As a group, tell the player he is out of line with his builds and sources, compared to the group. Do this before the group plays in this adventureRandy, a player who brings in non-core, secondary, third party material, etc which unbalances the group's normal game play.  Frequently forgets to mention major game changer items. This story of name and 1 of reasons why I have core rules only policy as dm.Started a new campaign first to third level pcs. Randy asked to bring a paladin from the Complete Paladin Playbook. Told me there was nothing major to worry about out except the free plate mail. I reviewed the build over a busy work week.  Asked again if any major I needed to know.  He said no. Later in night he pulls a +5 holy avenger on the first monster the group meets which requires + weapons to hit. The group let out a collected “WTF”. I down graded it to a +1 holy avenger. And we played on with Randy griping since I approved and should not downgrade his pc just because I did not read all his source material.This was Randy’s first strike. Later on he would get banish from my table if I was dming.</blockquote>
