If I gave out an overpowered item, I just wouldn't say anything about it. Eventually, something would happen in the game that got rid of that item. I'd try to be fair about it and I would also reward the PC with something else in return.Sometimes it's not good to talk things over with your players. They'll complain either way. Keeping it in-game at least lets you play innocent. Keeping it in-game could also spice up the campaign and cause players to react in a way that provides you with all kinds of new material for the adventure.As for min/maxing or powergaming, my patience has run out. I will no longer DM anyone that does either. I hate powergaming. Min/maxing is more tolerable, but I want to spend my free time making the adventure more fun story wise. I don't want to spend even a second trying to balance encounters because of a min/maxed PC that is a bit more powerful for his level.I don't have a problem asking a player to tone it down. If he won't, I also don't have a problem parting ways.</blockquote>
