Thing I don't accept:
- Complex stuff I don't have access to (such as ToM). Short excerpts from books, like a feat, a prestige class, or a spell, can be accepted on a case-by-case basis.
- Potentially broken stuff (Wraithstrike, Assume Supernatural Ability, Divine Metamagic...) will be given a chance. If the player grossly abuses it, it's out.
- Stuff that doesn't fit within the setting. I can accept Warforged in the Forgotten Realms - after all, it's only a lesser type of construct - but not Dragonmarks. I can accept Shadow Weave Magic in Greyhawk, but not specific prestige classes tied to a FR deity. And so on.
