[QUOTE="sidonunspa, post: 6179997, member: 4360"] as someone that also played pathfinder.... I'm going to be switching to 5e. what won me over is the way they are doing minimalist skills and Bounded Accuracy maybe it's an effect of playing the PFS adventures, but the game has jumped the shark.. when you play a game where you can have have max ranks in a skill (Perception) with a good attribute, skill focus, and eyes of the eagle and still need a 19-20 to spot the ambush... or bump into encounters, regularly, which shut down entire classes.. something has gone honorably wrong. It's nice to play a game where the next magic item you find can be a "cool one" instead of "damn forget that cloak I need the +3 to all my saves to live though combats" and get your heads out of the clouds, Piazo is a company, which has a profit margin & employees which are paid well... they see sales drop.. expect a new addition. Hell I would NOT be surprised if there was one in the works. with the splat books they have created so many rules exceptions that they will, at some point, NEED to clean it all up. and lets be honest, get the first printing of the PF core book and compare it to the newest printing (6th?) it almost has as many tweaks as 3.0 to 3.5 [/QUOTE]
