    The Exploiter was named because in a thread on the viability of AC/tanking/fighters one person said that monk splashed tempest rangers made every other melee class obsolete as they had the best DPS/AC as well as the ability to do everything else such as traps/locks/UMD/healing/buffs.

    Another siad they couldn't because they would be a no HP character that couldn't do anything well.

    The first person then created the Exploiter and it was called that in the spririt of the original debate.

    I thought "Papershield" as the name of my S&B fighter build was clever...

    Some of the names are a little weird, but for some reason the really good builds end up with some of the best names.... Makes me wonder if they were first posted with bad names and edited.....
    The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.

    One that I don't quite get is Genghis Khan as I really doubt that the historical figure named could sing and play a euchalaly or banjo...

    Sometimes i like to sit my character in a tavern and gaze at the names of some characters that I see. I might take note of the most 'interesting' ones but some of them sound like ingredients for grog ale. btw; i'm aware of mine too.

    His parents made him play a pink piccolo as a child - when he realized it was a very tiny and girly instrument he decided the only way to compensate for it was to raise an army and take over the world.

    He never stopped singing.

    Use of corny (and ungrammatical) language such as "OMG", " why are like all" and "w/e" disqualify you from criticizing and making fun of the way other people use language.

    Gengis Kahn was actually very charismatic and influential. Bards are very Charsimatic.

    I miss all the builds named after superheroes…
    Things worthy of Standing Stone going EXTREME PREJUDICE™ on.:
    • Epic and Legendary Mysterious ring upgrades, please.
    • Change the stack size of filigree in the shared bank to 50. The 5 stack makes the shared bank worthless for storing filigree in a human usable manner.
    • Fixing why I don't connect to the chat server for 5 minutes when I log into a game world.
    • Fixing the wonky Lightning Sphere and Tactical Det firing by converting them to use alchemist spell arcing.
    • Redoing the drop rates of tomes in generic and raid loot tables.

    Yeah, but he wasn't a Paladin or Sorc either.

    I'm thinking of a Barb18/Fighter2 with high charisma. Not a singer/player. Nothing against the build, just the name of the build.
