[QUOTE="delericho, post: 3425774, member: 22424"] I have a strict rule that if it's not in a book I personally own, it doesn't get used. However, this works well for us because I own far more books than any of my players (heck, we've only just reached the point where the majority own a PHB!); it might not work for you. Nonetheless, I recommend this approach, as too often players will remember the bits of a book they like, and 'forget' the annoying downsides. For this particular situation, I suggest a one-strike rule. The first time the player does something like this, remind him of the policy and allow him to correct his mistake. The second time, whatever was added is just lost, without a replacement being offered. The third time, he should no longer be welcome at your table. If more than one player is doing this sort of thing, assuming it's not the case that one is the 'leader' and the others just following, resign as DM. If they won't respect your policies, then you don't have to run the game for them. (If there is an obvious 'leader' amongst them, then you just have to deal with that one player, and the rest will fall into line.) [/QUOTE]
