Thousands of posts... on a board about RPGs. I called them all out by name. How can using Google take a while to find it? ...And if you completely disregard the system, you're not really playing the game. It's the difference between a RPG and a drama group. Always assume all sources unless...

Yes, but, given that y'all have a bunch of posts, that seemed unlikely. Eh. Fair enough.

It's equally true that your liking Ricky Gervais, or any other actor, writer, or so on, does not mean that the quality of their work it high.

I gave you several options. Well, technically it can but that requires a hell of a lot of work. I concede the point, it seems my knowledge of the minutiae of 3e/3.5 is not as encyclopedic as I'd have hoped. ...For many spells, that's not too relevant. And, anyways, spellgifted is a wonderful...

Not at all. He was arguing that popularity was indicative of quality. In other words, no it really isn't.

This is an optimization board. I expect basic knowledge of the rules. Is this an unreasonable assumption? Oh, so now following the rules is cheating? Oh, hey, good to know. These forums need a rolleyes smiley. You weren't paying attention. Why don't you go double-check my CL figures? Actually...

I apologize, then. It seemed reasonable to me to expect basic knowledge of CL-boosters in an optimization forum, and thus I assumed you were attempting to distract from the point.

That depends. Are you feigning obliviousness, or do you just lack any real grasp on informal logic? If you're going to try and insult me, please be a little more creative than "no u."

How many way do you want me to list this off? There's spellgifted, Arcane Thesis, and reserves of strength. There, you can turn into any creature of the appropriate types with 7HD or less. You're welcome. If you don't like AT, you can cut it and be stuck at 5HD, which means Reserves of...

So now we're pretending that CL-boosting isn't trivially easy? And if it effectively can't miss you, you're kinda going to have to beg your casters to save you, which seems like it doesn't make you a terribly effective combatant. Unless we're talking Tucker's Kobolds, no they really aren't a...

Looks like I owe the 3.5 designers an apology.

Alter Self. You're welcome. Not at all. The druidic ways are a belief. They can grant divine power, but there's no reason someone could follow it without being a druid. In fact, the idea that "following the druidic ways" makes one take levels of druid is campaign-destroying with the implication...

He has no "new, ridiculous powers." Every ability I mentioned is over a decade old, most over two or three. First, he doesn't breath underwater, he just doesn't have to breath. Second, you're joking about the Thor thing, right? You're calling anyone else ridiculous when Thor is in the picture...

...Precocious Apprentice is "high optimization?" Oh, hey, I haven't seen this one in a few months. Says who? Why can't a wizard follow the ways of the druid. And, anyways, "following the ways of the druid" is RP, especially for a class that's already got some decent, nature-themed divine magic...

And you're wrong. Your statement is using one unrelated thing to argue for another. Quality and sales are totally divorced in the right genres, and comedy aimed at the lowest common denominator is one of them. Oh, hey, blatant fallacies, insults, and terribly-done sarcasm, all in one package...

Except this is wrong because anyone who doesn't want to be hit shouldn't bother wasting any resources in AC. Uh, no. Very, very no. Judging what your AC should be based on enemies that don't matter is a terrible way to calculate it. Especially since your calculation is only accurate on things...

You do understand how one begins in the world of acting and filmmaking, right? And? Young Earthism, climate deniers, and Twilight all tell me that quality and popularity aren't connected. "It's not Dubya, therefore it's not that bad?" That's such a bad argument I don't think I need to say more...

... I can't decide whether the fact that you googled up your stats without double-checking them or that you misquoted your googled stats is more insulting. Even if we take Stout's estimate as correct, you really should read the book before misquoting statistics at me. Not really, no. In fact...

Whoa.

There are a couple problems. The first is assuming that there is any talent, or really anything besides poor taste and luck, behind his "success." Luck is just as huge of a factor in film as it is in sports. Second is there are call girls who can wind up with thousands after a night out. That...
