Roleplay. It all comes back to Roleplay. I come up with a character concept (personality/motivation/hook), pick a class that suites it, and them look over the list of races to find which one I think helps to work with the character concept to make a more interesting backstory. I generally don't...

Interesting topic... Probably going to get more traction saying what makes these classes different though, not what class they are like.

I'm not planning on merging other company's proprietary content; this is a demo of what a company (like Paizo) would do with its own content, so copyright infringement isn't really an issue. As for mergin PDFs, yeah that's old news, but your talking about on a page by page basis; with this...

So, to further best this horse... I agree with the original poster. I've argued this point a number of times including against some real WotC debs and designs, and ultimately things probably won't change for number of reasons. I'm ok with that; as the OP stated, it does work mechanically very...
