Broken and banned

[Byronic]

I'm just curious, which feats, classes, items, powers, combo's etc do you consider broken?

And which ones are so broken (or otherwise disliked) that you will not allow them in your game?

Edit: Also items banned for sheer "lameness"

Not everyone has separate levels of "Broken" & "So broken it is disallowed".

 

[the Jester]

It's too early to tell imho. I think we need to play the system a little longer before we can legitimately call 'broken'.

None.

I have reinstated my ban on mongoose 3pp books after hearing about there wizard book and metamagic feats...

Maybe sleep... I hate "save or coup de grace" powers... but so far 4E is fine and better balanced than 3.5 IMO.

Nothing I've seen so far.

WotC has done a bang-up job with balance so far.

The trouble spots (Blade Cascade, for instance) have been filed down by errata.

I've had a few tough goes with sleep as well. I'm somewhat disturbed to see that it'll stay effective across several levels as well. On the flip side, its a wizard daily, has to hit first, then has a 50% chance of working, and is one of the few powers that doesn't do damage.

But I haven't run across anything stupidly over powered yet.

In 4E, none whatsoever yet. Back in 3E, I had lots of questionable options I didn't agree with, not that I disallowed them all the time. Time will tell - as of right now (I just bought Martial Power and the Realms Player Guide) nothing wouldbe out of bounds to me.
