[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6923003, member: 6701872"] I'm not stating it as if I find it profound - I'm stating it because, prior to me stating it, it was being ignored by some and phrased by others in ways that had a connotation that suggested they think that if the DM's choice of monsters does anything but make these feats as powerful as they can possibly be, that said DM is "fixing" something "broken" rather than what you and I now agree upon, and hopefully no one else questions, is just the DM doing what a DM does. The DM is not "moderating the feats" - the DM is just doing what a DM does. Not some special "the game is asking more of the DM than it should" situation. No, it is not a "big ask" for any DM to notice that something is making their game less enjoyable. Because that's seriously how easy it is to notice an issue [I]if [/I](not when, since there's no guarantee that a group will take issue with these feats, nor that a group that would take issue with them will ever actually face conditions that point that issue out to them) one arises. And while some people decry trial & error as being the worst thing to have to do, it really isn't, especially not when dealing with things that are subjective like what seems fun - if something turned out not as fun as you wanted, you just try whatever else sounds fun. Have you never heard a parent phrase something similarly, such as "I'll clean up your room, but I don't think you'll like it."? [/QUOTE]
