[QUOTE="Fridayknight, post: 5555934, member: 87391"] You want the person who has put time and effort into not only finding a suitably adequate build for use in combat but also into the character as a whole. The character seems solid, not OP - and there is no cheese. The feats are there to be chosen (though some may not like 'feat taxes' such as expertise because almost all players will want to have them) and I will go through these now: Staff expertise - if you are challenging your players a decent amount in combat encounters then they will all want to have this (if they don't it is because they do not know about it or they are part of a movement that thinks that neutering their characters makes them better for roleplay - I will tell you this now, it doesn't work [my first character was neither well built nor well played < getting killed in the second session] -) Mark of scribing - you should only be using this in an Eberron campaign < check this < and if you are then any serious player would also be able to pick up one Resilient focus - another feat tax < not much more to say than these are useful and available to your other players ___ So, to conclude: the player may indeed be nagging and annoying, this should not be encouraged, but it may just be easier to survive as a group by retraining some of the 'lax' people (if they are too chilled to do it you can) to have a similar standard and to then use a slightly harder level of monsters. Human hybrids are playable - but why does he only play these? Welcome to ENworld, FK [/QUOTE]
