In the Lone Wolf series Lone Wolf gets a powerful artifact, the Sommerswerd, very early in his adventures, specifically in book 2 where Lone Wolf is more or less equivalent to a level 6 D&D character (I would say the Lone Wolf series starts out with Lone Wolf being at level 5 in FFTD and that he gains a level upon the completion of each book, if we were to put Lone Wolf in a D&D format.) Some LW fans say he should not have acquired such a powerful artifact so early on or that he shouldn't've kept it as it creates a tremendous imbalance. I would say that yes it does, it immediately gives you a tremendous +8 CS bonus and that's where the imbalance lies. It also makes you immune to most magical attacks and able to do double damage on undead but I would say the main imbalance is the big CS bonus you get. That being said this is how I think it should've worked, when you first get the Sommerswerd in book 2, due to your relatively low level of experience as a Kai Lord, you're only able to unlock its powers enough to get a +2 bonus. As you become more advanced and experienced you're able to unlock more of its powers, perhaps you should be able to unlock an additional +2 CS bonus upon the completion of each consecutive book in the kai series so that by the time you complete SOTS you're able to unlock its full +8 CS.
