[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 5046419, member: 59057"] I am still at the position i have. In 3.5 you could look at some books and throw them away because you got options so much better that it was retarded... (some FR books, exalted deeds thing, stacking of psionics and magic...) I don´t consider the first 4 complete books very power creepy... but that could be because i am not willing to let rule masters destroy my game... Stacking save penalties would actually be not so bad, if all those save penalties would only work on the first save or penalties from items don´t stack. Easy fix, really. The only issue i have with 4th edition is the "say yes" mentality. During the game, say yes is the best advise, but when it comes to character building i just say no sometimes... I don´t allow dragon content until i am sure it has the same standards as the books. So until now, i see no considerable INTENDED power creep. Maybe an intended OPTION creep with slightly unintended power creep. But WotC is willing to fix issues with errata. I only consder it power creep if you make new option more powerful on purpose to sell more books (like trading cards which get stronger from edition to edition so that you always need to buy the next ones to be on par with the rest) [/QUOTE]
