I did not come on this message board looking for a simple solution, rather I came seeking a creative solution that I perhaps had not thought of. I did not want to simply start banning more things until the power level was where I wanted it, hence my last statement in my initial post "Any ideas on how to keep the power level down without just flat out going  ban-happy?" I have rarely had to deal with one character being too powerful I must admit. I think this is for two reasons" 1) I have spent the vast majority of my DM'ing in 2nd edition. I have always thought 2E was the best. It was much easier to keep down the power level but I found that I did not usually have to as 2E was very balanced with a few exceptions. This is only my 3rd or 4th time running a 3.5 game although I have played in many. 2)  Usually the groups are "mine". By that I mean I recruited all the players and I am the primary DM. Everyone gets a trial period and I simply ask the ones I don't like not to return. This has been one of the rare occasions where I joined someone else's recruitment ad. I really like this group and I don't want to leave it. As far as not caring about my problem player: I gave it some thought and realized that I have told him several times I thought his character was un-balanced for the group and it needed to be toned down. His refusal to do so leads me to believe that he does not care about me, my feelings or my game so why should I care about him, his feelings or his character. I have been nothing but nice up to this point and it has gotten me nowhere.</p></blockquote><p></p>
