[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8718298, member: 67338"] i will give another example... stacking templates. I had a DM in 3e (i think it was right before 3.5 but maybe it was 3.5) that had a house rule that level adjustment overlaped not stacked... but you had to make the character make sense... I told him it was a bad idea. I told him it would cause even more imbalances then it would solve... his answer was it didn't make sense that a teifling half dragon would have +1 and +4 level adjustment the 4 was enough... So everyone pitched at least 1 level adjustment races... I had my character be a human and straight wizard... but I helped my then girlfriend make her character and background... she was from his underdark city that was aligned with the black dragons... so she was a drow half dragon, but she also was a descendent of lolth 6 generations back and tiamat 9 generations back... but one of lolths handmaidens was her mother... so she had the following race (try to keep track of the halfs) Drow Half Dragon Half Fiend Half Celestial making all but the highest free... (to be fair we also had a shadow half dragon and a half celestial centaur with the other players) but boy did my girl take the cake... her class was monk and she had more spells then I did as a MUCH higher level wizard.
