I have a level 12 Monk with the Vow of Poverty and have been playing in a campaign for a few weeks now. During the game I have been really kicking arse and have been nigh unstoppable. Seeing this the DM did a little research of his own and said that the Vow of Poverty was way too overpowered.He made an argument that even though I can’t use/possess magic items that the magical bonuses I would gain from it would cost more than it would if a regular character got it. He then went ahead and gave me a +4 level adjustment. His rational for the actual number of 4 came from comparing the average gold someone would get in a campaign and how much gold it would cost for those abilities given by the Vow of Poverty.After much arguing though he finally said that he will give me a chance to change his mind if my argument was right. He has given till next game to get a good argument.So what I would like to know is if there really are any arguments for either side to whether or not the Vow of Poverty should have a level adjustment.Oh and if anyone is really confused by this then i'll try and clear it up more.</blockquote>
