Because I never think the current system is the best or lacks room for improvement.

They, along with the Ready action, strike me as an adaptation of the "Overwatch" mechanic from many board/miniature games.

Was it Clark Peterson who said he cringed whenever a player picked up a mini and tapped a path using squares? I'm the same way and yet, for some campaigns (like my upcoming Samurai game) I'm on board with them. But not necessarily for all campaigns.

I quite agree, critters with reach are a "fun" aspect of AoOs. For those of you that like/love them, let me ask you this. Do you love them all equally? For example, would you be ok with seeing some of the movement ones go away but keep say, digging in a pouch for a potion or firing a missile...

I'm a current Pathfinder DM. Who's tossed Attacks of Opportunity and I think my game is better for it - more cinematic, less fiddly, and it means that battlemats are a thing of the past for us. I think it's been a breath of fresh air. No more taking Improved Unarmed Strike just so you can...

I think asserting that there's a point of D&D misses the point of D&D. And you're welcome to think what you will about free-form advancement, no matter how factually deficient it is. Play your game. Don't tell me I'm playing mine wrong.

Always possible, like what Green Ronin did with the adaptations for their Freeport setting.

http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/faq Why aren't you publishing 4th Edition products? What it sort of glosses over is, as was mentioned above, with the PRPG, their business is in the hands of no other company.

Indeed, what of the publisher's who've already left D&D to forge the way with their own brands, Pazio aside. What of the Mongoose, the Goodman, and the Green Ronin, for example? They've invested in not3.x/PF and not4e and made (or enhanced) their own systems, how credible is it to think that...

I like pie.

Are you suggesting that OD&D, AD&D 1e, and AD&D 2e aren't D&D as well? What about this product? Amazon.com: The Mongoose Pocket Players Handbook (9781904577669): August Hahn: Books

What I meant was that I think the game has no problem if a DM just says whenever that the party advances. Yes players like xp, but only because it brings them closer to a new level. But xp has no intrinsic value otherwise, so I don't think it's required.

Again, I ask - What is D&D? Please cite your sources. It's that simple and that silly. (And yes, I think 4e is D&D. Just as I think Pathfinder is.)

Facts are one thing, personal attacks other. Lets keep the discussion civil. -Stalker0

Note that you're replying to a quote of mine that specifically dealt with feats, not other aspects of character creation. I said that some feats got nerfed, just as others got buffed. I would be happy to provide you with examples, if you feel that I am wrong or that you feel your own...

What is D&D?

It's a shame that my OD&D, 1e AD&D, 2e AD&D, and 3e D&D books aren't D&D any more. Only with gamers will you have a case where D&D isn't D&D.

As balanced as piecemeal armor...or Vow of Poverty. Thanks for your perspective and explaining how you view the books.

My objections aren't mere flavor - I'm about to run a Pathfinder L5R game, so I may end up using some of the information introduced in UC (although based on some of your other posts, I'd rather use a more historical ninja), I personally think the Magus is an incredibly well executed class, and...

:p I find this to be true in a lot of cases regarding Pathfinder material alleviating the desire to import older material, but I think a lot of it comes down to personal preference. Here's what I mean: Let's say there's something in 3.x that you like and Paizo has introduced the same element...
