The DM is showing favoritism.  It may be for good reason, and you may be an exceptional player well deserving of it, but it is favoritism.2. A player with the time to scour over dozens of sourcebooks is a rather dedicated player.  The issue isn't with the player but with the DM that allows dozens of sourcebooks he's not familiar with.3. This said, I think you're on the right path by restricting the content that can be worked from, but I think that it needs to be more uniform.  The DM needs to choose sourcebooks that he is comfortable with, officially sanction them and let anyone use them, including the problem player.The DM is the throttle on judgment in most campaigns, and if you have a really motivated player it can be the hardest thing a DM has to deal with.  It helps when they can connect to that motivated player and spend more time working over their ideas.The kind of resourcefulness you're describing is what I've seen in kids that have picked up the games in high school.  The ones that really dove in and became the D&D geeks ended up being the best combat DMs simply because they had subject expertise, but early in their development they too were munchkins.Hopefully this helps.  Fair warning to the posting crowd though, unless someone comes into my house and breaks stuff, blatantly disrespect me, has no etiquette, or causes problems with the wife, I don't recommend getting rid of people.KB</blockquote>
