Referencing the Bo9S legacy is hardly "new" right now. It's from 2006. I chalk this up to lack of familiarity with the new names. I doubt people intuitively grasp - by name alone - the function of Rope Trick, Gentle Repose, or Sepia Snake Sigil. Or grasp the difference between Grease and...

Passive perception should be 16, not 11. (Or the perception bonus should be +1 instead of +6. Either one.)

Hmm... I do like that. Warserer Wararian Warard Wank :p ;)

Monster roles, much like PC roles, can't be explained with just a single word. The controller's main schtick is that he'll alter conditions to hamper the enemy. This includes moving them around, but also has area effects, debuffing enemies, fooling them with illusions, reducing their senses...

Ok, pet peeve of mine but... Shift is the new name of the 5' step. Slide is forcing movement upon somebody. I realize they sound similar, just like Burst and Blast, but they're not the same thing. Thank you.

This was the first thing I thought of when I first read Cleave (ok, no, the first thing was "hey look it's not the same as 3.x cleave"). Then I started using a little math and came to the conclusion that this "loophole" is useless unless you're fighting opponents with extreme differences in AC...

I've already pre-ordered my set. If I could get a quick, easy preview of the books I already paid for I wouldn't refuse but I never start games with just pdfs. I need something hardcopy before running a game. If I found out about the pdfs after I already got my physical books, there's no point...

You are now assuming 10.000 alpha-downloads will also lead to 10.000 Pathfinder RPG sales. I refer you to my post above, #9 in the thread, as to why I don't believe this will be the case.

The initial effect of Sleep is to make you drowsy - mechancially speaking, it slows you. Still easy to justify why you can maintain the stance. If Magus Coeruleus is right then this stance will require a minor action to maintain, so if you're really asleep it won't work anymore. I wouldn't...

First off, an RPG doesn't need a big online component, 3rd party publishers, or even to win over every single player who is satisfied with an earlier edition. Even if there was no GSL or DnDInsider at all we'd still have D&D and it will live. The fact that we do/will have these things can only...

So you made a thread and get upset that everybody who posted in it so far is Doing It Wrong. Now maybe you need to work on presentation then. Try to rephrase your original post so that we may all be illuminated and bask in the glory.

Well yes, technically she is a half-dragon. But dragonborn would still look like her if 4e really was anime. :)

God, if only. Then at least we'd have reached a consensus by now and wouldn't need to discuss "D&D is..." all the time. Plus, the dragonborn would all look like Mink and we wouldn't be shocked to learn they have boobs. Also, moe halflings. ;)

And now for my anecdotal evidence: A few years ago I've had two girlfriends join in with their boyfriends, in seperate games. Both of the campaigns still work out peachy to this day. One of them has by now broken up with that boyfriend, and even then it still works out. In the end I'm sure...

It's called "disarm". That should nullify most martial maneuvers. If you can also immobilize and silence them (in case of the warlord screaming around orders), I think you've got your bases covered.

The paladin and cleric (and presumably the warlord too) can heal people as a minor action. No need to stop attacking.

Are you calling me a Pathfinder fan? I fought duels over less, sir. ;) And the point isn't about whether or not Pathfinder is out yet. The point was that if there's thousands of people cancelling right now it's unlikely that "the suits at Habsro" immediately make the connection to the OGL...

The OGL Project was our last, best hope for unity. It failed. In the year of the Pathfinder war it became something greater, our last best hope...for victory. The year is 2008. The place: D&D 4. :cool:

Probem with that theory is if there's suddenly thousands of cancellations it's far more likely people assume Pathfinder is behind it. To prevent another Pathfinder a decade down the road (about 2020 ad., the year where we all will be cyberpunk ;) ) they may decide to squelch any ogl initiative...

And the rules of OD&D, 1e, 2e, and 3e made throwing sand clearly more effective than magic missile? :\ Because if not the comparison is useless. If having mechanical support for actions is not like D&D then goddamn I guess I don't want to play D&D after all.
