Because what we say is that you can bring any 5e character just from a published source. So obviously Ghostfire, or Kobold, or of course Wizards, or whatever you like.

And what do we do when someone comes in with a T-Rex ninja laser beam bearing character? And that's undoubtedly going to happen. And so, it's going to be the ultimate DM fiat. They're going to say, look, that character, it's going to interrupt the fun of everyone else here. So, we can't allow that. with every presumption and leaning toward let everyone play what they want to play, please.
