[QUOTE="rgard, post: 3314164, member: 4157"] I've seen it work well. Player 1 buys the book. Talks his DM into allowing the new class or prc. While reading the class description, the DM sees something in the book he wants to use for an NPC or to play as a PC in a different campaign. DM buys the book. Player 2 likes the new class as well. Player 2 buys the book. I witnessed this with the BoVD (you have to love Violated Lightning Bolts), BoED, Bo9S and Complete Mage among others. Part of this hinges on how easy the DM is about new stuff in the campaign. I personally don't mind somebody bringing in something new. One player brought in a character from Green Ronin's College of Necromancy...he died, but cursed one of my major NPCs wrecking the NPC's viability as a protagonist. It created some work for me as I had to stat up a new BBEG, but that I don't mind. So if your DM has a major problem with new stuff or stuff he/she doesn't own, then yes you may be buying a book you don't get to use...at least right away. Thanks, Rich [/QUOTE]
