If he fine switches the houserules from one game to the next?In this example, maybe the DM is fine with giving this to monks in general, a permanent house rule. If so that's fine, and addresses the point above. If he's doing this just for the character concept, would he be willing to do it for others in the future?Ultimately the DM has to roll with the punches, and in most groups, as long as they are reasonable, it usually works out. For example, if the rogue came to me later and said "hey I want to get dex for grapple too!"....that's probably a no. If a player came to me and said "I've got this idea for a rogue wrestler guy"...and his plan was to use it a lot, than I might be on board. And of course if that was the concept, but the second combat starts he does nothing but pull out the bow and sneak attack....well we may need to discuss.</blockquote>
