Heh heh. My players get to find out just how nasty this Sunday.

Heh heh. This is SO true. As a generally "simulationist" DM, I should point out that I LOVE the 4E DMG. It's the only one I've ever read through from cover to cover. Maybe it doesn't have the same information density as earlier editions, but at least it's readable. Sure a lot of it is...

The character is such a boor that everyone in the village is constantly trying to get him to 'adventure' in the hopes that he'll get himself killed?

Looks like it's something you get in addition to the normal benefits of a second wind. The RAW in the section on forced movement specifically state that it does not provoke "Opportunity Actions." Opportunity Actions are simply those you may take in response to the actions of combatants and you...

Yeah, i'm not so sure that the new edition is quite this easy to modify.

*ding ding* We have a winner!! See, they DO listen on occasion. You just have to scream VERY loudly.

No to mention that there's enough information floating around in the aether for most interested parties to gin up the skeleton of a product and then fill in the little fiddly bits when they get access to the core books and the SRD.

Silly conspiracy theorists.

So, the following responses are probably in one of the replies in this thread, but I'm gonna chime in without bothering to read because . . . well . . . no one else does it anway. First, If he wants to be a "silent blade in the night with a one shot kill ability, sounds like he needs to take...

What's got them to start disliking Paizo?

Heh. That's a good idea. I've already introduced Crimson Madder into my game.

I'm with Ari on this one.

Right. But now we're straddling the line between chemically and biochemically active here. (*sigh* More simulationist clomping nerdism, I know ;) A poison usually directly attacks a specific metabolic process or cellular structure. If all you wanted to do was dissolve flesh or bone, there's any...

Ehh. I don't mind this. I've always assumed that zombies and skeletons (and anything that's unintelligent really) are reasonably battleminded, even if they don't think per se. Basically, they know how to fight and that's about it.

Right. I think we're actually on the same page here. Marketing speak drives me batty. Though, good marketing speech doesn't need to be free of content. But yeah. They're not publishing under 4E because they don't want to. Not because they have no choice.

Well sure. It's entirely possible that's a big part of this. But, I suspect not. Or, if that's why, they're taking a huge risk. Besides, wouldn't they have announced Pathfinder RPS right after losing the license in that case?

Well, the major difference is that the 4E designers actually know the in's and out's of their new product and perhaps honestly believe it's better. Another major difference is that they were pimping their own product, not taking potshots at the soon-to-be-released product of a competitor. Not...

You're right. There really isn't a problem here, in the sense that business is business. And why does there have to be a problem? The RPG industry is absolutely fascinating and I just like to discuss it. The only actual problem I had was with the denials about the content of Lisa' letter to...

Correct. Use of the word "suck" was unnecessary hyperbole on my part. I apologize.

See, this is such a better way of stating your opinion than just making blanket statements about how stupid powergamers are. I'm far more comfortable keeping company with folks that make rational arguments for their preference, rather than just putting people down. I'm still not sure what my...
