It's mostly because you're actually better off that way if you need them voted in with due speed. I'll give you an example--let's say you really wanted my character to have those clothes that change styles from S:CoT. If you had proposed them separately, they would have already been voted in (At least by me). If you had proposed them with 1 or 2 other things, I also probably would have voted them in. But by just proposing the whole book, which I'm not ready to vote YES to in its entirity, you don't get the clothes yet. Can you see what I'm saying? I've seen it happen before on LEW. To give an example, the Knight generally generates discussion, I have found, whereas Beguiler and Duskblade are universally liked by most everyone, so proposing all the PHII classes together might slow down the latter two. I'm not saying you can't propose them all together (you can choose to propose "All WotC material ever published" if you want), I'm just trying to give a suggestion to helpFerrix said:

That's the theory. In practise, I've seen that the threads with lengthy proposals are less likely to be read by the judges quickly because they want to wait until they have enough free time to read through the whole proposal (I've seen LEW proposals that get through with lightning speed that are very short, and longer ones are sometimes left alone for quite a well, though this isn't the rule, of course). The ones that are most likely to have a quick piecemeal approval are thus the ones with only a few pieces, as I mentioned. It's like my professor always said--only ever make a single point per e-mail or else they'll focus on the easiest point to answer and not answer the one you wanted, or perhaps answer neither. Another corollary of this is that the fewer the pieces, the more likely you are to have yours focused on--if we get into a big discussion on Wu Jen, it would slow down the approval of other classes in that thread (because we wouldn't have time to discuss them yet), whereas in their own thread they might be approved much faster.Ferrix said:
)Ah, yeah--you'd need the Beguiler for that. Unless you wanted to make a Master Cryptologist feat that gives you +1 to Forgery and Decipher Script and Forgery as a class skill or something.Ferrix said:
Plus the Archivist actually gets some great uses out of those knowledge skills. Heck, with Draconic Archivist, you can Dark Knowledge all those damn WarforgedFerrix said:
