[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 8231157, member: 2205"] I don't disagree at all. Which is part of the reason that I personally believe that Paizo would have been better served by sticking with the SRDs and adding bolt-on options for the SRDs rather than having their own system. It looks like—right now, anyway—that 5e is the Toyota model, so to speak. Maybe I'm wrong and they're not planning on longevity and 6e pre-production planning is in full swing at WotC, but it appears for now that if "Pathfinder 1e" had been bolt-on options to what was essentially little more than a d20 SRD "retroclone" rather than a somewhat significantly different iteration of it, and if they'd migrated to a 5e SRD when it was clear that 5e was going to dominate the market in a way that 4e never did. That would have sidestepped all of the problems that you correctly highlight with there being their own system, with its own versions. Water under the bridge at this point, but that's what I would have liked to have seen them do in an ideal world. Ideal for me, at least. :) [/QUOTE]
