[QUOTE="Gez, post: 824482, member: 1328"] When reading the title, I thought it was a thread about how to frustrate EN Worlders (like ENWorlder Frustrating 101), not about EN Worlder that are frustrating. That said... Mystic Theurge. The class is surprising, we never saw a class like that. Most of the knee-jerk reactions comes simply from the novelty factor -- it's a reactionnary reflex. It's new, it's bad. That said, after having given it more than a little thought, it is actually a bit overpowered -- that's why I advocate suppressing its +1s at level 4 and 8, so that it gains only 8 spellcaster levels in each class over the course of 10 levels. Low-magic. I dislike the trend, but simply avoid low-magic houserule threads. Not interested. D&D is about flashy magic, multiple races, gods and faeries frolicking with mortals, etc. What annoy me is rather all the rants about how [i]arcane[/i] spellcasters are too powerful and need to be nerfed -- exempli gratias, the hubub about [i]haste[/i]. The only nerfing of divine spellcaster [i]ever[/i] that was ever asked was giving a save or a damage limit to [i]harm[/i]. But wizards and sorcerers, they would get a d1 HD, no BAB, and a [i]negative[/i] saving throw progression, with halved number of spell per day and a spellcraft check to cast successfully, you would [i]still[/i] get people whining about how they are munchkin... Kalamar. Don't care. The world sounds too much like calmar for my tastes -- I don't want to pay money for a seafood setting. What's next, Societies of Squid ? Countries of Clams ? I don't go to the Kenzer boards. Paladin is a PrC. Yes, this claim annoy me too. I just ignore it. You don't need to fill requirements to heed the call, all you need is a brave and noble soul. On the other hand, people that want Blackguard as a core class annoy me also. The dark powers are picky about who may be their champions, and they don't tolerate failure. [/QUOTE]
