[QUOTE="Cameron, post: 3662730, member: 52735"] DMM is really only useful for a certain build: that of the warrior Cleric. You want to persist things like Divine Power, etc., to take over the role of the tank. In that regard, it would be powerful, but is it really any more powerful than the feats that allow you to have a 25+HD Large Gold Dragon mount? If you want to do other things (say being a Dweomerkeeper in FR) DMM is not all that flash as you would be feat starved. How about you want to play with TWF? You would be running into feat issues smart quick, which means you'd have to toss up between TWF and DMM. DMM also makes it difficult for the Epic feat that reduces the cost of metamagic as you need 4 metamagic feats to qualify. I have run into such issues making DMM warrior Clerics. Having made about 4 such "DMM abuse" PCs, I can confirm that feats are a big problem for them. The problem being along the lines of "no free feats" to "I don't have enough to do what I want". I would rate it as a solid line of feats *if* you decide to go the Cleric Warrior path. For other forms of Cleric, it can be a major hinderance. Thus, I would rate it like Power Attack. Good for some, bad for others, and thus, a middle of the line to powerful feat, but not an overpowered one. [/QUOTE]
