Occasional light fading; nothing that affects usability. No smudging yet.

Given the formatting, that's clearly not the case. For example, take a look at the sphyinx entry. But even if it were, as a DM I personally find ease-of-use to be a primary concern in a book like this -- I'd rather have the information available quickly and without a second glance so I can keep...

I like much of 5E, but one thing about stat blocks bothers me. Stat blocks only include the "Saves" line if the creature in question is proficient in one or more saves. Further, when there *is* a saves line, only the specific saving throws with which the creature is proficient are included...

I just picked up two copies at the FLGS (one for myself, one for a friend), and I have another copy pre-ordered on Amazon (for the wife). I'll probably buy just one copy of the MM and DMG, and I'll likely get those at the FLGS.

Maybe I'm coming to this discussion late, but wouldn't EA have been fine something like: Choose an element (fire, cold, sonic, acid, etc.). Your spells ignore elemental resistance of this type, and treat immunity to this type as resistance. This feat can be taken multiple times, blah blah blah.

You're welcome. You had me at "ridiculously large crossbow" (or whatever it was called -- I don't have the book in front of me). :cool:

You did some amazing work. In fact, the Bugbear entry is what sold the book to me while browsing at the FLGS. :)

Completely agree that Pathfinder is suffering a severe case of bloat. Personally, I'd love a revision, but the concept of a 2nd edition seems to be an anathema on the Paizo boards.

I really, really hope WotC wises up and releases the rules in PDF. Not doing so would simply drive players who prefer PDFs into the arms of competitors. :(

No worries. I can understand hyperbole fatigue, especially on the Internets. ...and thanks for the apology. :)

Maybe it's just a question being able to conceal it and fire it one-handed? Though put me in the "I hope there is a mechanical difference which we're just not seeing yet" camp.

Understood. I was more using Hero Lab as an example of the type of problem that can occur. I don't necessarily need to use Hero Lab specifically, either.

No offense taken, and no ultimatum implied. I'm buying 5E no matter what, and just want to see it succeed.

I understand that EN World is not affiliated with WotC. It was intended as an open letter to be discussed, but if it violates the rules or you feel it is otherwise counter-productive, please feel free to remove it.

I am not, and have never been, a fan of WAR. Agree it looks totally XXTreme! But not everything has to appeal to me, and I love the rest of the art. ;)

Dear WotC: Over on the Lone Wolf forums there is a discussion about Hero Lab supporting 5E. The gist is that their hands are tied until you releases news on 5E licensing. This is exactly what I feared would happen. You should have learned from 4E and embraced the OGL early and publicly for...

I think Burnt Offerings (http://paizo.com/products/btpy7zkr?Pathfinder-1-Rise-of-the-Runelords-Chapter-1-Burnt-Offerings) qualifies; it was written for 3.5.

Epic rules :)

I like Basic overall, but the PDF needs a quick revision to fix a few bugs: The version # is all over the place The pages numbers are backwards -- that is, in a printed copy the page numbers end up near the spine, rather on the outer edge of the page Rather than releasing a separate...

So if I'm nauseated by the incessant arguing in this thread, but then I get up and go to the bathroom, come back, and get nauseated again, is that broken? :]
