Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sammael" data-source="post: 4905013" data-attributes="member: 4475">Reduction in the number of buffs at one time is intentional and in line with my overall decision to reduce the amount of various bonuses in play. Note that one character can still receive practically an unlimited amount of various buffs, as long as there are enough spellcasters willing to maintain them.FWIW, I think the buffs are one of the more broken aspects of 3.x. If you take them into account when designing encounters and then the players don't actually buff, the encounters end up overpowering. If you don't take them into account, the encounters end up being cakewalks. IMO, there's really no good way to deal with them other than limiting the feasable number of buffs in effect at one time and making the buffs less important in the grand scale of things.</blockquote>
