[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 6718212, member: 6790260"] As I've said in the race and alignment threads: this is not a race to the top. This is a race to the [I]bland[/I]. The class, race, and alignment that [I]offend people the least[/I] are practically guaranteed to be the winners. Which is why we got a Half-Elf Bard (and why Human nearly won), and why we're highly likely though not guaranteed to get NG. People dogpiled the Chaotic alignments early on, and now the Evil ones are following (though LG is currently in bad shape); unless there's a substantial change in the next 24 hours of voting, I'm fairly sure the final showdown will be between Lawful Neutral and Neutral Good. The latter has had no less than 6 people upvote it, because (as of this post) it's currently still at 20, and I know at least two people have down-voted it (I did, and so did Yunru). I'm tempted to create an inversion of this--a gauntlet-style thing. Start with the races, and remove human because it's already well-known to be the champ. People can promote the thing they like best by +2, and one thing they like least by -1. If something exceeds a total of (say) 50 or 100, it gets removed from the list and put on a "winner's list" in that order. The running ends when the penultimate option passes the finish line. What do you think? Seems like it would still lead to interesting results, without having the "7 dedicated haters kill it" problem--since all but the last option will, eventually, pass the finish line. VM is one of the best things to happen to Bards. It's a pity that many 5e players will think it's something innovated by 5e, rather than a borrowing from 4e.
