"negative level", not a real one.  Perhaps he could tie it into the campaign as a curse layered by the Big Bad Evil Guy that can only be raised by defeating him and destroying his Crystal Dodad of Doom ... of course, when that happens the campaign is over, but it gives you a goal and reduces your overall power level.If you're NOT totally overshadowing the rest of the party but the GM is just annoyed that you've got abilities that he's not sure how to deal with ... then he needs to limit source material BEFORE the game begins.  For my part, I knew I didn't like VoP before I ever let it into a game.  I'd say the rest of the gaming group should get some input.  If everybody else is tired of your character ... then either they've got issues with him or with you.--fje</blockquote>
