But is it generally agreed upon tho? Do you have evidence for this statement? Is there a poll or a large base of scientific data on this matter that I'm unaware of...
Highly overpowered compared to what? Power and over power are relative terms... If your party is comprised only by wizards and your DM is Tippy??? Then nothing is overpowered... You gotta define what broken means! Is it: to separate into parts with suddenness or violence; or to render inoperable; or do you mean there is an imbalance between things... Can you please define the meaning of the word broken in this context. When I use "broken" it means that its rendered inoperable as in does not function as in unplayable... what do you mean?Shapechange, Gate, Wish, Simulacrum. Wizards, Druids, Clerics. These are all core and highly overpowered.
But how is it broken and whats the problem? It honestly very difficult having an enlightened conversations when the very definition of the thing we discuss is not clear.That's not this works. If the game has broken content, it has broken content. Whether you choose to use or not doesn't change the fact it's there.
