Don't be shocked however when people make fun of you for calling a goose a duck though. Nonmagic powers aren't magic. I am going to continue telling you that you're wrong as long as you continue to insist otherwise.

I said the skill itself is nonmagical, the effect it produces is magic.

That's nice. 4e's definition of regenration doesn't say any of that though, which is the definition I care about when discussing 4e.

If the player can't possibly explain how he'd be able to be hidden? Sure. If he can, I'd allow it. The enemy is shaken enough that focusing on their target beyond you is difficult(rounds are only 6 seconds). Verdict: Not magical You shake off enemy attacks and swing your weapon around to deter...

[citation needed] I never denied it was extraordinary and superhuman. I DO deny it's innately magical though.

Bolded the important part. Your flesh isn't stitching itself back together or anything, you're just fighting through it(probably with an adrenaline rush) until you can tend to them later. As far as the whole hiding in plain sight thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahg6qcgoay4

Given how any mention of Pathfinder problems just resulted in people being shouted down, I have a feeling discussing Pathfinder's problems was never the intention in the first place.

Not done because Healing Surges aren't magic unless they're triggered by magic.

I'll note that the "Martials are magic" crowd has yet to name a single magical ability that martial characters can do.

I try to be optimistic.

Disagreeing doesn't stop it from being true. Say contrary all you want, it's still fact that casters are broken in 3.5 and PF(mostly Cleric and Druid of CoDzilla fame, but Wizards to a lesser extent. Summoners should have just never gotten past design as-written, and Oracles aren't quite as bad...

Casters being hilariously broken in 3.5 and Pathfinder are well-known. Calling them as they are doesn't seem like an issue. Oh, I typically do ignore them. Doesn't mean I'm not going to ignore that it's a problem. This is typically the kind of thing I expect professional designers like Paizo...

Sadly, I think that's exactly what it'll take to fix Pathfinder. Most of the flaws I see are deeply rooted into the game and can't be removed short of a complete overhaul(though I blame this mostly on it being a derivative of 3.5, aka Caster Edition). Some minor problems I have though are, like...

The topic is literally called "Post your problems and we will fix it." If you don't want to discuss Pathfinder's problems and how to fix them, leave.

Casters being overpowered is a well-known problem with Pathfinder.

The problem is, a topic called "Post your problems and we will fix them" is full of nothing but "Shut up and go play something else if you think Pathfinder has a problem."

Such as?

name one magical thing 4e martial characters do.

The problem is, short of outright curbstomping the Wizard into uselessness, it's difficult to NOT play an adventure that doesn't give them advantages, simply because magic lets them be incredibly useful for any situation. Even an adventure about fighting and jumping and nothing else lets the...

Problem is, "some situations" is about 99.9% of them. Seriously, I've seen Wizards completely faceroll magic immune Golems and enemies in an Anti-Magic Zone just by casting spells at them with zero difficulty. It's embarrassing.
