Oddly enough, three of the biggest offenders are found in the core rules.Power AttackMetamagic RodsMulticlassing (too good, too easy, and no drawbacks--it should be less beneficial and have more drawbacks)Sudden Metamagic FeatsDivine MetamagicDivine InsightWarbladeElusive TargetRadiant Servant of PelorFrenzied BerzerkerCraft Contingent SpellVow of PovertyWarshaperNow Power Attack in and of itself is not that bad, but if I take Power Attack off the list of things that I think are overpowered, a number of other things immediately jump on that I have a problem with, such as:Leap AttackShock TrooperDervishWraithstrikeExotic Weapon Masterand more...If Power Attack were just toned down a touch so that it wasn't so easy to add stacking "doubling" bonuses, then I think all this stuff is fine. If the bonuses are limited to "half-double" then that would probably eliminate most problems I have with it.But overall, I think 3.5 is a well-designed, well-balanced system.</blockquote>
