If he's carrying around an artifact that will be all the gear he possesses.PCs carrying artifacts is another story - I'd be more willing to allow them if they wouldn't backstab players, come with costs, a way to reliably Sunder them if they got out of control, etc etc.MDj reminds me of Harm - neither is dependent on the victim's power at all. Harm ignored the victim's hp and saving throws - Harm ignores the victim's caster level as it strips off all of their spell. There's also no general counter to it - only specific counters.</blockquote>
