THAT's powergaming, not what he is doing. His character is merely appropriate for his level, I suppose.A solution might be, unless your group is very competetive towards each other, to have them actually help each other out with character creation. Could also make them better as a team that way as a side benefit.Now one thing about ingame tactics... his character is obviously a spellcaster to some degree. Many of the spells he will be using have short durations in 3.5, so he has to cast them shortly before entering combat, which takes time. Surprise encounters might catch him off-guard without having a plethora of spells running and will make things harder for him. A greater dispel magic can make most of his buff spells go away in an eyeblink, because of his low caster level, which comes with the above class choices. Also many difficult encounters during a single day means, that he has to divide his resources better, instead of going for full power everytime.I wonder why the cleric 23 isn't causing any troubles.. now that's a tough character, he could easily outperform the eldritch knight, if he just made proper use of all the spells at his disposal. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />ByeThanee</blockquote>
