Lets say using the rules from the PHB (roll 4d6 drop the low which I'm gonna guess a vast majority of players and DMs use)and inside the allowable everything the DM has I roll crappy stats.top score of 6. Like I originally said.I'm going to be the outcast on this position but let me demonstrate my point more effectively using the most basic of rules for which almost everyone plays by: Stat generation. Trust me, we've tried to make them using Gestalt campaings with feats from any d20 source and our DM still kills us (I had a Astral Deva/monk level 11 with an AC over 50 and saves over+20 and he still died from a CR appropriate monster)īroken? HAAHAHA!!!!!!!! I laugh at broken and then find a way to kill it and so does my DM.


No character is sooo insanely powerful that nothing can kill them or make them quake in their boots just a little. Ouch! If a character is broken its only because you let him be. In a previous campaign my DM found a nasty template that did 1/2 physcial damage back to my Warblade. Will they still be outrageously high for their level? Throw more challenging monsters at them to even the playing field. Look at what their bonuses are going to be at higher levels. Now many of you would say doing that much damage is broken yet after one round of combat I was killed by a CR appropriate critter so I say its not broken. Lot of good being able to crit for over 130HP did me. The undead we just faced killed him in one round of combat from Intelligence drain. Granted he can kill most living critters with a couple crits but he can't make a reflex save to save his life. For example in the campaign I play (its gestalt) I have a Fire Giant fighter 14/14. Keep in mind when players do buff something outragouesly they leave weaknesses. They munchkin here and there and stack bonuses where they can. Players get creative with characters to build them more powerful than perhaps originally thought. Yeah you get another Candle but its on the 9th layer of Hell. Any good DM will nerf wishes and look exactly at what the player is asking and usually thwart even the craftiest of players so they don't get what they exactly intended. Even the example of the three wish thing isn't broken. Broken builds? I'm probably going to be about the only one with this point of view but a build is never broken.
