It's a player problem not a third party problem. It's  just like people trying to bring Pun Pun and many other things from WOTC's Char Ops forums into actual games and claim its fine.  Just because something is possible and can be exploited, doesn't stop it from being a dick move.  There is a thing called spirit of the rules.As for Rule 0, nice move!  Serves the idiot right.  Personally, in my campaign, it would never have gotten the far. If he showed up with  material I do not allow, he would have been told to build a new character.  Of course, I work with players during character creation. 1. I provide them a list of acceptable sources,  ban lists, and house rules.2. I also provide them with information on the cultures, deities, and, if any, class restrictions and/or class variant restrictions for a culture or organization.  3. Using the guidlines, they provide me with concept and some background ideas. 4. I suggest tweaks (if needed) to ground it in the setting. 5. They build the character mechanically.6.  I review it and accept it or send it back for changes (to date, I never had to tell someone to recreate the character from the ground up).</blockquote>
