[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8742046, member: 18"] If plus means we mustn't critique each other to does minus mean we must lol? But let's see: 1) Kind of agree - they need a better system for mixed characters or just don't do them. Maybe look at what PF2 did, as if they ripped that off, they'd cause 90% of people critiquing this system to go to bloody war with each other (as about 45% are earnest PF2 supporters, and 45% also thing PF2 did it wrong). 2) Aardlings yes, Aasimar no. But no to both of their names. Just like, call them Daevas or something. Man Daevas were SO much freaking cooler than either of these Angel-Furs or Tieflings for Teacher's Pet. Why did we ever get rid of Daevas? Doesn't make any sense. They were like, awesome. 3) THERE ARE NO SMALL DWARVES!!! is just a great thing to randomly yell at people. Also just hilariously stupid. 4) Yeah that's dumb re: no cold resist for Teethlings, pretty sure with 2E Tefalings that was one of the most common things they could have (maybe even built in?). 5) No medium halflings is a brutal insult to the dear memory of Bandobras Took, who was taller than a lot of Dwarves! 6) Backgrounds - Seriously. Agree. Why tie anything to them except maybe Skills? The idea that your Feat has to come from your background seems inherently dim. Language even dimmer. And they've screwed it up completely again by giving us tons of "Default" backgrounds, which they have to bloody realize most people will read as "THE ONLY BACKGROUNDS THAT ARE LEGAL!!!". 7) Level requirements for Feats is going to end poorly for sure. They'll screw it up. They'll make Feats much worse than L1 Feats require L8, and Feats that are ridiculously nutso powerful be L4. 8) Healer changes - Yeah wth? Why did they nerf the non-magic healing? So dumb. It was already not great. Just add the magic bit on for goodness sake. 9) Savage Attacker - I laughed pretty hard when I saw they'd managed to make one of the very worst Feats even worse. 10) Inspiration is still ultra-trash, not sure why you're worried about balance. It'll just be this dumb thing people forget to use except now everyone will be cursing up a storm when they roll a 20 because everyone in the party already has Inspiration, or everyone but that jerk who keeps using it for trivial bollocks and thus effectively forcing every new point on to him. They make this ridiculous song-and-dance about how they're making so the game is more like how it's really played, and they don't let Inspiration be either: A) Added "after the fact" or B) Simply used to re-roll Pretty much everyone who even uses it, uses it that way. They also don't let people have more than 1 point, which is so, so dumb. Like, I get limiting it, but to 1? No. Go away. Rethink! 11) Spell lists I kind of like this idea but I also hate this idea. So long as they give every class any extra spells it needs (which is a bunch for Bards, for example), then sure, I guess. I do like Primal coming back. [/QUOTE]
