[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6288375, member: 4937"] There is nothing balanced to begin with. Pathfinder basically set itself up as the replacement 3.X system. Therefore, they pretty much had to keep 3.X's system expectations if they were going to sell their product. They also I think correctly realized that balance was never the highest priority of people playing 3.5 anyway and that if everything was broken, then nothing basically was, so they basically just went gonzo and threw kitchen sinks of powers at things and left it up to the tables to sort it out on the theory that the players would be happy and the DMs could deal with it - it's not like the point of DMing is winning anyway, and from a DM perspective, characters that can't die aren't all bad. It's works in so far as it goes, but it keeps all the problems of 3.5 including poor balance. I'd like to see a tighter version of the rules far Pathfinder 2.0, but why mess with a formula that is working? [/QUOTE]
