Last update: 10th of May 2011
This thread will try to include all the important threads related to minmaxing and character optimization on this board. I nicked the concept of this thread from
Surreal whose version can be found here: Click for Handy Links (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=482636)/4e Handy Links. (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1040675) For now I will limit myself to reserving two posts in addition to this and hope that is enough for the possible future needs as well. Should anything be added here, give me a holler either via a PM or by posting here and I will consider adding the thread.
For more reference material for optimization work: Lists of stuff (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=2546.0) by
