, member: 6687260"] If you're going to be snarky at least make sure you understand the point being made. Which is that there is simply no way to know where to draw the line. There are no criteria that can be used for judgement that aren't basically the abritrary and subjective judgement of the poster about what it reasonable. You act as if the above is clearly ridiculous, but it's an example I saw on rpgnet some years ago, so [I]someone[/I] clearly thought it was within the line of acceptable reskinning. (And rpgnet tends to be less traditional than this place, so I've seen people defending the right of players to play exactly the same kind of character as I just described, in [I]exactly [/I]the same terms as posters in this thread.) So where do we draw the line? Wherever the hell we feel like. That's where. There was a GM on the Paizo boards a few years ago that insisted all players had to be willing to play anime girls as characters. Was she being unreasonable? If she was able to get players to play games than who is to say? She got the players she wanted presumably as she was playtesting early Pathfinder (with many TPKs I believe). [/QUOTE]
