Feat progression? Hit Dice? Base Proficiencies? A convenient way to say "you can't fully multiclass between Wizard and Psion?" That's all that I can think of.

First, real-world little people are disproportionate in their own body size and to the gear made for modern warfare. They are not a race of people that create weapons to defend themselves with. They are very dissimilar to halflings. I don't think your assumptions (in this particular example)...

I vote honestly and assume others do too. It's not useless to know that you're designing in a direction that the majority is OK with. The polls often show that none of his ideas are a mega-hit either, as I've not seen many "5s" yet.

And you seem unable to see that the bard has other concepts behind it than "traveling minstrel." The original AD&D bard was a skilled fighter, a devoted druid, and a master of musical magic. He was the game's very first Presige Class over twenty years before that became a game term. And other...

What they're intended for? So, why don't we just go back to BD&D design. All elves are F/MUs, all dwarves are fighters, each race is a class. That's what I get from this statement. It's not a competition between players, but when you're THE party fighter and chose an "inferior choice" (your...

I agree, the example given is two fighters built dissimilarly and delves into DEX-Fighter discussions that might be outside the scope of what we're talking about. If the two fighters are built similarly, let's say 18 STR, 14 DEX, 10's otherwise, the two should have different but relatively...

Yeah, if you're going to resort to extreme examples there's no point discussing this with you. I agree, using the term only was overstating. But my point is that a half-orc can be better a some aspects of being a fighter and a halfling other aspects of being a fighter without designing the...

Should it be meaningful? Sure. By why, by default, should it outweigh his advantages? Because your bias says only big, strong guys are effective fighters. Your bias is again severly restricting the hearth and home cleric's sphere of influence. You are self-limiting the example despite thoughts...

Your bias seems to sway towards an "adventuring effectiveness" = "strength." While I agree a halfling shouldn't be on par with a half-orc in regards to strength, wouldn't a halfling fighter employ the advantages he has over the half-orc to remain on par with the fighter? Even in a simple case...

And I agree with your opinion! Absolutely. But the bulk of shareholders in most large corporations want to see increasing stock value NOW, not later. And yes, I think this is bad for business, bad for employees, bad for customers, and bad for the economy in general. But my and your voice make no...

I understand that. That's not what I'm saying. Splat books from WotC have a history of selling just shy of one book per group member. WotC adventures have a history of selling just shy of one book per group. Which would you rather invest your money in? The answer from a large group of...

The same thread I pointed to certainly indicates they are doing well financially. They are one of the fastest growing companies. WRT what I was talking about, their size is only relative as it relates to WotC/Hasbro. They have their own bar set for financial feasability, one that most large...

That's with the missing context of "as well as player crunch books" and/or "well enough for a company the size of WotC/Hasbro to focus on them." It was mentioned in the news thread that Paizo's CEO plans to keep their business small, which will allow them to keep focusing on the product they do...

Congrats to Paizo! They certainly have earned it. ...or to not go over the magic number 50 that would make them no longer a small business and on the hook for many employment laws they currently are allowed to ignore. ;)

I ran a 2E campaign based entirely on one of the N64 Zelda games. Worked out petty good. Although then I was more inspired by the maps in the "cheat guide" than the actual game visuals.

I find it to be more: "Paranoid Extremism" <--> "Staunch Prudence" <--> "Simple Prudence" <--> "Relaxed Attitude" <--> "Gullible Con-Bait" "Relaxed Attitude" gets less flak than "Paranoid Extremism", I think, because the paranoid extremist sounds nuts, while the relaxed attitude person is...

My name is so common that even when I add my exact address to a Google search I get 1 hit. And that's a real estate website. Gotta like that. :)

How comprehensive is the roster? I'm running 2E's Ruins of Greyhawk now and think ahead to monsters such as the jermlaine that weren't carried forward into 3E or 4E. Are some of the more obscure monsters included?

Who needs Big Brother when new generations are being trained to document their own indiscretions?

In the 1E FF? Yes.
