[QUOTE="Thotas, post: 3367952, member: 18974"] Assuming you go with a restart, you should delineate -- in writing -- what books are in and which are out. It's perfectly okay to start small, or even limit parts. You can say "Core only, plus Spell Compendium, minus the DMG's Arcane Trickster PRC". From there, allow yourself the perogative to add in supplements, like a "Complete X" book, or just some section there of, on a case by case basis, either because you've developed your campaign in that direction or because of player request that you've considered. If you decide to not do a restart, then you should impose similar limitations, but simply grandfather in any feat, spell, what have you [I]that is already in play[/I]. Again, put it in writing and procede from there. The example of the PrC he was looking for is a good case to look at here. It annoyed you because it blindsided you. If he'd needed your review to assume he could take the class, he'd have let you know his plans, you'd have seen what he was up to and it would not have dissapointed you when you got the mistaken idea that he was looking past his own character sheet.
