    Default Optimised vs. Not

    I was thinking about Optimised characters and found this. quite obviously, this makes a good example of the power difference between well-built and poorly-built characters

    And the point is?
    I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

    I'm not joking one bit. I would buy the hell out of that.     -- ChubbyRain

    Posting a youtube link in a thread is pretty much the best way to ensure I won't bother watching the video.

    It will not, however, prevent me from posting in the thread if I am bored enough.

    Psh. The difference between optimized and unoptimized is the difference between Emma and the dead Guard. Optimized guy survives and can land hits; unoptimized one busts his first saving throw. Conqueror is the BBEG and he's screwing the rules.

    Ok then, this one but skip ahead to the middle:

    I was discussing with some friends how these could all be represented as E6 characters (I'm Nate, Joe is horrible at optimizing):
    Joe: "It's a 6th level character versus a 4th level character."
    Jimmie: "No, they're both 6th level, it's a character you built versus a character Nate built!"

    I don't see why Achilles and Hector would be the same level.

    Which would mean that only heels get through his DR. I don't think that some guy got up and beat him with his heel...

    Damage immunity except on critical hits, and an inability to get fortification.
