We also have to respect that the context of the DM's campaign HEAVILY impacts balance.If your playing a notable low level game, where the players will be 1-3 level for a long time.... moon druids are OP. Playing a game where wilderness survival is the literal name of the game, suddenly rangers and druids are a whole lot stronger than normal. Playing a campaign where arcane magic is dying....a wizard might be underpowered, etc.So for a new campaign, the DM might not normally think X is a problem. But once a player outlines it, they realize that in this particular game, that is just not going to work, and so calls for a change.At the end of the day, playing is easy, and DMing is hard (and having played and DMed for over 20 years, I feel very confident in this statement). Players have a hundred concepts they can pick from, so if the DM wants to nerf a few to help them do their very challenging job, that is absolutely fine. Now the player is of course welcome to change their concept, but the idea that a DM HAS to accommodate a player when they already have a hundred other things on their plate to get ready for a new campaign....sorry no dice.</blockquote>
