I joined your campaign a few sessions ago. I've been playing my character fine and it's all good. I'm describing the feast that my character's family has prepared for your characters, and it's obviously something whose precise details are very important to me.

You: Oh! We forgot to tell you. All Promahu are strict carnivores. They can't digest plant matter.
Me: ...Wait, really?
You: Yeah. We established that a long time ago.
Me: But that screws up my whole character! He serves the Goddess of Life, he's vegan! Why didn't you tell me?
You: Yeah that's our bad. But it's true.
Me: Can my guy's family be an exception?
You: No. Yeah, nope. Sorry.
Me: ...
Me: ...Well so, there it is. My guy's vegetarian or I quit the game, I can't play him as a meat-eater.
