My reply would have been for the player to stick with the original character that night. I would look it over and ensure it will fit the campaign and at the power level.Mistake 2 was allowing sources you were not familiar withMistake 3 was realizing there was material you were unfamiliar with still allowing the character in play rather than having the player hold offMistake 4 allowing the character and not telling the player that the allowance would be provisional and you reserved the right to a) deny the character or b) require changes/nerfs if the character proved unbalanced.Then, from the sound of your previous post, you just kept making the same mistake.Sorry, this was on you as a DM and to a lesser extent your player for springing it on you at the last minute.  However as the DM, it, ultimately, rested on you to delay the character entering and you ignored the opportunity to have the player to do so which led to the same problem with other players and the game getting out of hand.[/QUOTE]
