[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8808066, member: 6790260"] Effectively a four-way tie at this point is quite surprising. Actually, Tasha's generally has pretty well-received stuff as I understood it? I always thought people just liked to complain about the book because "noooo how dare you break tradition!!!" Likewise, I've been specifically [I]avoiding[/I] targeting subclasses I actually dislike, and instead targeting only those that are doing well (in the top 3.) That's bee a bit muddy this time around, because sometimes we've had four or even five different options all tied for first. Because, in my experience, people rapidly vote down widely-disliked things no matter what, so there's no profit [I]to my preferences[/I] to voting those down faster (and, indeed, often a detriment, if my preference is merely tolerated...which it usually is.) So, I let others downvote the objectionable things, and instead focused on what I expected to be the primary threats, the things actually inclined to [I]last[/I] as opposed to the things I truly have antipathy for. It didn't help that much in the end, likely because downvotes are worth so much more than upvotes. Of course, it also didn't help that [I]for whatever frustrating reason[/I] THIS time being bog-standard ordinary is somehow a sin, while in every previous thread it's been a cardinal virtue bordering on automatic win.
