    If your entire concept relies on the graces of the DM, it isn’t a good concept.

    A DM could let a level 1 wizard cast meteor strike if they wanted, nothing can stop them.

      NGL, as a forever-GM, I take personal pride in “allowing” all sorts of shenanigans at char gen & beyond with a gentle disclaimer toward balance (see: prev. post re: red=fireproof scarf) like a sort of karmic layaway. Nothing stopping the bright-eyed folk hero fresh outta the noob fields from inheriting a Holy Avenger… when said blade is secretly a storied artifact named in the obscure scripture of a rising cult power, et al. 🤷🏼‍♂️

        Yes, definitely.

        The OP-ness of your players doesn’t matter, as long as they are all equally OP in their own way.

        You can always just use higher CR creatures.
