Prohibited Options
General Restrictions
Setting-Specific Material
While material from setting-books is allowed (the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting is even part of the basic resources), setting-specific material is not. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
Races: Warforged, Shifters, Kalashtar, Dromites
Prestige Classes: Harper Scout, Hathran, Red Wizard, most Eberron PrCs
Feats: Thunder Twin
Other: Dragonmarks
Material that has setting-specific lore prerequisites (such as “Must be inducted into an Order”, “Must be from a particular clan or region”, or “Must have Pelor as patron deity”) may have alternative prerequisites. If lore prerequisites would normally render certain setting-specific options incompatible (such as two prestige classes that requires different patron deities), the options will likely remain incompatible even if the lore is removed entirely.
Prohibteded Books
See Books and Sources for more details
Tome of Battle is banned. Nothing within is allowed within the game. Tome of Battle is banned because the classes within are oftentimes better versions of PHB classes, and allowing Tome of Battle would effectively force new players to pick up a book other than the PHB in order to play a martial character.
Additionally, all “Compendium” books are banned. This includes Dragon Compendium, Magic Item Compendium, Rules Compendium, and Spell Compedium.
