"I love giving my players +5 holy avengers of soul-sucking at 3rd level and 25 ioun stones each the next, because I'm the DM and I'll just throw gods at them to teach them smackdown" is basically what it came to. >>The product may indeed be crap, but the above "mechanical flaws" seem more of a style issue than error.A lot of it WAS just style, I agree. And I was one who used to not get too preturbed at it knowing thats what it was. But pushing your personal play style on the reader isn't cool, let the reader do that for themselves. I still wonder if some poor n00b DM now has a game table with 2 dozen ioun stones among 3 or 4 players loosing complete control of his game because of 'forced style', that's all! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  -DM Jeff</blockquote>
