If you don't want templated or monster PCs disallow them.   Liimit certain classes, feats and/or spells to specific culturesIf the issue involves multiclassing, PrCs, or players focusing on preplanned builds use the optional training rules and trainer requirement from the DMG. WIthout a trainer and time, characters cannot multiclass.  This means that characters need to learnof/find, secure, and have time to spend with a trainer to multiclass or take a PrC.   Suddenly, the guy with the preplanned build is out of luck if he or she is in the wrong area of the world when he levels. c) Broken or inappropraite supplemental material: Control what supplemental material  is used.  There is nothing wrong with disallowing a book or allowing only select items that you feel are appropriate.</blockquote>
