[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 2051572, member: 5143"] I honestly don't think there is any real power creep except for a couple partially broken examples. Most of the time feats or PrC classes only get really powerful when combined in ways unforseen by the designers. The more options there are, the more there is a chance of this happening. Even then, most of the "power combos" I've seen tend to work on ambiguous rules that even when I read them as written, *I* don't think those are in fact the way the rules work. People stack spells that I would never allow to stack, people use some of the charts in the book that say "these are guidelines and the DM should decide whether or not to allow this or modify this" and just assume that everyone will use it exactly as written. Frenzied Berzerker is broken, IMHO, and a lot of stuff from BoED is also. This is because in those cases they tried to do what they swore they wouldn't do in 3rd edition, balance a hard, statistical advantage with a role playing disadvantage. Divine Metamagic isn't broken almost at all except in the case of persistant spell. IMHO, Persistant spell is broken by itself, it just becomes more broken with divine metamagic. [/QUOTE]
