Sometimes it does challenge us as DM's but thats half the fun. As a DM your suppose to think on your feet and make it fun. With my games i've had to adapt my campaign as the way the game played, took me by surprise. I have also had overpowered creatures in play which may have been too strong but I adapted it to make it fun. It's the DM's job. Paladins are strong but so can other races be if given the right circumstances. I can understand adapting for a campaign's but it only take a lightbulb moment like auras are not useable in this room due to dark magic or something. So I completely disagree with saying you can not use the race.
DM is whining - I bought a Monster manual too it is only a guideline to aid the DM it's not the be all and end all of a campaign. If it is you need to be more inventive.
