That would be nice, but I am not so great an optimist as you :(

Whimsy is definitely a bit strong. It's random & crazy, maybe even wacky -- but more funny "uh oh" than funny "hah hah".

Nothing personal, but you didn't exactly refute... nah, too easy. Never mind. :)

Definitely true: Paizo is not a monolith, composed of individuals, etc etc. However: it's also the case that there are some that arewere way more outspoken about being anti-4e rather than pro-3e. In other words: you're both right :)

Flames you. Gently. Just to maintain the balance of the force. ;) While I know, share, and commiserate with your point of view, I find it hard to believe that this thread will fair any better than other threads which devolve into edition war bait. Good luck.

Which is why I'm certain they're investing heavily in a new collectible can game, Tuna: The Reckoning. I think there's a minimum standard of sense we need to apply here :)

Is it ready yet?

As others have said, this is really an issue of emphasis: I'd need my books in front of me, but a guard in a thorpe on the plains is probably a level 1 warrior, while a guard in a mountain village is more like level 4, and swamps breed 'em really tough, to the tune of level 7 I think. The...

Still at "not dead" speeds, but we're back to a lot slower than we were earlier -- around 7 seconds (poor baby!) to load the forums from the front page. And actually, it took even longer for the thread status icons to load.

... can I get you another can of soda? Foot rub? expedited delivery to the printers? Celebratory cigar? Just tell us when + where to preorder :)

"minion" is not a synonym for "normal". Have you seen goblin blackblades? Those things are _scary!_

I liked the _idea_ of classics revisited more than the actual delivery. The reimagining of goblins was great... but I already had that in Pathfinder 1. The bugbears were really awesome, too, very fresh and new; the high point of the book for me. I guess that's an occupational hazard when you're...

A bamboo spear (as above) and a bamboo lance would be the same thing, except that the lance would "often" have a vamplate.

Indeed. Nobody helped because you didn't indicate what we should be helping with :) Glad you found it! What'd you find (I'm at work, modulo my books)?

If it helps, do you remember racial bonuses to skills? That, but to every stat. They didn't provide the breakdown because you don't need it; everything in the game that could reduce those numbers indirectly respects their opacity. Feel free to derive the values for yourself, if you like :)

(Still at work, so the promised daily mappings are yet to come) I see nothing wrong with "following the same feel & flavor", but I'm a gear head, so I'm going to try to chart the powers. 8 classes, 4 or so choices per level, maybe 15 levels of daily powers (probably much less, but no books, so I...

Full, flame-retardant disclosure: I'm a complete and utter f4nboy, but a little disappointed in the actual books-as-products, as opposed to the design of the game. I've heard the complaints before; lo, I've made them myself. 4e is too combat-heavy. It's killing roleplaying (forego, I beg of...

"ditto" -- I find Demogorgon meh, especially when he comes out of nowhere and eats me in Nethack. In D&D, maybe I lack the lore exposure, but the only thing he's ever really done for me is steal what I'd've thought was Orcus' schtick. That said... Graz'zt has never tickled my fancy either...

Munging the order of your post so that mine may be read. Wait, no. That is Halflings, almost to a T. Er, H. Observe: Cool! But, you'll find in the late 3.x artwork, they called these "Halflings". PHB II presents some of this in the affiliations -- just look at that illustration. It's a pretty...

I think he meant "In WoW", where his point is a lot more relevant. ;)
