Top Ten Worst-Written Spells, Class Features, Racial Abilities, Feats, Items, etc

[TuggyNE]

All right, update time again.

The usual statistics:

More than a third of the suggestions (54) have only one vote. There are 16 negative votes so far out of 433 total; 35 voters have used all their votes, 23 have only used one, and 20 of the remaining 23 have used between 2 and 5 votes each.

By the way, does anyone care about those?

I get ten votes? I think I do. Here we go:

3 for Diplomacy. Diplomancy, in any form, is rather poorly thought out.

3 for Monk. I mean, it's so poorly thought out.

2 for Iron Heart Surge.

1 each for Manyfang Dagger and Cheezing/Snoking Sneezing and Choking dust.

Gotta admit, I chuckled at that spoonerism. And yes, you get 10 votes total (-1 votes count as 1 of those, not that you likely care), and you hadn't previously used any.

A note on sort order: I take care to make sure the Top Ten remain stable, such that ties leave them in the same relative position. So IHS doesn't quite make it to #2, and Diplomacy doesn't quite crack #10. Everything else I just let Excel sort, and it's not necessarily stable.
