[QUOTE="Coredump, post: 522310, member: 6939"] IME, both playing and listening to others, the real problems stem from a proliferation of items, and the ease of getting/making exactly the item you want. Sorcerer's are naturally limited by the number of 'known' spells. Even at 12th level, they only have a selection of 6 spells above 3rd level. Granted they can be cast very often, but they are limited/specialized. If he is able to buy items to make him more well-rounded, he becomes much more powerful. Now, in a low-magic campaign, like Grim-n-Gritty, that would still be too powerful; but I got the impression that the original poster just didn't want way high magic. Also, I have found that parties where the mages are overpowering often are allowed to rest as needed, so they can go to an encounter, blow as many spells as they like, and then go back and rest; sort of like most computer games. If there are repurcussions to leaving, they will be more likely to keep going, if they must keep going, they are more likely to hoard their spells till *really* needed, thus not as overpowering. (Repurcussions: PC's are attacking a deserted temple to get an ancient relic. The attack, and leave to rest. The Bad Guys now know they are being attacked, so they can better defend. They can set up an ambush, they can track the heroes to their camp. Heck, they could just take the relic and leave; try and hide somewhere else.

It is a blast having a 10-12th level party get sent packing by a bunch of kobolds. . [/QUOTE]
