What were the junior board's most ridiculous arguments?

[awaken_D_M_golem]

In terms of endless argumentation and
what was being argued or "argued"

Paladin rules and regs, hello Dragon Mag other alignments

DMPC also known as the Divination school of magic

was Tiers that much of an argument?


 

[Solo]

Dragonwrought kobolds

[Jackinthegreen]

I recall a lot of bitching back and forth about monks.

[awaken_D_M_golem]

Monks yeah.

DWKobolds were more a C.O. insider beyotch fest, at first, but
then yeah, iirc giantitp still bears the "scars" of those arguments.


oh ---> Katana the unobtainium sword.

[Necrosnoop110]

Junior boards?

Uranium Sword? 

[Libertad]

If by junior boards we mean WotC, then Monkey Grip.

[phaedrusxy]

Fighters vs. Wizards. It was absolutely endless.

[Libertad]

Fighters vs. Wizards. It was absolutely endless.

They still occur on the Paizo boards.  They became numerous enough that one guy's making a megathread collection of them.

And so history repeats itself.

[JohnnyMayHymn]

There was one about pun pun vs Artificer20 if I recall.

And many monk threads were very misleading...  Things like monks are better than druids b/c a monk can singlehandedly kill anything that a druid can ws into; therefore druids are under powered

Alignments and by extension the Paladin's Code of Conduct, order of rules, FAQ isn't rules, Errata is a flawless holy grail, Dragonwought Kobold, Psionics is OP, TOB is too anime and Fighters can't have nice things, Bards & Monks suck or alternatively Monks & Barbarians are OP, the rules don't say I'm wrong and RAW means everything is quoted out of context and defined by my intent ignoring any other opposing rules. Lots of class vs class, notably Fighter vs Wizard which led to JK's Factotum rebuttal. Oh and you can't forget stuff like the Lightning Warrior.

Soro I love you, but that's like 80% of your post topics.   

For the record, interesting threads at gleemax often got ignored. I did some good favored enemies research over there as one of my first threads. But man do people love a good wizard vs mundane thread. The minute you clarify you don't want a wizard v fighter thread, it dies.

[awaken_D_M_golem]

(chuckles ...)

Heh, yeah how could I forget Psi is OP ??


Pun-Pun was quite the set of arguments,
although some significant portion were
Clueless and/or hyper-reflexively anti.

[SorO_Lost]

Soro I love you, but that's like 80% of your post topics.   

D&D rounds things downwards, a 79.99 is still only 70% on a d10. 

[Nifft]

Psst!

A d10 only goes up to 10.

HA !!
The link is the proper evolution of +/- casters.
Oh and that's a PF only Index.
Anyone wanna do the "honors" and write a Handbook?
 

[muktidata]

We're talking GitP, right? 

[Debatra]

TOB is too anime

Every time I see that, I can't help but repost this gem:

Honestly, I'd say the Spellcasters are more like DBZ than anything else. Ever spend a few consecutive rounds buffing with both your Standard and Swift actions? Verbal components have to be "in a strong voice". And with all the ways to mess with the action economy; you end up with so many spells crammed into six seconds that if it were the real world instead of step-by-step D&D, your verbal components would be spoken so fast that they would be utterly incomprehensible to viewers.

For all everyone says about ToB making the game too much like anime, it's actually the Wizard that stands there screaming for 30+ seconds to power up while everyone else just sits around and watches him.

EDIT: Also, anyone who thinks 3.5e Fighters don't get nice things needs to take another look at the various lists of Fighter Bonus Feats. Weapon Specialization into Weapon Supremacy isn't your only option, people!

[TiaC]

We're talking GitP, right? 

"...But if you just buy some partially-charged wands..."

[SorO_Lost]

Weapon Specialization into Weapon Supremacy isn't your only option, people!

You know, I suppose that's one too. Weapon Specialization is a stupid Feat.

It's generally considered a Barbarian deals sufficient damage while the Fighter does not. But due to the Encounter design, the Barbarian's 1/day Rage only contributes +0.5 damage (+0.75 if THF) on average. Even the Barb's capstone, Mighty Rage, is only worth +6 damage if THF. By the 6th level a Fighter can have Specialization & Mastery for +6 damage for every Encounter and doesn't matter if he's THF'ing either.

We may not consider +6 a lot, but honestly it's more than you'd expect in context.

Speaking of Barbarians, every thread with a player wanting to play a Barbarian leading to half the people trying to persuade them to go Frenzied Berserker and half the people trying to persuade them NOT to kill their party.
