* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', prior to third edition, prevented classes from using certain weapons and armor. The most egregious case is in Basic D&D where the magic-user may only use a dagger (not even a staff) when attacking. Clerics are restricted from "sharp" objects, preventing them from using a dagger despite such an implement being useful in some types of ancient sacrificial rituals. Later editions switched this with a proficiency system, with only druids having a prohibition against metal armor and shields.

* ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': The PostFinalBoss fight has Ann being unable to utilize her SuperMode. The justification is that Ann is fighting against the being that's directly connected to this ability and she is battling to ensure that Amok will stay sealed away without being able to ever freely take control of her body.

* In several of the ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' games, you have access to a full-party full-heal spell that is, for no reason that is ever stated, available in battle but not the main menu. Likewise, there's a nifty item called the Sage's Stone which is a full-party mid-heal which can be used infinitely for no MP cost... which is also available only in battle. You want to heal up your party on the field, you've got to use spells that eat up more MP than the other options would.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', child Rydia can use white magic but adult Rydia cannot. Why? We're not sure.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' got ''really'' carried away with this, where you can only seemingly use white, black, and time magic outside of battles. No reason is given why, outside of battles, your Bard can't sing a song outside of battle to recharge HP or MP, why your Summoner can't call up Phoenix to revive a downed ally, why your Chemist can't cure status ailments using his recover ability, why your Blue Mage can't cook up Whitewind to heal the entire party...
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''. The License System in the game requires the player to spend a form of experience points to teach individual characters how to use equipment (or access spells and some inherent stat/ability boosts). For advanced weapons and armor this kind of makes sense, but the License System also covers any and all Accessories (like various hats, boots, hair clips, etc).
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'': The level-synch feature kinda has that effect, temporarily lowering the players level to be within the range of levels intended for the dungeon or FATE in question. In addition to lowering stats (including those of equipment) this can temporarily lock you out of abilities you have unlocked at a higher level, though you get to keep your chocobo companion and job below level 30.
* In ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' Sora learns to fly near the end of the Neverland level. While he does gain the Glide ability afterward he can only fly freestyle in Neverland and certain boss battles near the end of the game. From a story standpoint he should maintain the ability. You can't even argue that he runs out of pixie dust since Peter Pan has Tinkerbell go with him.
* ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'': You are unable to D-Link in the Mirage Arena, even in single player.
