So you literally thought that Cannon got the cards from a bank? Frankly that seems unlikely. Even if you'd never played Monopoly (in which case you are a lucky sciuromorph - it is terrible), you did not need to get the exact reference to realise it was not meant literally. Because there are so...

There is no money in real life, we are talking about cards. That someone already paid for. The point is the phrase "Bank Error in your Favour" obviously refers to a lucky windfall or serendipitous event, not a literal bank error. Very obviously so in this case, since WotC are not a bank (and...

Not quite. PI is the things you are not allowed to use under the OGL. This is about Wizards' OGC, which they can use under the OGL but not otherwise. The point is that the OGC is in peripheral stuff like certain monsters and spells, and not in the core mechanics. (IANAL, TINLA.) There was such...

Alignment, maaaaybe. It remains to be seen how they deal with that, and how big the impact is. But ability scores? They're virtually gone already - monsters & NPCs no longer have them, BB character no longer have them, and the PCs that do have them never actually use them for anything other...

That may be your truth. It certainly isn't mine.

Nothing. That ship had sailed. What they should have done, both ethically and practically, is left it alone. Instead they sent armed thugs round and Streisand-effected the whole affair into a much bigger story. EDIT: TBF, I do not know for sure they were armed, although it does seem extremely...

That does not say that they could have ripped the OGL out of the CRB and Bestiary 1 and published them in otherwise exactly the same form (which is @Rushbolt's claim). "Significantly less important" != "excised entirely". The latter is what is happening with the Remix.

RPG publishers use the same definition, except when it suits them to pretend otherwise. That is true, but "edition" in the RPG/wargame sense does not refer to individual books, it refer to the whole gameline. So it would be correct (if potentially confusing) to refer black-cover 1995 PHB as a...

They did. Walking away from everything in the SRD is literally the point of the Remix. Citation needed. They said they could have produced core books with the same basic mechanics without needing the OGL, but they never claimed that they could have included, say, chromatic dragons, without...

If anything, I'd imagine backdoor pilots are the ones that are less certain - if the studio is already all in on the idea, they'll pay for a proper pilot and it doesn't need to be "back door".

Thanks to WotC's actions, it was "broke". The foundations had been undermined. Putting all the rules online for free makes it pretty definitely not a cash grab. My guess would be that is mostly referring to the myriad "always female" monsters. You have evidence of that, of course, given that...

The Rogue Genius Games Dragonrider class for PF1 uses a similar same premise - dragons giving up abilities in the short term to gain power more quickly in the medium term as (in that case) your rider levels up. I thought it was a pretty cool idea then, too.

Add me to the list of people who runs PF2 "manually". I do mostly play online these days, and I do make fairly extensive use of AoN, but there is not a VTT in sight - just Google Slides for the maps and Discord for voice and text chat (the closest we get to automation is DiceMaiden in Discord...

I agree; Continual Recovery does not remove the standard option to keep treating for an hour so you can still do so, but if so you are not benefiting from the feat. OTOH, to take advantage of the feat you need to stop treating after ten minutes and start again, which precludes taking advantage...

Given the winking smiley, I am pretty sure @Retreater does realise that, yes.
