3.5 is inherently imbalanced, but is that really an issue?

[Quertus]

Unfortunately, I'm unable to find it for quoting, but I remember vividly as some OP tell about how one player "overshadowing their whole party"
Herewith, the OP played as a Wizard, and the "gamebreaker" - as a single-class Fighter...

You mean, someone other than me?

Although, really, the party Monk outshines us all.
