[QUOTE="jeffh, post: 5876357, member: 2642"] I think the exact words were closer to "a couple of changes", said so offhandedly as to imply they were quite minor. Certainly they didn't include whatever rework of Turning Undead is currently underway, for example! I got the impression they were minor changes along the lines of ([I]this is strictly an example[/I]) "Magic Missile now does X damage instead of Y" - tweaks to details, not major changes to the core - though this is admittedly a subjective impression based on limited information. On the Paizo vs WotC thread, I too don't understand the common assumption that one's success has to come at the expense of the other. Right now I run two games and am prepping a third. One uses 4E, one uses Pathfinder, and the new one will use an OSR game called Basic Fantasy Role-Playing, which resembles "red box" Basic D&D in most respects. To hear some people on all sides tell it - Paizo fans, WotC fans and OSR fans alike - this should have caused the world to explode. It has done no such thing. Really, I just checked out my window to be sure, the world is most assuredly still there. [/QUOTE]
