My group has two rogues with Trap Spotter and they use it mainly to speed things up in the game. They don't actively have to search, so they can move through the dungeon more quickly. If you're already giving clues, that makes it somewhat less valuable of a feat, frankly.

Glad to see that they're doing so well. I've rarely regretted a book I bought from Paizo and I've never regretted a hardback purchase. I certainly can't say that about most versions of D&D.

Another Pathfinder fan here. It's the game we're currently playing in my group and it is the main game I buy these days. Both Paizo and Super Genius have gotten many dollars from me.

I have trouble believing I'd ever miss 2e. :p But your point is taken.

Well, I can't claim great virtue on the White Box -- my dad got it. And I got lucky with the Deities & Demigods and got it for $20 used about 20 years ago. I have kept the stuff I actually bought, though I have thought about selling off my 2e stuff. If anyone would be willing to buy it. :p

Pretty cool. My white box set is one of my favorite game possessions, along with my first printing Deities & Demigods. Maybe they'll print some of the books alone? I don't have the Greyhawk supplement, which always annoyed me, since it's my favorite setting.

Obviously I'm not explaining myself well enough here. My idea is that size doesn't increase your strength *stat*, so we don't see 3e-style Str score bloat. (I understand 4e is much the same way.) Here's how it would work: A halfling with a Str of 10 can carry 50 pounds and does a d6 with his...

I'm a 3e/Pathfinder fan, but one thing I've always found a tad ridiculous as stat bloat. Oh, the mental stats aren't too insane, usually, but it's not unusual to see a monster with a 30, 40, or even 50+ Strength score. My suggestion for 5e is: don't do this. Size should have an effect, but...

If ability scores are replacing skills, then they kind of have to go up with levels; or you need some other mechanism to have them improve with level. They haven't told us much yet, but I'm thinking there won't be a lot of stat increases. I think you'll have your Dex stat, with your dancing...

Since you have "attorney" in your name, you should know exactly what he means. ;) I'm sure that they'd love to re-release everything. But do they actually have full rights to everything? You'd think so, but the whole Dragon Magazine archive CD debacle showed that isn't necessarily so. What...

This was a big ol' fight that happened in the run up to 3e. Sonofapreacherman doesn't like the way fireball worked in 2e, where you had a little pellet that flew through the air and then exploded into the fireball. I don't remember exactly what he DID want, but he wanted it really, really...

Which is a problem that Pathfinder fixed. I'd happily play a Pathfinder fighter to 20th level. I'd happily play any of the Pathfinder classes to 20th level. And you can bet the design crew has studied Pathfinder, since that is their competition.

Yeah, brontosaurus is the proper name and apatosaurus is the wrong one. Even the spell check agrees with me. :devil:

If you are going to have the paladin and monk as they have been done in the past, they have to be LG and lawful respectively. It's part of what they are. Monk would be easier to change, but if you make a paladin that isn't LG, it's not really a paladin any more. A holy warrior class is...

I don't see anything wrong with WotC starting to do adventure paths. The more good campaigns out there, the better. I don't know about Dungeon now, but I always found its quality spotty in the past. As for an in-print Dragon -- I would love that. I subscribed until the end and I'd subscribe...

That's good to know. It wasn't my impression from what I had heard about 4e and what I knew from the previous editions. Good to hear I'm wrong on that. :)

Given that D&D 5e has 10 times as many votes as D&D Next, and plain D&D has twice as many votes as that, I think D&D Next is dead in the water. Assuming they listen to us. :)

D&D 5e. That's what it's going to be called by those of us on the internet and, really, who else are we going to listen to? :p

Not so! In Pathfinder, you can multiclass exactly like in 3e, but most characters don't have to. Classes are modular, especially as they add more splatbooks, and it's easy to switch out the powers you don't want for ones you do. It's not entirely flexible -- you'd still have to multiclass to...

Maybe WotC could ask Paizo really, really nicely to use their gnomes? It's the first type of gnome I've seen with an actual purpose. Halflings, though, don't need to worry. They'll be there. And they were BAD MOFOs in 3e! I played an all-halfling party once. No one saw us until we were...
