[QUOTE="Shin Okada, post: 4838429, member: 1956"] First of all, you should expect that rules in Dragon Magazines are less well-balanced comparing to the rules in supplement books. Some rules in supplements are broken, too. But so many rules in Dragon Magazines are much broken. But in the cases you have mentioned, I don't think them to be "too broken". Some improvement in Favored Enemy and you worry that the player takes only 3 levels of ranger? Will it really give him big advantages? Ranger needs more levels to take better Favored Enemy bonuses and wider selections. Some improvement against a specific creature type. For a Monk? And you worry that some PC take only 3 levels of Monk class? How often people take exactly 3 levels of monk? I can think of some rather popular prestige class builds such as Monk 1/something/something or Monk 2/something/something, or Monk 5+/something/something. But Monk 3? Is that popular enough to worry about? Also, monk is not a strong standard class anyway, isn't it? I rarely worry that something slightly improves monk class break game balance. [/QUOTE]
