[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8870727, member: 52734"] I ask my players not to seek out "I win" button combos, and if something becomes problematic I'll deal with it if it rears its ugly head. Overall, I try not to be too fussed about things. I run a wide variety of encounters and scenarios, and the more a player's character leans into a one-trick pony scheme (super-high AC, massive damage output with one attack form), the more likely it will backfire spectacularly in a given scenario. As an example, had a player with a super-high AC through magic armor and spells that was practically unhittable unless the monsters rolled a 20. Did him a fair lot of good when he had to make a Dex save to avoid falling into an acid pit with his 8 Dex. And being the fighter with the only decent Strength (and not the only one who fell in and needed rescuing), it was impossible for the other PCs to pull his butt out until he was a few slivers of bone remaining. The next character was a little more balanced. The pit, by the way, wasn't thrown in specifically to deal with this character - it was simply a part of the adventure module they were going through.
