Well, it was too much at the time. But, design is fun, y'know?

Thanks for letting ME know.:confused:

Not enough.

True-- but I still have some reservations about what constitutes a "corner case." Against very high and very low AC creatures, you're obviously better with four attacks than with two. So they are corner cases with respect to the spectrum of ACs. However, if your campaign regularly features...

I'm not sure how old this file is, but it's what I have with me. See attached.

For completeness, and also YES. For example, undead won't have crit immunity, etc. This was largely revised by Glassjaw; perhaps he'll pop in with other examples.

Well, when you put it explicitly like that... Uhh, yes. Though another way to look at it is that the ability to fly is valued so highly (from a CR standpoint) that most of the creatures CR4 and under that can fly are either compensated somehow (such as normal animals that are stupid and/or...

No. A big let-down, I know-- the last time I used InDesign to build an index (Grim Tales) it was buggy as hell. And a ton of work. But I can tell you that the bookmarks in the PDF version are pretty darn good. I'll send you a link to a free download.

The separation of spells into Rote, Restricted, and Ritual changes the rate at which spellcasters can regain these spells, by tying them to the Rest Mechanic and the number of action points that the caster has to spend to refresh that slot. Rote spells come back after you rest (cost = 0 AP)...

That's why stating the design goals up front is so important. I am glad to help you redirect your gaming dollars to products that you will enjoy. There is no doubt that Trailblazer caters to a specific style of play, and attempts to answer a specific set of complaints. In addition to my own...

This is a Trailblazer campaign? I'd love to hear more about it.

Beyond a certain level (and certainly inside the sweet spot), versatility in 3e RAW is an issue of time, not money. If you present the players with a problem that can only be accomplished with Spell X, and they don't have Spell X, then you force them to... *sigh* go back to town, find someone...

You need to step back and figure out what you're trying to accomplish. It's not balance; it's not a design question. It sounds to me like a "story" thing-- you seem to want the players to have to seek out new teachers and new spells, because that makes for an interesting motivator. You can...

I know I'd pointed out more of the similarities to the 1e monk. While most of the itemized list is still there, I had more notes as to why each "1e-ism" was important to the balance of the game. Overall just note the similarities in "party role" between the rogue and the monk. In terms of role...

Strangely enough, that's not exactly the explanation (excuse?) for the tiny font. We were pretty far along in the process when some of the print parameters changed, and we were faced with either using a really small font on the tables (seriously, it's like a ridiculous 5 pt font...) or resetting...

You'll get the new one. The files were updated and replaced. Too many fixes to itemize!

It's not a rules question, it's a flavor question. So implement it according to your tastes. It's a bit like asking me what you should name your goblin NPC. My spreadsheet analysis suggests, "Gleebo."

You'd get nearly the same effect if you just double the number of smites the TB paladin gets from 7th level up, with a lot less bookkeeping. The PF version is a lot more like rage-- only thematically, you kind of have to tie it to the "duration" of the enemy, rather than the encounter. I don't...

Life demanded my free time back.

I wasn't aware that I'd issued errata for Trailblazer.
