and that Bags of Devouring are the innards of extraplanar (Astral? Ethereal? Far Realms?) creatures that eventually digest objects within them in a completely random fashion.

Just in case you happen to be immune to [death] effects, Blasphemy doesn't have that descriptor (and it clearly works on the Undead)... Otherwise? For no good reason.

The only way a Non-Caster 20 has any hope of defeating any Caster 20 is by taking UMD and trying to beat them at their own game... or hope for hopelessly contrived sets of events which allow the Non-Caster to get close enough to use their Amulet of AMF (underdark 25k, whatever its called) and...

I fail to understand the problem here (ok, OP's question). If you like 4e and want to continue playing / running it... whats to stop you? You don't need corporate sponsorship to game. WotC not supporting *your* D&D? I guess they don't need your $$... me? I'll be playing 3.5 or the new...

Ahnehnois Well HERO System, for example, goes out of its way to tell you exactly what the Super Hero can and can not do... it tries to have a rule for everything. MSH leaves a lot of that to the Players and GM/Storyteller/whatever. It doesn't try to give you a physics engine (or RPG version...

..but that would be a House Rule. There is nothing to indicate that Discern Location can tell how you got to where you are. Where you are is Extradimensional.

Largely this. I like Paizo's setting, but their oddball House Rules leave me cold. I use CMB/CMD in my 3.5 game and allow players to use PF Classes (PF Paladin, for example is an improvement), but thats about it. If WotC rereleases the Core, I will buy them. Perhaps two of each with the notion...

Katana were made to fit. If they have an average length, it is solely based on the average height (and thus arm length) of the average samurai. So how tall is your character?

Discern Location tells them where you are, not how you got there. If you are in a Rope Trick, thats where you are. Some extradimensional zone. This isn't even a big deal. Who camps out in a Rope Trick indefinately? Cast Discern Location in a couple hours and see if they're still there...

...and this is only a low level issue for the Wizard. He will not be running out of spells easily at the higher levels.

A fantastic item to invest in for a Mundane (read: non-caster)! However, are we assuming Combat here? If so how does the AMF'd Monk reach the Flying / Invisible / Mirror Imaged / Displaced (really, flight alone would bone the Monk) Mage? Or are you taking the "Monk vs sleeping wizard, lolz!"...

You can't please everybody. WotC should know this :p

Is this wizard level 1 then? Let him "suffer", he will rise greatly in power compared to his non-caster comrades soon enough.

Your poll is horribly flawed and obviously skewed to your own viewpoints. After this playtest packet I am still of the mindset to continue on with 3e with Fluff Support from Paizo (Paizo's house rules leave me cold, for the most part). 5e can not unify the Editions, such is simply not...

D&D 3.5 Pathfinder is not an edition of D&D, it is House Ruled (and very well marketed :p) 3.5

James the Newbie: Your last line there caught my eye. I am hesitant to consider the Monk a "tank", at all. Aside from "concept class", I am at a loss as to what to label them under. "Striker", "Mage-Killer"? Perhaps. At the higher levels though, any Mage who dies to a Monk without extreme luck...

I made my Will Save. :p

My group played through the Break Out event and then went off to the Savage Lands chasing after Sauron. This system is very different from other Supers systems I have played (CHAMPIONs 2e, Mutants & Masterminds 1e, GURPs Supers, etc). Earlier systems seemed to try to emulate the Super Hero...

Anything that doesn't kill you... can be explained any number of ways.

Personally, I have never thought to template a swarm. Swarms are pretty nasty right out the gate... Now... my players will have cause to hate you, Greenfield :D
