Message: <blockquote data-quote="Evilmonkeygod" data-source="post: 5767757" data-attributes="member: 59733">You do realize that one of the major goals of Paizo was to make Pathfinder pretty much fully backwards compatible, right?? and from everything I've read on the Paizo forums, that is indeed the case.As for the epic points you raised, your talking about the small list of place-holder rules in the Core Rulebook, which were added in to allow people to play past 20, since it is widely acknowledged that the ELH is a stinking pile of steam hot garbage. Those rules can easily be ignored, as 1) they aren't the actual official post 20 rules of Pathfinder and 2) We're using a different set of rules than just ELH.As for being able to critically hit undead 100% of the time, that's been something that's been discussed for as long as I can remember, back during the 3.x days. There was no real good reason why you couldn't do so, as in the vast majority of cases their physiology is pretty much the same as a human, and while they are tougher, if you land a particularly deadly and devastating strike, there's no reason why it shouldn't be a critical hit.  Now then, as I read this entire thread before my first post, I have noticed your already banning things, making sweeping changes, etc, especially to epic spellcasting. If your willing to do that, including the changes to critical hits with Pathfinder shouldn't be too big a deal. Just look at page 407 of my Core Rulebook, wherein they lay out epic rules, and I see nothing about characters getting max hit points per hit die. And that certainly doesn't exist pre-epic, I should know as I am playing in over 6 PbPs using Pathfinder rules, and figuring how a DM does HP at each level for a new game is always an important question. Now, maybe your thinking of how at 1st level, your DM can allow you max hit points for level 1, but if so, that does not go beyond level 1, unless your DM says so. Extra feats are really no big deal, you can pile them on to Artifacts at hardly any cost. Also, there's no particular reason to use that rule, as it is far more beneficial to leveling, than it would be here.</blockquote>
