If I'm reading all this correctly, all these big words next to eachother with little to explain their correlation, then I think you may be forgetting the important thing that differentiates baseball from golf in respect to something like power attack. Golf balls don't move. The next thing I...

I've only been paying the loosest amount of attention to this thread and so I'm not going to try and understand the context of what is going on. However, this phenomenon can be easily explained. To test it out yourself you'll need a baseball bat. That's it really, just a bat and a ball. Take...

Raneth, for my money I don't think ALL undead should be universally evil. There are many, probably most, that should be but I think the undead themselves don't have to be. With that said, I agree with the existing lore that the SPELLS to create them should be evil/unspeakable. Being a lich...

Technically, yes it can be done. Logically it should never be done. You are now starting to understand yet another reason why the Leadership feat is banned outright in so many games.

For my money, I don't really care if psionics is a form of magic. I think that distinction - the one represented by magic-psionics transparency - should probably be made on a setting/DM/game level rather than by WotC. However, as you (lutecius) correctly say there is already; arcane, divine, and...

Huh? What? How? But.. What? 'j' is right?? Since when? Then again.. Pluto isn't a planet anymore so what do I know. Oh, Pluto is Greek, not Roman as I always thought. Completely tangential I know but it is news to me. I think.. Uncavalier is when I push an old lady into the mud. Cavalier is...

Because, just like sufficiently advanced technology, psionics is not magic. And certainly not arcane magic. Or, put another way, EVERYTHING is just magic. So, no divine, nor arcane, nor advanced technology, nor psionics; just magic. But that means we are basing it only on what a peasant thinks...

That logic doesn't make sense or necessarily follow, for anything. If wizards are fighters, it's redundant to fighters. {which they aren't} If wizards aren't fighters, it's game breaking, and adds an unnecessary complex system. Uh..

Any word on when the forum becomes usable again? I'd check but I find the site physically detracts when I try.

I hope I'm in the right area. I think I am.. I'm having an issue lately that whenever someone replies to a thread and quotes me that I am getting multiple notifications of that quote. So, as an example, Miswell and I have been having a conversation and when he quoted me last time - the post...

Nope. Also, it would have been a standard rule only in 3e. So, while you may ignore "tradition" the game should not if they are trying to recapture a specific feeling of how something is supposed to work. Well, no that's not what I'm saying or asking. You seem to be saying that "because" or...

I'm not sure what is covered in the OGL/SRD and what isn't. So I think it is probably a very terrible idea for me just to quote whole sections of the psionics books to prove you wrong. Let me just say that in those 3e books that there is a clear distinction that psionics is its own thing. There...

Because: and: You, and GSHamster, have answered it yourself... yourselves? Beyond that, if you still need more I say (to the best of my knowledge); EVERY EDITION OF THE GAME has also had a magic/psionic split in source. All of them. Different degrees of parallel or transparency but they have...

Unless I say otherwise, it is probably safe to assume that everything I write is "to the best of my knowledge" or "my best guess". I would have said so if I knew exactly what you thought, unfortunately MY telepathic abilities haven't kicked in yet. My bad. Agreed. Which was my point about the...

Not to mention Druids, Paladins, Rangers, Demon-Worshipers, Devil-Worshipers, and Domain-casting clerics. I'm sure there are others. You CAN throw the net out very large about what is or is not arcane magic, wide enough to include psionics and warlocks. You CAN similarly throw it wide enough...

Addition in the sense of more/new books? Or Edition, in the sense of a Pathfinder 2.0? I only own a few books but I don't really see what you mean. What kinds of rules exceptions? Everything I've seen; various hardcover, softcover and pdfs, seems backwards compatible. Do you mean things like...

Mostly, agreed. The problem is I don't think you can get 10 people in a room and get 6 of them to confirm what "good story hooks" means. Let alone "good art". But I do agree that better descriptions (probably longer ones too) would be helpful. Again, I want descriptions of those monsters...

Internal consistency. Have you ever watched lord of the rings? Then played World of Warcraft? Both have orcs. Both have goblins. Both have giant living, talking trees, humans, halflings, elves and so on. Are they the same? No. Of course they aren't. If you were writing a book of monsters for...

I've been playing DnD since 2005. Not 40 years, certainly. In that time I have had opportunity to see 3e's, 4e's and PF's take on the same monster. Do you know what I can tell you? None of them are the same. They don't live in the same places, often times they don't even have the same...

This will be fun to dispute. Okay.... A. Part of the problem is how you define "wizardly things". Also, why should the "shugenja" do "wizardly things" in the first place? B. How does it make things "feel similar"? Consider 3e's run, you had all the classes in the splatbooks, say Complete...
