A DM wants to run a high-powered game, so he gives all PCs one feat at every odd level and an ability score increase at every even level instead of the regular progression.2. WotC releases a high-powered campaign setting, and the rules for that setting allow PCs to gain one feat at every odd level, and an ability score increase at every even level.3. A DM thinks that a particular class or race is underpowered, so he gives it an extra mechanical benefit, e.g. fighters get a bonus feat every level.4. WotC releases a supplement containing feats that can only be taken as fighter bonus feats by 4th-level or higher fighters that are about twice as powerful as regular feats.Which of the above would you consider to be "power creep", and why? Do you think it is a bad thing, and if so, why?Please avoid bashing any specific edition of D&D in your answers. <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=";)" /></blockquote>
