[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6911377, member: 996"] Well, if I get to define it, I guess not. The spikes thing in 3e was funny, there were a lot of 'spiked' this that and the other, but they tended, disproportionately to be optimal (for something) or break a general rule in an odd way or otherwise just get a little too much credit for what they were. The Spiked Chain is, of course, the earliest, most notorious example. In 4e, there were just a few too many feats and items that enhanced charging and powers that could be used in a charge - the infamous Fey Charger Build, until it was errata'd, was the culmination - it's probably why you can't Charge in 5e without an optional feat. In both cases, it wasn't obvious when the game first came out, though, in retrospect, it became so. 5e, better than two years in, is, in terms of number of supplements, still hovering around 'just came out.' :shrug: Sorry for the digression, just a bit of humor.
