[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 2887489, member: 18701"] Kill his character in some heroic way. Don't let him know you did it on purpose. Then politely say, "Well that sucked. I guess this would be a good chance to create that core character I asked you to create". Then stick to your guns and make sure his new build follows your request. It may be petty, but it will save you from getting into a petty argument about his illegal character. Seriously, the guy is a chump. You're not the badguy here and don't let anyone make you feel like you are. I think it's completely out of line for players to purposely disregard what a DM asked for and then whine when the DM confronts them about it. This guy knew what he was doing. He had full intentions on pulling a fast one over on you. If he's mentally challenged, then I apologize for attacking him. But it doesn't take a braniac to understand how to build a character when the DM says "PHB only". He was insulting your intelligence by playing dumb. Player's these days get this idea that they are obligated to play whatever they want in YOUR campaign. As if they have a better idea of what your setting should be than you do.
