On the other hand, my concern for Paizo in Pathfinder is that they are avoiding using good ideas from
WotC due to both backwards compatibility and fear that they're accidentally duplicate something from
4E. As I noted about nine months ago, most of
4E's most important innovations are
OGL content to begin with, and they're getting overlooked because of a mix of company loyalty and
4E-rage. Those self same ideas over in Star Wars Saga Edition (such as the math restructuring, defenses, skills, etc.) are getting rave reviews and applause.
