Poll

Which of the classes would you NOT allow in a game that you were DMing because they are "too game-breaking"?  (assume they are optimized, and the campaign would run up to 20th level)

Incantatrix (Broken primarily because of metamagic effect buffing cheese but get alot of other really good benefits on top of it)
Rainbow servant(full casting progression by raw) 10/5x full casting class (Broken for access to all cleric spells, most evocations, and domain spells spontaneously)
Shadowcraft mage (broken because of access to any conjuration/summoning/calling evocation quasi-spontaneously and doesn't have to pay spell component costs)
Any Cleric with DMM:etc but mainly persist (broken for being able to persist its highest level buffs at low level)
Thrallherd (broken for the same reasons leadership is broken, only its better)
Anima Mage (broken for being able to persist as above, but also is a full caster-1 AND has access to decent level binder magic)
None, all of these builds are fine, only builds that create infinite loops, nigh infinite abilities, like pun-pun etc are truly broken
Other, and let me post it, and tell you why.

Yes ... and No.

Yes in terms of doing something T.O.-ish.

No because normal entry sucks.
The trick to get in as a non-illithid only just got discovered.
Two class features can be had, the old fashioned way,
by multiclassing or building a better dual caster.
Getting an SA or SD off 2 creatures is the different thing
it does.  Corner case and mostly DM dependant.
Cleric, Wizard etc, are strictly better on the next 50 things
a build should do.
Your codpiece is a mimic.

Inside my planar bubble you need to make a DC Walrus Green save or I drain 400 wizard points for 1D Tentacle rounds.  What's that? You can't even USE your wizard points? :lmao
