[QUOTE="Forrester, post: 562265, member: 1279"] I'll second that -- on both counts (the rules lawyer problem and the twink problem). A friend of mine decided to run a one-shot module -- Bastion of Broken Souls. My 18th level cleric of Flahrnahghahn can get his AC up to 59 (core rules only, mind you), can cast Miracle up to 7 times a day if necessary (love those Candles of Invocation), is pretty much immune to targeted spells, INCLUDING Greater Dispelling and Slow (as he's always holding onto his Rod of Absorption), can easily deal out 100pts+ damage a round against the toughest of opponents (as he can cast Holy Sword -- the 4th level Paladin spell -- from an Ioun Stone, put there using Miracle, of course.) I mean, how exactly DO you kill an 18th level cleric that's been polymorphed into a stone giant, has a 59 AC, can't be effectively targeted by individual non-touch spells, and who can cast Mass Heal once a round before engaging in his brutal full-round attack? I'll note I have Mind Blank up, and a Contingency up that gives me SR34 if I'm targeted by a melee touch spell. (I may just change it to a Heal). I have to point out at this point the whole "Gating in a Solar" thing doesn't suck much either . . . my DM is currently working on a way to nerf it, as it's just a *little* broken. The first real combat we had was almost a TPK (we teleported to the Marilith/Kyton's lair). Guess who survived? Yeah, I gotta twink problem.
