Immediately shoot down, even if it follows my list of rules I supplied before session 0? No. If I think it might cause a problem for the player, though, like if the player thinks the class or an option works a different way than it actually does, or picks complicated options without understanding what they do, I might caution and warn them about it before it becomes frustrating for them.
I always have at least one player I'm always hesitant to allow to play spellcasters. Even five sessions in, they ask what a spell save DC is, other players helpfully lead them through calculating what it is, and told to write it down and remember it for the future. Only to forget and repeat the process every single time they cast a spell. And also rarely look up what spells do, just pick them based on their name, and always asks *me* in the middle of combat when I might have 2-3 books open and flipping through various stat blocks, instead of opening their own PHB sitting right in front of them. It's this type of player I would encourage to play a class more on their comfort level of being able to understand on their own.
Heh, I'm actually dealing with exactly that type of player right now.
Add in the fact that her and her boyfriend prefer to use DnD Beyond for character sheets, and therefore are constantly on their laptops during the game... IT isn't great.
I've been debating how to gently break the subject before school is back in session and we sit back down for our next session, see if I can't get them a little more attentive during the game since it is annoying the other players.
