Interesting comments, thanks. Made me check out Gestalt characters (after reading about them for some years already), and yeah, the concept is similar. The difference is that Gestalt is an exact 50/50 split in class abilities while not splitting the XP, and that my idea, using the XP to...

I've been pondering on something that came up during a discussion about the problem of seeming level-equivalence with the current 3.X multiclassing system. It was inspired by the attempt to mix 2E and 3E multiclassing systems. Since I wouldn't be surprised if something like that has been done...

I can't help it, the monster in the box reminds me more and more of Hobbes, of Calvin & Hobbes fame. Congratulating on scars? Announcing secret clubs that bar attendance to girls? Trying to bet with REAL Monopoly money? :lol: Got to reread my Calvin & Hobbes collection. :D

Well, seeing that even AD&D 1E or OD&D manage to get new players, and my personal experiences are that I can get new players to play Shadowrun 1E or L5R 1E without any problems, I'm glad this post of yours only describes a "construct" that doesn't have to do too much with reality as I know it...

Okay...I got to admit, that's a DAMN good impression of a panserbjorn, and I can see Iorek like that...but my, Lyra really grew up healthy, didn't she? :eek: And that's definitely not a subtle knife she wields there either.

That's not anime. That is simply modern fantasy artwork borrowing some of the typical anime tropes :lol: (to use one of the more popular arguments from the "Find the Anime" thread...hey, nobody said I can't learn a thing or two. ;) ). If you want to see anime/videogamey, look at the current...

Hmmmm, could we get some numbers with this hyperbole, please?

I doubt I would break my game with it. :) I know my game, and it is pretty solid, and doesn't break under small stuff such as that. Weird...so far, I didn't have acid-flask toting fighters, or monks with bandoliers of alchemist's fire. All ranged touch attack items, and not that expensive...

Agreed.

You know, apart from this thread not really being the correct place to discuss this, I have the impression we'll simply have to agree to disagree and let it go that way. I simply don't share your assumptions and conceptions, or problems in having to look up a table for size modifiers, and I feel...

If you need a table to check (2^X, X=0 for first size category), there's a lot of other problems with D&D than throwing salt in somebody's face. This is NOT 1E with its emphasis on tables. Right, because every high-level character would risk an AoO from his melee +20 opponent to throw some salt...

Funny...3E allows just the same, except you don't have to limit it to "Once per Day". Throw Salt: You can try to throw a handful of salt into your opponent's eyes in an attempt to blind them temporarily. Doing so provokes an attack of opportunity. Make a ranged touch attack (Range Increment 5'...

So will the Pathfinder RPG book contain a collection of baseline monsters, and the Pathfinder MM will be an expansion? Or no monsters in the RPG book and a stand-alone MM later? :) I think 420 pages should be enough to include a few handfuls of monsters, right? :D

I prefer the 3.5 skill point system in general, but have gleaned a lot of streamlining ideas from all the Paizo discussions about skill systems. Lots of creative juices flowing over there. :)

Yeah, that's for sure, but there is a difference starting a new game of 3.5/Pathfinder telling your new players "No problem guys, you can get a load of used 3.5 core books from Ebay for this game" or telling them "No problem guys, you can get a fresh off-the-shelf core book from amazon/FLGS for...
