[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 5777194, member: 8461"] He never once claimed that it doesn't have problems; you made that up. This manages to completely ignore everything I said about how epic 3.X is itself unbalanced and that U_K did a good job with what he had to work with. Surely even you should be able to realize that, given your obsession with "balanced" material even after several dozen, or several hundred, levels in a 20-level system. That is a matter of opinion; stop pretending that yours has any weight. Really? I look forward to seeing what "better" system for epic and divine-level play in 3.X that you use. The only complete disaster is your sweeping generalizations, which others have disproven through actual play using the IH material; check U_K's forums for more on that. This is another ridiculously sweeping generalization, which comes from the power-gaming mentality that U_K correctly cited you for having previously. The IH doesn't necessitate nor lend itself to "broken" builds any more than does any other supplement - you have to be actively trying to use it in that manner. Hence why you always seem to see things that way. There's so much that's wrong with this that I don't even know where to start. First of all, your use of the relative term "bad" like it's some sort of absolute is a major point of failure in your assertion. Secondly, when you go on about how your optimized examples can kill anything less optimized, that is indeed a matter of power-gaming over role-playing. You're making the equivalent argument of saying that because someone can build Pun-Pun, 3.5 is a broken game. It's not an excuse because no excuses are necessary - he doesn't owe you anything. Objection overruled. Good to know that you get to decide if U_K will update the work or not, and that you get to decide when it is and isn't finished. Most people would leave that up to the author/publisher, but apparently it actually falls on your shoulders. [/QUOTE]
