[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 8705084, member: 6775477"] To create a specific playstyle is the most common reason. Occasionally I'll change something because I think it's stupid. Largely because I don't accept the changes forced upon my game over the decades. Kobolds are not draconic, and the Greyhawk Wars never happened. My Greyhawk is my unique version based on the 83 boxed set, as Gygax originally intended. Because of what logically makes sense in the world, and sometimes the specific campaign I'm running requires or limits these options. The Drow have only recently been revealed to the surface world, having been a dark secret of the elven race, so until this point it didn't make sense for a Drow PC on the surface. The Artillerist and Battle Smith are lost abilities from the Suel Imperium, waiting to be rediscovered. Despite the fact that it would make sense to limit race/class combinations in Greyhawk, I don't really feel the need to do so anymore. Dwarven wizards exist, but they're really rare. I don't use anything that's a campaign setting book for anything but that setting. I did use the SCAG for a while, since it was the only player options available outside of the PHB for a long time. Now that the combat cantrips and bladesinger have been reprinted, plus there's plenty of other options with XGE and TCE, I don't allow it anymore. [/QUOTE]
