Thanks folks. That makes sense. I guess the alternative to upping the bonus to +2 would have been to flat out penalize everything you were not proficient with Disadvantage (like weapon proficiencies), and that would have been way too heavy handed to apply to all saves and non-proficient skills.

Hi all, I wasn't aware of the starting +2 proficiency bonus change from the final playtest document until I saw the sample Fighter character from the boxed set. Seems like I missed out on some info at some point. Was this discussed at length anywhere, or can anyone provide some insight into...

I read it, and then ended my turn immediately.

I completely agree with this, and it is one of the big things that encouraged me early in the 5E playtest. My same group has played sense some of us were in junior high back in the 80s. We are going on 25 years of gaming together, and in our old 2E games (which remain the best and most...

Hi folks, I haven't played Pathfinder in quite a while, but my group's normal GM/DM said he might want to run a campaign between now and when D&DNext comes out in August. Maybe Skull & Shackles, but could be something else. In looking through the options in all of the books, I was wondering...
