[QUOTE="Thasmodious, post: 4921954, member: 63272"] Both points true. My group hit the accidental problem in a high level game we played in 3e. Player decided since we were starting high level a necromancer focused cleric of Nerull would be fun. He had a spell that raised the dead as shadows and kept 4 shadows around him at all times which he used to drain the str from anything we fought which was very cool, but also very powerful. Then later he began really utilizing the necromancy and raising armies of zombies, wights, skeletons, so he'd have 30 "henchman" to cover every round of combat. What was cool quickly became very overpowered (we were doing part of WLD at the time and would often just open a door, send in the undead army, and wait, saving all our spells and abilities for tougher fights). If he lost a bunch in the fight, he'd just raise new ones from the fresh corpses. That's a decent example of both accidentally overpowered and the fault of the system (even without the undead army his CODzilla and my warmage were so far ahead of the warblade and assassin in the group that it wasn't funny).
