[QUOTE="Regicide, post: 4719929, member: 67552"] That is the designer's fault for thinking that narrowing the scope of the game will balance it without taking into account that no matter how narrow something is, if you make it long enough, it gets out of hand. They should have capped bonuses properly, but they didn't. They fixed some things such as critical hits so that bonuses don't get applied multiple times like in 3E (*shudder* x32 power attack damage, whee) but they thought they were safe and went and added all sorts of other bonuses that all add up, then they went and added ways of multiplying those bonuses, such as twin strike and THEN they added repeated power use. Anyway, it's not TECHNICALLY twin-strike's fault. Alone it CAN be a reasonable power when not... abused. It's up to the DM to keep their player's in line until WotC gets the message that being able to do infinite damage is probably a bad thing and post some errat... er... "updates." [/QUOTE]
