[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4955869, member: 40961"] My biggest problem with banning material is that there's a lot of material that's completely fair when used in most situations, but only broken when used in certain others. For example, the lasting frost / wintertouched feat pair. Our wizard has those feats. But he focuses on both fire and ice attacks, and took a paragon path that relates to traps. He gets good mileage out of them, but not unfair mileage. I wouldn't want to ban those feats because he's using them in their intended manner, and he's not overusing them. But if we instead had a rogue who was arguing that by the letter of the rule these feats, when used in conjunction with a frost weapon, give him nearly continuous combat advantage and +5 damage, then I'd want to ban them. So that's my conundrum, and why little to nothing is banned in my group. I may have a problem down the line if I have to retroactively ban something, but right now things are alright. [/QUOTE]
