The average age of my players is probably around the mid to upper 30’s, and most of the players have been playing since basic DnD, with the least experienced player starting at 1st ed. And yes, I will have to agree that are group isn’t power gamers. Recently my wizard players stated one of the spells he wanted, out of a non-core book, was too weak for it’s 5th level and had no problem with me house ruling it to a 6th level spell, without me even mentioning it, so yes, they aren’t power gamers and don’t want to be. My players like keeping things very balanced. Also, most of them don’t typically multiclass. Your suggestion about letting the Arcane Trickster in our group have the PS feat and playtest it may work but the consensus of our group is that it is unbalanced and they don’t want it in our campaign. This wasn’t just my opinion, but an overall opinion made by the group. Truthfully, none of the group has stated they believed this feat was balanced. Also, as you may be able to understand from the posting I quoted from one of my players is that my group tends to stick to the core books, with occasionally bringing in stuff from supplements or accessories. There is nothing wrong with this, it’s just how we like to play. I have heard on multiple occasions (from our group) about how the gaming industry puts out all these books and we pay for them, only to come back, create another edition and reprint everything with a few modifications. How many of us have boxes and boxes of previous editions stacked away in closets. Many of my players won’t buy the 3.5 books since we have mostly houseruled what we felt were unbalanced and they don't wish to donate more money to WizCo. Neither will they buy the supplements or accessories, I have no problem with this and understand their reasoning. We spent all this money on 3.0 books, now that 3.5 has come out WizCo is reprinting the 3rd ed books for the new edition, more ways to take our money.     Sorry about going off on a tangent, just trying to point out our groups’ style.     Due to our groups’ style, I brought this feat up for debate on this board so as to see what others thought of it, I’m definitely getting a lot of opinions and suggestions. Hopefully the above references to our gaming style may help you all understand why I think the way I do. My problem isn’t as much with the unbalance of the PS feat, but with the so-called disadvantages of multiclassing. The choice was made, the player knew. Are Arcane Trickster has no problem with his current spellcaster level, and thoroughly enjoys his character.</blockquote>
