[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 1576283, member: 19675"] I'm not saying you should you should show favoritism, but it mystifies me you think that there would be a difference in damage dealt if another PC had the same feats. What is the Feat or PrCl combo that lets him do this kind of damage? How powerful are his arms and armor? And 2 PCs with roughly the same feat selection will do similar damage. You have run smack dab into the teeth of the Law of Unintended Consequences. Look at WOTC's other big game, M:TG. Certain cards were incredibly powerful when combined with other, particular cards, resulting in near certain victory when successfully played. For tournaments, WOTC couldn't ban the combo, so they banned one or both of the cards in the combo. They didn't want unbeatable combos that made the game less enjoyable, but they still occurred. Here, Likudice has found a combination of Feats & PrCls permitted in your campaign that you think allow him to do excessive damage. LoUC. I see only 2 choices: 1) Ban the feats (or PrCls) that causing the massive damage problem. You cannot rationally expect someone not to use a combination of permitted game features just because it doesn't meet your standards of style. Unless there is a hard and fast rule, that style boundary is going to be broken. It isn't fair to say "You can do this, but if I find it uncool in some way down the road, I'll gripe at EN World." It isn't favoritism, its neutering. You are effectively saying to Likudice-"These other players can use this feat properly, but you abuse it, so I really think you ought not use it." 2) You and Likudice should go your seperate ways (hopefully amicably), at least as gamers.
