The issue with the Diviner, as I see it, is 3 * per day they automatically have the Rock to the Scissors scenario (or vice versa) on top of their amazing cosmic power (which also has huge staying power at endgame).All spellcasters are amazing endgame (I’m certain of it), but this situation for the Diviner harkens to “The Generaliat” problem in editions of yore.A dash of Lanefan, a pinch of Garthanos mixed vigorously with a cup of pemerton (absence of conflict resolution mechanics)!</blockquote>
