To be fair, [b]that[/b] is a pretty big restriction. 

But as I say, the player would just need to accept that and deal with it.

It is a slippery slope.  If we don't allow this, then it will be very restrictive for the current players because that would make certain characters flat out unavailable and make certain stories impossible to tell.  We just want to find a balance that allows for us to give us the most tools to tell the stories that we want to tell and that allows for new players to make the characters that they want to make.
