[QUOTE="Dark Mistress, post: 6023086, member: 11816"] Well what Paizo does depends a lot on what happens. There is three likely possibilities that will make a huge difference on what Paizo does or doesn't do. 1) DnD Next is a flop and Pathfinder grows. In this case I think you see no changes or very little. 2) DnD Next does ok and while some people leave Pathfinder, some others join. So it ends up as Status Quo. In this case you might see them adopt some new elements of the popular parts of 5e, like backgrounds or magic rituals etc. 3) DnD Next is a huge success. That's when things would get interesting. Paizo is a fairly small company and need much smaller profit to be profitable. But still I am sure they would react the question is how. PFRPG 2.0? Maybe. I just have doubts they would make support books for DnD Next, mostly because Lisa and others have said to often they don't want to be at the mercy of someone else's business decisions. If they support another companies game and said game gets a new edition it can have a huge impact on Paizo and force them to make drastic changes. Having gone threw that once I don't think they are eager to repeat it. [/QUOTE]
