What I love of this thread is how something can be both the best and the worst feature of 4e for different people, and for the exact same reasons. Different strokes and all that, I suppose :) My love list: * Simplified maths * Minions * Rituals * Skill challenges My hate list: * Sameness...

Wow, those are the real players? My group is going to be disappointed when I tell them they're not real players after 4 years of gaming together... :(

I have to confess that our main experiences with BD&D (Rules Cyclopedia / Labyrinth Lord) were indeed post-3e. In fact, They've been after several 3.x TPKs in Age of Worms. So it's understandable for us to be paranoid ;) We also used some houserules: * "Broken shield": If a character had a...

Basic low-level D&D survival tips: * Never, ever, touch anything. Have someone touch it first. * Never, ever, enter anywhere. Have someone enter first. * Never, ever, fight anyone. Have someone fight them firs... instead ;)

In that case, Valeros has a Wisdom above 8, took the Iron Will feat and has a couple of magic items available. You see, Valeros was build specifically to fail Will saves, so it's pointless to use him as an example of how easy is for high level fighters to fail them.

If you're against someone who can only miss on a 1, a 2nd-level spell isn't going to save you ;)

In the preview it's said that it allows you to cast a metamagic spell without making it a full-round action.

Risus is one of the simplest and best systems I've ever seen. Hidden Invasion is very simple too, and it comes with an X-Filesque setting. Fudge or BRP can be made simple, although I tend to see them more as toolboxes than as proper systems.

Ironically, here in Spain there's a whole generation of gamers who started with books full of male and female nudity, even on the covers (which, IIRC, were specifically remade). Those were good times, hiding your games from your parents along with the pornography :D

But it won't, because they prefer to play together ;)

Because there's still hope for the human race.

Same here. As for psionics, I'd say both: You can be born with the "spark", or learn how to call it.

It's me or, more than "Parent* Paizo, Parent WotC, please stop fighting", it looks like "Parent Paizo, please come back home. Parent WotC doesn't know how to cook"*. If I were James, Erik, Lisa or Jason, I'd be pretty tired right now of being accused of one thing or another because of the...

Iterative attacks are there because if you use PFRPG with a 3.5 module, you'll want to know where that +23/+18/+13 comes from, and because, believe it or not, some people actually liked iterative attacks (I know our group does). But, if you don't like them, they've given you a way out via the...

Oh, but why choose? Let's make them fight and make up :D (And then I wonder where do my nightmares come from...)

Don't forget the mud, the thongs and the camera.

I'm currently running two Pathfinder Beta campaigns: Rise of the Runelords (about to end #4, paused because of RL scheduling problems) and Legacy of Fire (just 2 sessions). We also have a randomly scheduled game of Labyrinth Lord with rotating DMs, and I'm about to start playing in a 4e game...

Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting (works in any edition ;)). The reason for this is that you said you wanted only one book, so it must be the book which offers most variety. Ravenloft, Planescape, Eberron, Greyhawk, Birthright and Dark Sun are great settings in their genres, but in Golarion...

If it helps, I'm currently running it, and it's being a blast. I love how the PCs have a more or less clear mission, but no established way to accomplish it. It's full of possible events and places to go. I don't want to sound fanboyish, but it dethroned Keep on the Borderlands as my sandbox...

If they don't take radiant damage, they respawn. If they respawn, they haven't been defeated. If they haven't been defeated, the don't award xp.
