[QUOTE="Seeten, post: 3332362, member: 27186"] Clerics are overpowered to begin with. Powergamed clerics are the most powerful characters in the game, bar none. I'd argue they are better by far than even natural spell druids. I wouldnt be afraid to give him a magic weapon, every swing with the weapon is one less spell he casts. He can only do one, or the other, in any given round, so the opportunity cost isnt worse, it just allows him to swing the weapon, which is actually good for you. Its easier to see the sword swings coming, than the brutal cleric spells. My best advice is to get him to play a non spellcaster in the next game, as powergamed spellcasters are monstrously potent. For this game, I'd politely ask him to only help when its asked for, and to work with you to help the other players get some spotlight time too. Clerics are well able to craft their own magic items, if he chooses not to use feats that way, let him sell the items you give him to get what he wants, within reason. Be wary of pearls of power, items that increase his CL, like prayer beads, and the like. [/QUOTE]
