Or that, for whatever reason, you think it's boring, has stupid fluff, stupid powers, or is otherwise just lame.We're not talking about mechanics. We're not talking about ability combos that ruin the fun. Nothing that you would ban or curtail because it's overpowered. Nor are we talking about something that breaks the tone of the genre for you (say, psionics in fantasy).I speak purely from a perspective of taste. For whatever reason, you don't like that class or that race. And your player - for whatever reason - wants to play it, and plays it all the time, and you just don't like it.To use an example, let's take the bard. Some just find them ridiculous, and do not see a guy with a lute having a place in an adventuring party.Have you been in that situation? And, what'd you do? How do you handle this situation?In my experience, and as others have said on these boards, players don't like you banning something just because you don't like it conceptually; it comes off as arbitrary and mean. At the same time, just "sucking it up" would be letting someone have their fun at the expense of yours.And, for the sake of conversation, let's assume I'm not talking about some off-the-wall race or class from a splat book three times removed from the core rules, or a completely different campaign setting/system/whathaveyou. Thus saying "It's not core" as an excuse to dismiss it is not on the table.I make this post as a DM, but it is also a fair question for a player; when someone at the table plays something that annoys you.</blockquote>
