View Poll Results: How many wraithstrike threads are too many?
At What Point Are There Too Many Wraithstrike Threads?
Browsing the rules forum, I just noticed the top four threads (not including stickies) are ALL about wraithstrike. Is it just me or is this a bit silly? Or maybe I'm just out of touch and John Q. Public demands threads on wraithstrike in mass quantity.
My Dm started one around christmas. That got me to the point of starting one to see what the enviroment is in raising the spell since I feel that it is too low. Then with regards to builds another started. Then another to ask what the spell is, and then one referencing wraithstrike in regards to DR and finally your about so many threads. Bravo!!!!

I wanted to vote, but there was not an option of "There can never be too many threads about Wraithstrike"

You know, I noted earlier that there were too many wraithstrike threads, but a mod deemed it okay as long as there was some vague variation in detailed topics. What yah gonna do?
If there are lots of topics about wraithstrike, with lots of complaining and connected arguments related to DR, then maybe someone at WotC trolling through here on their spare time will see it and think to themselves, "Hey, maybe there is something up with this spell that we need to deal with."

Here, here. Maybe but doubtful.

It's been how many years since the spell was first published?
I mean, they have not even fixed Divine Metamagic and multiple nightsticks!
Moved to Meta, as this is not a question about D&D rules or character building/tweaking.
As for the poll, topics on this board come and go. I'm not really concerned about how many threads there are on a particular topic, until one of two things happen:
1) The number of threads on a particular topic becomes such that it starts edging out almost all other threads over a long period of time (e.g., having dozens of threads on a single topic), or
2) The threads are invariably descending into the same rude, rancorous arguments.
If either of these things are happening, by all means report it to the mods. But at this point, four threads does not a tsunami make, and I've not seen that the wraithstrike threads are invariably descending into rudeness and rancor. If I'm wrong on the latter point, please report specific offending posts.
One last note: being a moderator carries few benefits, and we all have full-time jobs, and so I'd love it if y'all would make our lives easier by using the boards to carry on genuine, respectful conversations. While I can see the temptation to use the boards as a tool to persuade WOTC of a cause, that's not their purpose, and I'd rather y'all not try to artificially inflate the number of Wraithstrike threads in order to send some sort of message. And we would, of course, look very unhappily on anyone who tried to finesse points 1 or 2 above in order to force the mods to step in. I don't think anyone would do that, but I just figured I'd mention it in case the powergamers got hold of the idea .
