[QUOTE="xoth.publishing, post: 7923532, member: 6986003"] I went back and re-read the full thread. You and others have provided feedback; I've responded with my own thoughts, which range from "you're right, I will rephrase/adjust/remove that" to "I think it's fine as it is". It would be redundant for me to repeat the discussion and progress here; the thread provides an excellent log as-is. And what are those "several instances"? I'm not aware of anything that hasn't already been rephrased or removed if it erroneously referenced a Pathfinderism. Not really sure what "subsystems" you are talking about here? I've suggested (as an optional rule) a small tweak to the Instant Death rule, and Instant Death is part of core 5E. As mentioned above, I've responded to all feedback with my own thoughts, which range from "you're right, I will rephrase/adjust/remove that" to "I think it's fine as it is". I appreciate all feedback, that's why I put the book out there for review, and you've provided a number of good and useful points. Some of it has led to changes, some of it has not. As the author of said book it is ultimately up to me to have the final say. Of course people have different tastes and not everyone is going to like everything. Fortunately, it you like, say, 80% of the work it is easy to apply your own house rules on top of it. I'm sure most people do that with the core rulebooks, too. My bad. The last "nipplegate" was six months ago, so I had forgotten the strange fact that many people in the New World are more easily offended by nipples than by blood, gore and violence. Again, after re-reading this full thread today, I feel that I've responded to all feedback so far, incorporating changes if they make sense to me (even if in some cases it's only slightly rephrasing a sentence). I'm certainly not trying to hang onto Pathfinder, please point out any specific PF-isms that are still left, if any. Also, work on the Player's Guide has been on the back-burner because I've been DMing 5E and working on the "Trials of Ngura" adventure, which is the first Xoth Publishing module written for 5E. So it's been a learning process on many fronts, but I still think that 5E is an excellent chassis for swords & sorcery (as lightly re-skinned D&D, not the hardcore S&S that would require a different rule system).
