    Of the WotC Forums and the OTT

    Posts: 2 Now how many posts do you have in this thread? Oh, yeah... Hey, funny how that works. I do believe my point stands.

    Of the WotC Forums and the OTT

    Did you really follow us here? Uh, sorry, but I'm calling shenanigans. Every single OTTer was banned. Anyone who questioned the OTTers' bans were banned and their posts deleted. Now it seems that most people at the Exodus thread in YMTC was banned. Yet, despite that, most other people are...

    Tumble too powerful?

    No, it wasn't, because you were changing what you were asking for in every other post. You really want to see an unbeatable wizard at level 7? Fine, Elven Domain Generalist 5/Mindbender 1/Whatever 1. Alacritous Cognition, Versatile Spellcaster, Spell Mastery, Uncanny Forethought, and Mindsight...

    Making an "Arcane Paladin" (Was: Martial Arcanists: I need a reminder)

    Yes, but they're not very good at it. It's wasted investment. Yes, but it's a bad idea. Trust me, getting first level spells in a banned school is not worth losing nines, especially if you banned Evocation. Reserve feats are bad. Expensive and don't do much. From what it sounds like, the...

    Yep. I think that's what everyone got. I wholeheartedly agree. That said, I'm still keeping an eye on the exodus thread in YMTC. This place is cool, but it doesn't have the same feel as the Cave. Has anyone been able to contact Hoodsie or Draco?

    The problem is choice

    This is very true. Bad examples, but this is right in concept at least. That's... awfully uncharitable. And highly unlikely, given his rather awful choices. But if that's really the case, your problems extend much farther than just killing his character and making him have a weaker one will...

    Tumble too powerful?

    I actually had this all broken down and responded to each individual point, but I realized upon reading it they all boiled down to the same thing: Your interpretations, for lack of a more suitable word, of rules in this thread are baseless, you've changed standards and refused to actually define...

    The problem is choice

    Except it really doesn't even then. That's the problem. Balance problems like riding dogs being stronger than fighters? Problems like the the cleric being the best melee combatant from level 1? Melee has been shafted from the start. Grease, Sleep, Color Spray, and Stinking Cloud are all calling...

    The problem is choice

    I'm sorry, but that doesn't work. Barbarians are weak. Barbarians without Whirling Frenzy and Frenzied Berserker or Runescarred Berserker? Very weak. Fighters are very weak, but fighters without Imperious Command, Zhentarim variant, and so on are incredibly weak. Paladins are weak, but paladins...

    The problem is choice

    What level is his character? The group? Also, can you post his build? Odds are, if it even begins to approach "ridiculous," then it's not actually a legal build. Or, let me put it this way: Sneak attack is awful. It might look impressive at level 3, when he's doing an extra couple D6 plus some...

    I know! It's good clean family fun to cut the still-beating hearts out of infidels and offer them to The Unconqu-I mean, Pelor. But bleeding and cooking human corpses? That's just uncool, man. That's nasty, and totally not okay to show to kids.

    Tumble too powerful?

    Uncanny Forethought says hi. When it comes down to basically complete fiat, though, it does. Then your experience is wrong. Then you're using the wrong spells. Because by the time you get free persists, of course you never have any slots at all. Then you can't read. Hardly my problem. Not my...

    Uh... I can't speak for PK, but I thought the rule was that it didn't count if it was in Vegas. That would be a great idea, except all of the guys here have been very thoroughly banned. Good to know. Thanks for the link! I think he got the links before the rout, but I can't guarantee it. Also...

    Tumble too powerful?

    Or four. But if you really need more, Collegiate Wizard is cool, even if your DM is being insane, although by the time you get teleport, there's no excuse not to have a complete spellbook. Uh... So now you only have the highest level spells you can cast? 'Cuz last I checked, you keep lower level...

    Calm Animals on Magical Beasts?

    No. Animal is a type, not a subtype. No, nothing at all.

    Tumble too powerful?

    Except yes it does. Yes it really does. They can get all the spells they really need at the earliest they can get them. At one, MAYBE two spell per encounter, I'd love to know how many encounters you have during the adventuring day. And I'm struggling to know how incompetent your fellow players...

    Tumble too powerful?

    Uh, yes they do. They have plenty of AoEs. In fact, all of their good spells can be cast with plenty of room between them and the enemy and with no line of site, and that's ignoring how easy it is for wizards, or anyone, really, to break LoS. They should be. Again, even if they were never...

    Tumble too powerful?

    Uh, guys? In what world is dodging AoOs overpowered? Everyone already has five-foot steps. It's not hard to get 10' on those "five-foot" steps, too, with magic items. And that's ignoring free movement like Anklets of Translocation. Tumble is hardly an impressive improvement. On the subject of...

    Keep calm? Why would you ever want to keep calm when insulting and denigrating those who you disagree with on minor and meaningless matters? That, like, takes the whole fun out of it! Next you'll be telling us to bleed and cook the humans we ritualistically slaughter in Pelor's name before...

    Should movies just not explain the science?

    EDIT: And I'm an idiot who can't even post in the right window. Regardless, EE's idea sounds fine, but nothing, in my mind, will ever beat the technobabble of Stargate.
