[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 4888276, member: 7635"] Ok, so the PCs are going to get some new toys to make their lives easier and better... What's in it for me, the guy behind the DM screen? I realize monster questions will be handled by the Beastiary, but there is plenty of DMing hassles I would like to see addressed. 1.) It seems the 15-min workday is already addressed via PCs have more tools to keep going. Is there other incentives to keep PCs from "Going Nova and Going Home"? 2.) What about DM prep work? Is NPC creation streamlined any (seems like it might be more work now with all the new PC class abilities)? How about XP/session, treasure generation, etc? 3.) How pervasive is the Glorian setting in the book? Is it enough to (theoretically) run a game there using only the PF book, or is it mostly used a source of namedropping (like Greyhawk was in 3.5) and buy-our-setting-book thankyouverymuch? 4.) Do they do anything to Prestige Classes (esp. the poorer ones in the DMG? like Dragon Disciple and Shadowdancer?) 5.) Is there better cross referencing, or are we back to "This causes the sickened condition, go look up what that does in your DMG!" 6.) Did the fix the "big six", and item creation in general? Thank you for all of the PC info, btw. Its giving me a better feel for what my players might expect if I do switch... [/QUOTE]
