Things like Bead of Karma or however people get super-powered Holy Words... would not. Thoughts?

Tequila_Sunrise 01-31-08, 05:28 PM	Wow, this is a problem in your game? Why don't you just disallow classes and items that twink CL to insane levels?
StruckingFuggle 01-31-08, 06:07 PM	It's not a problem in my games, but the problem that it could be a problem came to mind (same with how I, as the DM, briefly had a pc who jacked his caster level - at level 6 - for fire spells high enough to break the rule, and a PC could've done the same)... in case it ever would be, well... The rule was an idea that crossed my mind; and I was curious what other people thought. Honestly, rather than banning anything specific - because it's probably benign on its own - I was thinking that addressing the problem more directly would be the better answer.
