I respectfully disagree with pretty much all of these points. See 5e Fighters are not Boring.

Our group loved not having them. When in the open, they really enjoyed having a flexible battle space. It also encouraged giving more tactical consideration to how the PCs arranged themselves. To keep the wizard protected, they needed a defensive line with no holes so they would try to use...

I think advantage/disadvantage might help add some flavor to the more realist approaches: Healer's kit->advantage on each die roll Nice soft bed, fresh meals -> gain advantage Rough conditions -> disadvantage on die roll Extreme temperatures -> disadvantage. I think I prefer the mechanic as...

Thank you for this gem of an idea ... I'm going to have to spring it on my players first chance I get!

Perhaps the Magic Ability score that corresponds to your class. Wizards use int, clerics use wisdom, other classes ... TBA, but should be predictable.

I like it! One thing to be wary of are links outside of the app. The connect with facebook link removes all of your nice navigation so I have to quit and re-launch. Outside of that, the formatting looks pretty decent and the menus make a lot of sense. Good work trimming that down to a manageable...

Thousands of people constantly hitting the F5 key might have been a factor there ;)

I don't remember seeing that promise made, nor hearing about it anywhere. I'm not sure where that assumption comes from, perhaps you can elaborate on where you've seen this?

I would take issue with the "incomplete" description. The beta is a full system with all classes defined, races, equipment, spells, skills, feats, etc. This fact alone makes it more "complete" than the 4E PHB. I think you're describing it that way because it is a beta version of the rules. In...

I think one other big area of change/improvement are Skills. The system is much more simplified, as outlined on another thread in this forum: Pathfinder Skill System?

Another benefit of the simplification comes into play when multi-classing. The simplified skill system is a breeze to sort through when you have multi-class PCs or NPCs above first level. 3.5 is a real pain to sort through what ranks were spent, half ranks or full ranks, at what level, and for...

Add me, and most of the players in my pbem games, to this category. I was initially extremely happy about resolving the known problems and unnecessary complexities with 3.5 and was thrilled when word came out that 4e would solve most, if not all, of these problems. As more and more was revealed...

Hi Ben, My two groups have been using the Pathfinder RPG Alpha ruleset as of late. They have done a great job of doing exactly this kind of thing while trying to maintain backwards compatibility with all of your existing 3.x source books. I recommend a read through the free pdf available...

Here's hoping that the new system offers exactly this feature of class construction transparency. I've always wanted to revise/update the classes in the 3.0 Wheel of Time book, especially the channeler classes (I never really liked the slot system for channelers). I'm very interested to see if...

You're welcome! Glad to be of help! Our 4E testing group has not used him, so I don't know how he'll play. We have used Varis Darkstrider, the elf rogue that was also posted in some thread a while back, and his player is having fun with him at the moment.

Fidder I don't have search for the forums, but I did download Fidder Rivers when he was posted. A zipped version of him should be attached.

Giving it a shot ... I'm trying to run Raiders of Oakhurst adventure through yahoo groups: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Raiders_of_Oakhurst You're welcome to have a look - the messages are all public. My goal here is to sort out how best to manage combats via pbem, so we're giving...

I would be interested! As a side note, I'm trying to run this as a PBEM on yahoo: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Raiders_of_Oakhurst/ PBEM's have their own quirks, obviously, and this is an attempt to sort through some of those problems. So far, I'm having fun. I'm pretty sure the group...

This is from the Quick Play Rules that was put together by someone in the Raiders of Oakhurst thread: I can't guarantee the accuracy of this, but it looks good to me.

Thanks for all the fish Hi Folks. I know I've posted before, but perhaps that username has drifted off into the ether. I've played D&D since the mid-80s now ... man that makes me old :confused: Now that real life, kids, work etc. have kicked into full gear, it's nearly impossible to find...
