You could start as an Ogre Mage at first level anyway by using the Savage Species Ogre Mage monster class progression.

Because the "solution" (not having any system for morality) is even worse.

Not at all: a rogue isn't merely a "lightly armored fighter who darts and weaves between his enemies", a rogue is also defined by other skills, like opening locks and attacking from behind...

I remember Dashing Swordsman from Order of the Stick... Is it an actual class or are you joking :) Certainly nice feats, I'll keep them in mind. Ahh, excellent suggestion! The warblade seems to me the best option, since it relies heavily on intelligence, which the duelist and swashbuckler...

The best role description for a cleric isn't "leader", but "healer". I don't think those names are clear at all, nor very helpful... a Wizard would be Strike-Controller-Leader. Furthermore, I think roles are something that should occur naturally, rather than being so imbibed into the game's...

I think it sets things too much in stone. And in any case, couldn't the names be less silly?

"World of Dungeoncraft" sounds better, I think :D There's nothing wrong with incorporating elements from famous computer games per se, so I don't see how that is an issue. My gripe with 4th edition is not that it incorporated elements from famous MMOs, but that it incorporated some of the worst...

I know of the Swashbuckler base class (Complete Warrior), Arcane Duelist (Random Encounter article series), Bladesinger (Complete Warrior) and Duelist (Dungeon Master's Guide v.3.5) prestige classes and the Weapon Finesse feat (Player's Handbook v.3.5). Are there other classes or feats...

I would either ignore or laugh, I think.

I think you are assuming too much. He could just be making fun of something he dislikes to people he thinks also dislike that something.

I like your idea. But I'd rather have it as a race-based bonus to HP than a generic one.

I don't think it's incompetence... why would choosing a feat because it works thematically with the prestige class be incompetence?

Complete Warrior is kind of a must to me. Mainly because I like Swashbucklers.

I... don't see how your post relates much to what he said? Did you understand by "faceless" that Wizards is not notable? That isn't what he probably meant - he probably meant that Wizards' treatment of fans isn't as personal as Paizo's.

Gender modifiers make sense, but I don't think it is worth the trouble. Probably the best would be giving a +2 bonus to Strength to men, and +2 to Wisdom and Charisma to women, but that would be unbalanced...

And the Pathfinder bestiary has classics like the Juju Zombie :)

I think the effects shouldn't stack... because each effect is basically one "enchantment", with it's ritual, requirements and etc., and as such doing it twice would be like casting the same enhancement spell on yourself twice.

Some creatures from AD&D are missing in 3rd edition or Pathfinder, or at least I haven't been able to find a version of them yet. For instance, I haven't been able to find the giant rat or giant toad anywhere so far.

Good points.

I understand what you mean, but that's one problem between universes: what is somewhat trivial to do in one can be hard to perform in another. What I meant is that 13-15 level characters are among the very strongest of most DnD campaign settings; a normal student getting to such a high level...
