Pathfinder is an evolution of D&D, and D&D is RPG.net's favorite whipping boy. This doesn't shock or surprise me one little bit.

No skills got "less potent", they almost all across the board got better. They certainly didn't get worse. Every class has access to 1 more skill point per level (favored class bonus). Fly skill isn't a skill tax, unless you can, you know, fly. Resource management has always been a part of the...

Of these, I know Ray of Enfeeblement was toned down, because it ignited a big crap-storm on the Paizo boards, and I'm pretty sure some others got save/round mechanics too. Not sure about the others off the top of my head. But really, any change you make that favors one group will massively piss...

They streamlined the mechanic for all maneuvers, and defaulted to the defensive position as being better. For a good reason. If it were equal, then special maneuvers would dominate combat. If you leave in feats to specialize in certain maneuvers, then the math would swing to the attacker and the...

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. Most of his points are flat out wrong, and those other complainers that I've seen around the web are those upset that their pet power trick got "nerfed". Massive ammounts of playtest went into this revision, and not all of the changes are...

It's painfully obvious he hasn't read the rules, nor playtested them. Most of his "Pathfinder made it worse" responses are flat-out wrong, and it smells like troll-bait to me.

The tiefling was included in the preview specifically because it's used heavily in Pathfinder #25, the launch of the Council of Thieves AP. The preview was to allow players to make use of their class abilities (animal companions, familiars, mounts,etc) and to stat up monsters in the adventure so...

http://paizo.com/store/downloads/pathfinder/pathfinderRPG/v5748btpy88yj To the right, it should say "Add Hardcover: $49.95". Beneath that it should say "Add PDF: $9.95". Assuming you have an account, pick that, sign in, and go to your "my downloads" page and get in the queue.

I'm not sure what kind of major re-write to the 3.5 rules you were hoping for, nor is it very clear what the problem you are hoping to avoid might be, but this is my answer: 1) Fighters still roll to hit with attacks 2) Iterative attacks are still in 3) Spells only roll to hit with touch...

At the minimum, I'd want to see every monster they used from the ToH(s) in their adventures to date, AND a PRPG version of all the templates they used from the Advanced Bestiary as an appendix.

According to those who stayed later on Sunday than I did, they didn't sell out. But the initial "pyramid" of books were gone Thursday (I say initial because when the stack got low, they opened more boxes and restocked).

I haven't read the book cover to cover, but I did play in 4 Pathfinder Society sessions and have been following the development pretty closely, so I'll give it a shot. 1. The only answer I have here is Mystic Theurge. That PrC has class-specific solutions for the problem, so there is no...

You know, I only got a glimpse under the cloth, you may be right about there not being an actual table there. It would have been funny if the stack just got shorter and shorter as the Con wore on...

I am having a hard time grasping the concept of a bad Reaper mini sculpt. Really, I am. They have some of the best sculpts ever, and they are better all the time. I can honestly say I can't recall seeing any real duds from them, especially in the past 5+ years. I have seen all of the Crocodile...

The big "pyramid" of books was restocked periodically. The big table they were on was packed with more boxes of books. When I left around noon on sunday, there were still plenty on the table.

Got mine in the dealer hall, 8/13/09, roughly 10 minutes after they opened the doors. My group was fortunate enough to have a payment line spontaneously form (mostly) behind us, so it wasn't so tough to hold all those hefty tomes!

It was Saturday night, at the convention center. Somebody pulled the fire alarm, and the fire trucks were there in under 5 minutes. The fire marshall MADE us leave. I don't know how long it took for the all-clear, as we were done for the night anyway and we just went to the Ram for dinner, so...

Not to duck most of your questions, I will try to address these specifics. Note that you can use all of these as written with Paizo's future modules, which is (as I stated) their goals. The human fighter gains: +2 to any stat, +1hp for every level of fighter (favored class now gives...

LoL! Yeah, I guess I fell into that one. Back in MY day, D&D was actually POPULAR, and it was in fact "cool" to play! You know, back when it was satanic, and taught you how to actually cast spells. Blackleaf NOOOO!!!!!

One more note, they did this partially to address the "power creep" coming from the later WotC splatbooks. Now if you choose to use all of your 3.5 material with PRPG, you don't have to worry about the base races and classes being (or seeming) like a sub-optimal choice. But honestly, Paizo...
