Ahoy, mateys! Time for yet another forum game :)

This one is entitled "X is Underpowered," a game that allows you to rant about the things you don't like, but with structure and silliness!

Here's how it works:

The person before you will post something about this-that-or-the-other that they think is underpowered, for WHATEVER reason they want.
Then you, the person below them, can rant about something that you think is underpowered.
BUT! Here's the catch: the thing you complain about has to start with the last letter of the last person's post. For example, someone ends with an "m." Feel free to nag about monks, mooks, monkeys, moonrocks, or whatever!

So, to get thinks started:

Katanas are underpowered because they don't model how real katanas work.

For clarity, that means the next person complains about a thing starting with a "k."
