Yeah, that's good too. Isolated CB data are very hard to analyse correctly.

A note to add about the Cavalier: in my experience (Order of the Dragon) is far for being boring. is very good for dealing a fair a mount of damage X times/day (challenges), and even if challenge is deadly mounted, can be very good with ranged weapons too). He took leadership to take a...

Even if classes are different, the power gap has been significantly lessened IMHO. Moreover, noncaster have more "nice things" in high level feats and class features. I play Core + APG, I cannot say for mixing with complete. Said this, take a look in the Paizo boards, there are conversions...

In Pathfinder duirds remained powerhouses (as said above, 9 level spells and stuff) but are far more balanced than in 3.X because you are allowed far less crazyness with Wild Shapes, and physical stats are kept in check. Moreover, if the animal companion worries you, there is an option to...

Data could be crossed with messageboards. Then you could see why something is less played (less popula, because does not work, and so on). Sort of qualitative + quantitative data to think about..

Roughly 35 of D&D 3.5, Rules Cyclopedia and 3-4 AD&D ones (in past times, most books we played with were not mine). 3 pathfinder, growing.

(3.x PF player here) It depends. As an average, I'd say we play at a rate of 8 levels year (faster at low, slower at high as always). Levelling matters, but not so much. At worst, if we want to play high level, we start high level (12-14).

My 3.x / PF group has (more than 1 campaign): - 3 people which started playing with Basic Red Box, then played advanced 2e and then 3.x - 4 people started with AD&D 2e and the played 3.x - 5 people started with D&D 3.x - 2 people started with PF The 2 PF "noobs" don't know 4th edition, so...

This. Exactly this.

True. It's a while I take my books from Amazon. No sales for my game shop, but I actually spent more on RPG books. Anecdotal, of course, but it's an example of what you said..

I state beforehand that I loved to play Epic in 3.5 up to level 40, even if I recognize the various flaws.. I wonder if, among the fans, people are shy toward epic regardless the epic level sourcebook, or because they had a bad experience with 3.5. In the second case, a good Epic Level...

Exactly.

About point 4.. Remember that every dodge bonus to AC goes to CMD. So, what you said is partially correct.

Imagine this scene: a warrior strikes the ninja, sure to just have delivered a killing blow. Then sees that the "corpse" is another object - the ninja, as an immediate action, changed himself with another object under the eyes of the samurai, unnoticed, and then hide himself. An immediate...

Two suggestions: - Sneak Attack. Please. Sudden strike is too weak. - Take a look in the APG alchemist for some idea for bombs. I love the double ninja thing. Make it powerful and capstone would be great. Think about some immediate action substitution power (you know, you think you just hit...

See.. I don't even like 4th edition so much but.. What's wrong with this item? It's very well on the lines of "bash evildoers protect innocent" of the Paladin. Moreover, has a daily "cooldown" and a critical proc.. I don't find it so boring. I mean, maybe I miss something because I didn't...

I see better the paladin as a Sohei. And commoners. Sort of exalted commoners, maybe. The struggle between Sohei and unjust Samurai ruler could be an hook for adventures and setting, IMHO.

I like this very much. No need of new classes for samurai. Cavalier and Fighter (mainly) fit the archetype very well IMO. For the hatamoto, the bard is good, even better a Cavalier/Bard/Battle Herald well versed in Diplomacy and Bluff (APG prestige class). Thumbs up! One thing: what do you...

Edited.

I see as perfectly reasonable power up the EB by 1 die from the old level, AND add the use of hellfire on the top of it. Nice Idea, I like it a lot. I like it more than the invocation option... just add in some mechanic to recover quickly from THAT damage (not stat damage in general). You...
