[QUOTE="Trainz, post: 1231456, member: 2122"] IF you're 10th level, that means an extra... 5 points damage on a sneak attack on average. Which still doesn't work on evil undead and such. Don't worry too much about that. Well, if your DM doesn't make a Nymph fall in love with you (which is an ultimately absolutely rare event), you don't have access to that feat now, do you ? What I'm trying to say is, yeah, some stuff from BoED is really good. Outright game-disrupting ? I don't think so. About time they publish such stuff too. If I see another +2/+2 feat, I'm gonna puke. What's the use of publishing a product that players wouldn't want to use ? If your players want to get some stuff from BoED, I just think that means one thing: success. And if you're worried about balance: it always was the province of the DM to make sure that balance is observed in his campaign. Since all gaming group's campaigns are different, there cannot be a single set of rules that would guarantee it. If there's a balance problem in your group, that's because you let something go in THAT WASN'T SUITABLE FOR YOUR PARTICULAR GROUP. I have allowed BoED IMC, and so far, we only get great gaming from it, with absolutely no balance issues. Also note that I'm not about to give Nymph's Kiss to anybody yet, because there just isn't a Nymph that fell in love with one of the PC's. I can only hope that the Complete Warrior will be as good...
