D&D 5E DM imposed restrictions to the game (+)

[ezo]

Since alignment isn't one of the listed options

Well, then, I'll add it (honestly I don't know how I missed that ONE!!!

Especially since I don't do evil alignments myself.

 

[ezo]

ADDED ALIGNMENTS (which was an obvious one, dooh!)

Revote if you want to include it.

Hey I can vote now! I don't allow CN, CE, or NE, although I might be talked around (although that's more likely to be what you're calling NE I call LE or some such.)

 

[Crimson Longinus]

ADDED ALIGNMENTS (which was an obvious one, dooh!)

Revote if you want to include it.

Cool! I always ban all of them. Alignment literally is not a part of the game, there isn't even a place for it on the character sheet I made.

Don't think anyone cares that much about Gnomes. I've seen 3 rolled up in 30 years. 1 per edition.

First 5e campaign I ran had two of them. First 5e campaign I played in had one.

 

[Warpiglet-7]

First 5e campaign I ran had two of them. First 5e campaign I played in had one.

We have one in our current campaign: it was almost a joke since the player hates short characters and this is his first in decades!

 

[Hriston]

I generally run with everything in the core books (so I'll allow the aasimar, eladrin, death cleric, and oathbreaker paladin from the DMG) plus the Elemental Evil Player's Companion. I'll also allow subclasses from Xanathar's if a player is interested in one of those.

 

[Bluenose]

Whateveer makes sense for the campaign. If the campaign concept is that the Queen of the Elves has sent a party of her followers in search of an ancient elven treasure it makes sense that the PCs are elves and probably not a random bunch of strangers. If the campaign is set in some far-inland trade route through desert/steppe, sea elves aren't suitable. In the game I'm currently playing (thoughh it's not D&D but the principle would be the same) the only significant restriction was that players couldn't make a character from the city we were playing in so that players wouldn't have to keep asking whether they knew things residents should but the player didn't. But it wouldn't be a general restriction in any campaign.

 

[Lanefan]

ADDED ALIGNMENTS (which was an obvious one, dooh!)

Revote if you want to include it.

That becomes the second thing on that list I'd never restrict, along with magic items.

I don't see many but those I do see tend to hang around forever.

And as my SO's all-time number 1 character is a Gnome, I'm kinda stuck with them...
