[QUOTE="ukingsken, post: 4550429, member: 78358"] It seems to me that a lot of it will eventually come down to the community opinion as a whole. Yes maybe it will be a little frustrating for some DM's if they don't own the book but garyh is right in that everything you need to adjudicate the powers etc should be in the templated sheets anyway. And you're right too Covaithe, on some level WoTC runs a business and some of their material may get pushed through for business reasons. But having bought every 4ed release so far I will say I have seen much less broken-ness then was present even in early 3rd edition. On a whole WoTC seems to be doing a better job play testing and dealing with balance issues. So since I want to avoid only replying and not contributing I think that really it's more important to consider material on a flavour basis then the rules side. If something is obviously rules broken, well yeah dont allow it. But for the gaming experience its much more important that the new material jives with our living flavour. Besides if something is allowed and turns out to be broken you can always remove it later. A few people might get angry but as a whole the community would appreciate the work being done to keep the game balanced. [/QUOTE]
