[QUOTE="ObsidianCrane, post: 4701138, member: 54918"] Firstly you can tweak LFR modules - it says it right there at the start of each module and is the default position for LFR, they call it "DM Empowerment" Secondly WotC modules typically follow the DMG recomendations for "Standard" encounters, that's like playing on Easy mode for most players. So far I've yet to find a problem with the Math progression in actual play at either Heroic or Paragon tier, time will tell. OMG you built a staff wizard with uber defence... I bow before your awesomeness for not actually understanding what I'm talking about at all. Not disputing that its a powerful feat... I'm disputing the contention that its a "must have" feat. Your DMs need to use skill challenges more if you think Combat is the be all and end all of the game. Maybe then the hyper combat optimisation of characters would be less of a focus. (I know my combat orientated characters are really boring to have in a skill challenge.) And others hold up the maths like its the only factor in the evaluation of feats, powers and game play, its not. I have issues with the feat, which have been happily addressed by other posters, but I also have issues with people acting like the feat will automatically appear on every character ever made.
