[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 2804707, member: 14041"] Of course the best way to deal with it is A) Talk to him. There is the unsatisfying B) come up with an obvious and unfair way to nerf the PC. So if you are unwilling to do A) then I choose C) Other. Figure out how to max out the other PCs in a similar way and just start playing from a higher adjusted CR. Got a rogue? Have him be the first one to touch an ancient artifact that enfuses him with the powers of an ancient outsider. Got a Wizard/Sorcerer/Other Arcane Caster? Uberitem X that can only be used by that specific class and bonds with its wielder until their death. Got a Cleric/Paladin/Ranger/Druid/Other Divine Caster? Their diety (or someone elses) thinks that they should become a half-celestial. Whatever. Basically it comes down to the fact that once you allow something in a game its really hard to take it away. An unbalanced game can't be rebalanced "down" in power in game, it can only be rebalanced by increasign the power level of those who are lacking. It largely depends on what the other players think. Are you the only one having a problem with it? If so why? [/QUOTE]
