Remove the ability to gain (Su) stuff and it's much better. For instance, your AMF cage match should have involved a Shapechange into a beholder instead of an antimagic field. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Lay on Hands. It makes most undead boss monsters pointless because the paladin can hit them with a huge chunk of damage via a no save touch attack.Turn Undead. It's too weak and works backwards. Skeletons and Zombies should be the easiest things to turn, but very quickly become impossible for a cleric whose level is witin one of their CR. After 7th level or so almost all undead require either a big investment in turning or a very lucky roll to turn them, when they're turnable at all.Wish. Again, not because it's too powerful. The 5,000xp price tag means it never gets cast, while Miracles happen all the time. Either Miracle needs to be lowered in power or Wish needs to be free when duplicating spell effects.Polymorph and Polymorph any Object are broken when using just the core rules. They nullify the need for most LA races, especially the ones that are focused on physical combat. They also outmatch buff spells of equal and sometimes higher level.Epic Spell creation is broken. It's too hard to get simple effects and too easy to get vastly powerful effects.Character wealth levels at epic levels are broken. Money is too low to get epic items until you're well past 25th. This is probably more a problem with the x10 multiplier than the wealth levels.If you consider anything in the SRD as core, there are several broken things in psionics, such as the powers whose DCs increase at a 1:1 ratio for power points spent.If you're playing an arena game, many of the things that are balanced by having a short duration become broken because resources and durations matter a lot less.I don't know if it's broken, but the inability to get +2 Wis and +2 Cha player races at +0 LA annoys me.Animal Growth is borderline broken. They were smart enough to reel in Righteous Might but left it's multi-targetted version alone.Entangle isn't broken, especially in a dungeon campaign, but it's probably too strong for a first level spell.</blockquote>
