[QUOTE="Sekhmet, post: 5962743, member: 97602"] [MENTION=85123]kingius[/MENTION] Having infinite actions or unlimited wishes, using AMA to become an immortal, invulnerable deity with all the powers of all the deities (by level 5, no less) with infinite ability points (and thereby skills and saves), or any of the other awesome cheese provided by loopholes/ability combinations/the developers not thinking when creating does not mean "balanced because the DM can do it, too".
