[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 3481180, member: 16285"] Why is alright to make an inference for someone else's statements but to be defensive when someone else does it to yours? I would say for adaptability - which is another core quality for any DM. To adapt to player's methods and utilization of abilities. For which you are entitled. This comes down to a defintion (and opinion) of what is "too powerful". I see things more in terms of "situational". In certain situations certain PC types and build excel. Again - situational. A Player and DM should work together to come up with a viable (and fun to play) character based on the game style being run. Players will create PCs that take advatange of a DM's style of playing. If the DM does not adjust to changes then he will cease to be effective in his role. The game will become demanding, the players will become impatient and lose interest or become frustrated and either way the game will no longer be fun. Change is the way of all things. "A relationship is like a shark. It needs to keep moving or it dies. What we have here isa a dead shark" Woody Allen from the movie "Annie Hall" [/QUOTE]
