My group has two rogues with Trap Spotter and they use it mainly to speed things up in the game. They don't actively have to search, so they can move through the dungeon more quickly. If you're already giving clues, that makes it somewhat less valuable of a feat, frankly.

Glad to see that they're doing so well. I've rarely regretted a book I bought from Paizo and I've never regretted a hardback purchase. I certainly can't say that about most versions of D&D.

Another Pathfinder fan here. It's the game we're currently playing in my group and it is the main game I buy these days. Both Paizo and Super Genius have gotten many dollars from me.

I have trouble believing I'd ever miss 2e. :p But your point is taken.

Well, I can't claim great virtue on the White Box -- my dad got it. And I got lucky with the Deities & Demigods and got it for $20 used about 20 years ago. I have kept the stuff I actually bought, though I have thought about selling off my 2e stuff. If anyone would be willing to buy it. :p

Pretty cool. My white box set is one of my favorite game possessions, along with my first printing Deities & Demigods. Maybe they'll print some of the books alone? I don't have the Greyhawk supplement, which always annoyed me, since it's my favorite setting.

Obviously I'm not explaining myself well enough here. My idea is that size doesn't increase your strength *stat*, so we don't see 3e-style Str score bloat. (I understand 4e is much the same way.) Here's how it would work: A halfling with a Str of 10 can carry 50 pounds and does a d6 with his...

I'm a 3e/Pathfinder fan, but one thing I've always found a tad ridiculous as stat bloat. Oh, the mental stats aren't too insane, usually, but it's not unusual to see a monster with a 30, 40, or even 50+ Strength score. My suggestion for 5e is: don't do this. Size should have an effect, but...

If ability scores are replacing skills, then they kind of have to go up with levels; or you need some other mechanism to have them improve with level. They haven't told us much yet, but I'm thinking there won't be a lot of stat increases. I think you'll have your Dex stat, with your dancing...

Since you have "attorney" in your name, you should know exactly what he means. ;) I'm sure that they'd love to re-release everything. But do they actually have full rights to everything? You'd think so, but the whole Dragon Magazine archive CD debacle showed that isn't necessarily so. What...

This was a big ol' fight that happened in the run up to 3e. Sonofapreacherman doesn't like the way fireball worked in 2e, where you had a little pellet that flew through the air and then exploded into the fireball. I don't remember exactly what he DID want, but he wanted it really, really...

Which is a problem that Pathfinder fixed. I'd happily play a Pathfinder fighter to 20th level. I'd happily play any of the Pathfinder classes to 20th level. And you can bet the design crew has studied Pathfinder, since that is their competition.

Yeah, brontosaurus is the proper name and apatosaurus is the wrong one. Even the spell check agrees with me. :devil:

If you are going to have the paladin and monk as they have been done in the past, they have to be LG and lawful respectively. It's part of what they are. Monk would be easier to change, but if you make a paladin that isn't LG, it's not really a paladin any more. A holy warrior class is...

I don't see anything wrong with WotC starting to do adventure paths. The more good campaigns out there, the better. I don't know about Dungeon now, but I always found its quality spotty in the past. As for an in-print Dragon -- I would love that. I subscribed until the end and I'd subscribe...
