Character Creation

As mentioned in my first post, our gaming group got together yesterday to create some characters for my campaign. I had set up some guidelines for what races and classes I allow in my campaign, which are most of those included in the Player's Handbook.

The races excluded were dragonborn, gnomes, half-orcs and tieflings. Dragonborn and tieflings are a bit too out there for my taste as PC races (I might let players use them at a later point though), half-orcs are hated as much as orcs in my campaign, because of a plague a hundred years ago, that they were blamed for and therefore aren't welcome in most civilized areas of my campaign world (which makes them too problematic as a PC race), and gnomes never have and never will exist in my world.
