[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 2891175, member: 1165"] Sometimes there's more than a little to be concerned about. Sometimes the DM isn't a genius (most people aren't) and can't guarantee they'll catch problems before they, well, cause a problem. It's a bit late to nerf an ability after it's been used to kill the BBEG, right? The DM has to control the material going into their game.
