kitty, there's a huge difference between Insect Swarm/Plague and fodder. The druid's spellcaster not only does continual damage to the target, it also prevents spellcasting and hits all enemies... to instantly nullify enemy spellcasters matches Annoyningman's ability to turn/slay undead.

Furthermore, in my party, I look a little beyond pure powergaming. I've played the real D&D game with a guy who is basically exactly like Anomen. He was such an annoying, arrogant bastard that sessions evolved into nothing but arguements with him. They almost came to blows on more than one occasion. Suffice it to sayit wasn't long at all before everyone else quite going to sessions... leaving him alone with the DM.

I think any "party" that has to deal with the Anomen character would react in the same manner. Which is why I'd take a level 8/8 Jaheira over 18 Anomen any day.
