I will say that vermin being mindless makes no sense at all.  Have the writers never seen a rat?  They're quite smart for their brain size.

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

The Finnish word 'hikikomero' fits the bill. It means 'sweat closet.'

Which is even weirder.  

Another one that gets me: Swashbucklers aren't proficient with Bucklers.  WTF?  The name comes from the fact that they'd always have a buckler!

Intelligent Undead I assume are because their mind has been "locked" into it's present state by undeath. Living brians continually adapt and change, evolving in a sense.  Undead...don't.

Huh, I always thought it was to **** over enchantment spells.

the only school whose high level spells aren't even guaranteed affects after your opponent makes their save.  and has more ways to become immune to than I could shake a stick(or wand) at.

mind blank and personal mind blank top the chart, mainly cause they can also screw over alot(but not all) divination spells.


seriously, wuh? why does WotC have enchantment so much? its not like a dominate person is an encounter ender... unless you are only fighting one guy who has a crappy will save.

No, actually. I just thought that was really, really funny when I saw it in the 80s. :P

Enchantment COULD be pretty nasty at lower levels, though, plus it's a classical player-torture school. YES, I think I'll dominate that party supercharger. That's probably the main reason there are so many ways to become immune: Players don't like to be dominated.

Actual giant insects are just animals in the same way that dire toads and weasels are animals.

Cranium Rats, and a wimpy version of the HIVE, made it into 4e.

Speaking of that ... 4e still makes me go "Wuh ?"

Oh wait, wrong board.

I don't think the authors get out of their Moms' basements much.


The real problem is that they based the game's rules on modern stereotypes, and not on actual scientific research.


Speaking of, Humans having no racial ability benefits? And a Dog has a higher Con score than the average human being (wrong!)? And cats too.


The average commoner being vulnerable to a house cat.

Another random one... Int 2 animals.  That's fine for some, but the difference between one Int 2 animal and another can be huge (Monkey vs cow).  And Monkeys being really weak is silly... chips are much stronger than humans!

We've taught chimpanzees rudimentary sign language. I wish you the very best of luck trying that with a cow. Or teaching a cow tool-use, etc.

Chimps are also one of the few animals known to laugh. Just saying.
