I think it's actually going to be far more confusing because you are going to have two different sets of designs for the same classes be viable at once, allowing players to choose between two rather differently-designed systems. You can say "Well, who will play the old stuff?" and I would say...

The problem with the "evergreen" model is that, generally speaking, the different board games don't interact with each other. You don't have to worry about Risk 1989 rules and how they interact with Risk 2019 rules because you're only playing with one set of rules, no matter what you choose. You...

By all accounts it seems more like an in-person tabletop support thing more than anything, much like DDB can be.

Yeah, I probably am (though I've been a Rules Subscriber for a while). At the very least, a cleaned-up and better-organized version of the core rules is worth it to me, with the bonus that I'm (hopefully) getting a way better, more distinct version of the Witch and a better Warpriest.

I think I termed it as a "2.25", putting in some existing errata changes that were significant (largely to the Alchemist class), putting some changes in to some classes while doing away with some fiddly stuff, and adding a few mechanics to deal with some outgoing ideas. I'd say before that they...

That's an interesting definition. I would say that the classes work distinctly differently given that you have things like integrated feats and other such things. Plus the classes differences feel stark in some cases: someone who is going from a 2014 Warlock to a 2024 Warlock will be able to...

I mean, would you say changing all the classes and integrated a leveled feat system that didn't exist before would count at least as a decimal revision?

Adding classes doesn't mean much to me, but putting whole new versions of them... that's a bit more. Tasha's added a lot of exchangeable class features that felt like a test run for something more substantial, but it ultimately those were options, not complete revamps. You could choose to take...

Do we count if we say it's really a half-edition?

Okay, but you also cited it. And no, this one of all the others I think is absolutely an attack on your argument. It was a gross overstatement and I don't feel bad about calling it hysterical. That was within the same post and while I can understand this a bit more as a personal attack, I...

One of the best aspects of the setting? Like, drow were not used particularly often in PF as far as I know. Certainly not to the extent they are in D&D, at least.

I was more pointing to 3.5E as an example, but I get what you are saying. I think there is still plenty of room to maneuver in here given that 5E basically has almost no rules restrictions on flight as is. I feel like there are a lot of people who find the overall resolution system to be fun...

Having it as a feat would work well with the new leveled Feat System. Maybe give it to certain classes/subclasses automatically (Monks once they can run up walls, Rogues when they get Second Story Work, maybe Rangers when they get Roving), then put it behind a Parkour feat at like 8th level for...

@Incenjucar Would you want something like what you are talking about to be dependent on a skills check or simply something you can "do" if you hit the prereqs? Like, what would I need to be able to Jackie-Chan off some walls and parkour up them? Is that a skill, a feat, or just a climb speed?

This is attacking the idea that you would have to create a completely new combat system, which is hysterics: we are talking about changing a specific type of movement and adapting creatures that use that type of movement to new rules. Yet you were talking about how we are essentially changing...

Rage of the Elements is the new book coming out in August focusing on elemental powers and a new class which uses them, the Kineticist. I have heard over and over that it's a fairly beloved class, but having never played it I'm interested to see if they recapture that feeling. Howl of the Wild...

I'm just going to hit this part because I don't really feel the need to continually reiterate my points here, but I find value in hitting the more general sentiments: Because it feels like you are being unnecessarily obtuse in interpreting what I'm trying to say! Why change flight? Well, it's...

Even more than that, the ability to basically walk around within someone's reach really adds to the ability to avoid them: if you or the enemy are able to support each other in combat, it's not hard to shift around to be able to attack a new target without necessarily getting hit by an AoO...

People have given you those, but your argument against has been "Where does it end?" and saying we're going to redo the whole combat system.

Yeah, this is what I basically figured when it came to changing alignment damage and such. Also edicts/anathemas are way better as character building tools. First part, neat. Second part, whoa, that's something I didn't expect but makes sense. Schools weren't as big for Wizards as they were in...
