[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 3095648, member: 957"] I think it is absurd to stretch my words to hyperbole. Been there done that. Haven't seen a "number crunching" counter yet that held up to scrutiny. Yes, there are people who persist in demanding it is fine without offering an ojective assessment. But number crunching so far has completely validated the overpowered assessment. Go back and find those threads if you want to re-hash. shrug. You left out a few pieces of the character. You are way short of challenging the point. Check your PH. Wrong. One attack. And then another one attack and another one attack and another one attack. The recovery is extremely simple. Are you saying I'm lying? Level 20 char: +38 to hit (16 STR +5 for levels, +6 Enhance, +5 Inherent = 32) +20 BAB + 11 STR +5 Sword +2 Greater Focus Ran the Age of Worms final module. Includes an item for a +20 to hit vs Kyuss only. I ran it exactly as written, so I'm comfortable with that. As I said, this was the tip of the iceberg. The Kensai also received a minor artifact power up option and the comparison was clear. If my point was based on using the Warblade as written then I'd have no case. That it was nerfed and still excelled at all points throughout the module is a compelling case. Being as a detailed "number crunching" of the WB HAS been presented in prior threads the need to reprove the point does not compel me. I beg to differ. Post #6 was in no way condesending or offensive. Perhaps a nerve was touched and it seemed worse than it really was. But beyond taking this obvious exception, I'll rather stay out of any mod discussion [/QUOTE]
