As a DM I often have to fend off players wanting to play the latest and greatest class they found in a supplement. Often they are unbalancing to my campaign, and all too often, just plain imbalancing (my players have an unerring attraction to overbalanced classes). This might meen only one or two classes in each supplement are overblown, but these are the ones many players pick.And just to be clear, my definition of overblown is that the abilities gained allow the player to hog the session, getting a disproportionate amount of the action/attention.So to refer to your first part, again the DM is the one who needs to scrutinize the PrCs and Feats. I for one cannot blindly trust every or any publisher to create work that will insert cleanly into my campaign (although some are better than others).</blockquote>
