Funny how a night's rest and some coffee makes a circus like this worth a little more of one's time.

Great! Then let's see some. I didn't actually say I had anything to teach you on the subject, merely that you should use some in this instance. Actually, you have defended it. Read your own words - you are quite happy people jumping impossible distances with a high jump skill. Critiquing my...

As you are new to the thread and actually challenging something genuine, I shall answer. I have seen attack sequences with swords (duel wielded) faster than 1 per second - a lot faster, and in the real world, you get stabbed, you tend to die a lot. Killing something the size of a condo usually...

Of course it is. You don't even have to play to understand that - just read the 3rd Ed. rules and then the 5th, and you cannot miss the fact.

Incredible - I'm off to bed and not visiting this ridiculous thread any longer.

It is blindingly obvious, surely? The rules ALWAYS state when something is ki based, magic based or divine etc. etc. This feat doesn't say anything of the sort. Are you going to tell me slicing someone with a dagger is supernatural or magical now? No - because it al also blindingly obvious...

Utterly off the point, and another straw man argument. Nowhere, in any edition, EVER, has there been a rule, a bit of cosmological fluff or anything else that completely ignores the laws of physics unless magic is involved. You throw something up, it comes down. It takes fall damage if it's...

You haven't bothered to read Feather Fall then? It slows you to 10 feet per second... so now apply physics and admit you got the wrong end of then stick. Plus, Feather Fall specifically slows your body down in a fall - it doesn't make you immune to the consequences of falling like this...

4 out of 5 rating for Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes Filled with material I will use, and all couched in the ever-interesting cosmos-view of the great Mordenkainen.

Great news :)

A fair number of people here are trying to change what I have clearly stated to suit their own preference and arguments. Some are trying to ignore that I am talking about the realism of a mundane non-magical/non-ki etc. skill by saying 'but magic'. It's a tired old set of forum tactics not...

Then make it both legendary and within the realms of physical possibility. Too hard for them maybe?

I didn't say game-breaking. Nice try at a strawman. I said effectively, and now state, 'counterintuitive to the point of farce'. Why don't quote me on that? Any game which takes the time to explain where divine and arcane magic comes from, where elemental powers come from, where fiendish...

Yes - it's a pass for me and everyone I know in my two game groups, which it wasn't until this last release came out. Let's hope Paizo see some sense and drop this. Otherwise they are going to lose a lot of customers. If D&D was a superhero game, then this would be fine... but it's not, and...

Which last one minute, slows the person down considerably, costs a finite magic resource and isn't widely available to all character classes. It doesn't ignore suspension of disbelief either. I really shouldn't need to explain all of that to someone of your experience, or at all in fact. It...

Legendary skill feats... why oh why? Infinite fall distance and no damage is the poster-child for this ridiculous mega-powergamey superhero trivialisation of the fantasy genre. PF2 will be a superhero game, and for those that don't want it, just another failure in the long list of d20 games...

No Jeanneliza, I just trust my judgement on the matter, for what I consider good reasons. You should not do me the disservice of assuming I am self-deluded in this respect - your presumption would be entirely baseless if you did. If I witness sexism, regard it after due reflection as sexism...

Thankfully only on three occasions in 35+ years of attending such events, large and small. In both cases I was not only able to judge what was sexism (and in one case racism) but able to articulate myself to the persons involved and organisers perfectly ably. This was true at two cons and at a...

Just to be clear. If you are more concerned about what might go wrong if sexism is challenged at events etc., even to the point of being paralysed into inaction, then at best you aren't helping, and at worst, you are passively enabling it. If you openly admit that physically assaulting someone...
