Aye, just as you are not persuaded, your argument is not really floating with me either. I just don't think that changing one monsters damage from drain to damage has that big of an effect on the game. If your DM still wants to use drain abilities on her level 3 party she can. Nothing prevents...

I find your post to be humorous. It seems that the idea of wisdom damage vs. wisdom drain does not seem to sit well with you. But the point at which you inferred that one over the other made the PLAYERS think outside of the box is where you lost me. What does taking drain over ability damage...

To those that are kind of not liking the Allip changes for PF or the Rust Monster changes for 4e, why not just play them the way you think they should be played in your own games? I do not mind in the case of the allip the drain being converted to damage, it pretty much brings it in line with a...

What else specifically (aside from animal companions) about the PFRPG previews gives you the 4e vibe? I personally am not getting that same "4e in feel" feeling when thinking about how animal companions are being handled. 4e companions seem to me like they are just a die type extension of the...

Perhaps this would be a little easier if you told us what you liked? Let me tell what i have gathered from the PF campaign setting book. 1. It is broken down by region, and most of those regions are unique enough to be good seeds for campaigns in and of them selves. As far as variety of theme...

Hello, I read this thread and the source thread written by the OP. It would seem to me that 4e and its progression of rules and the level of balance is about on par with the previous edition. Yes there are elements in both 4e and 3e that I think were hastily released, and perhaps did not...

This seems like a really great decision to me. I do not buy into the assertion that this will hurt FLGS in any way. The way I see it, is that Paizo has a pretty good fanbase that already had every intention of buying the printed book before this PDF price was announced. I think such a cheap...

On the topic of Fallot RPGs. There was another one that got canned when Bethesda got the rights to make the Fallout 3 video game. It eventually got released under the name Exodus, and all of the Fallout IP was renamed so as to not be infringing but easily identifiable to Fallout fans. You can...

I really hope there is some good 3pp support for PFRPG, as it is what my group is dead set on playing, and I would love to see some support for it. I think if it does well, that it may in fact receive some good support. But even if Paizo does not knock one far enough out of the park for other...

Neat! Thanks for all the replies folks. I am sorry for my confusing term. But just to clarify the term "OGL Bloat": I was referencing the large number of d20/OGL pruducts that were in support of D&D and new settings/systems in and of themselves. I had heard it called bloat and glut, and I used...

Before I get started, I would like to state that this topic is not intended to be a snipe at any particular publisher (past or present), nor is it a stab at any particular edition, and I would appreciate it if the folks replying could be respectful of one another's opinions, as it is opinions...

I have never subscribed, but I buy PF books regularly from my FLGS and sometimes from PAIZO themselves. For me, Paizo picked up where WOTC left off for the version of D&D that I enjoy most. I tried to like 4e. I bought some of that material and tried to play and run with the system for a good 6...

Ahhh.. Player targeting is always a touchy topic. As far how I play my monsters in that regard it really depends on how smart they are, and how well they work together. When fighting creatures that aren't so smart or devious, I just have them attack the closest PC, or determine it randomly if...

I have seen it all over the place, from my local game shop to various gaming portals on the web. Usually its so much what I would call a war, but would probably describe it as a couple of groups of folks differing opinions on a thing that both feel strongly about it. There are a couple of...

I have run various versions of D&D over the years and a myriad of other games as well. For my D&D games I prefer the 3e system followed very closely by 2e. I will admit 4e brought a couple of neat ideas to the table, but it just didn't have staying power with the two groups I play with. Its not...

I am not a fan of 4e. Hate is probably too strong of a word to describe my feelings about the system. My group gave it a solid 6 month day in court playing it once a week for that time, and just slowly came to the realization that we really weren't having as much fun with it as we did with some...

Well in this case I think the design article is correct. In previous editions a fighter/barbarian would be about the same as a barbarian fighter in so much as they would both have roughly the choices and could in fact be made exactly the same if one so desired. Do to the way multiclassing is...

Wulf, There is a simple solution to your issue of unbalanced point buy. Apply the bonuses and penalties before the players spend any points. As no score starts higher than 10 in point buy and everything from at least 12 and on down cost only a single point, you will find that no matter where...

I am guessing since the d20 SRD site is listed as a sponsor on the dungeonaday website that they have no issues with the linking. love, malkav
