[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5093606, member: 957"] There is a difference between PF being innovative and Paizo being innovative. I think the AP approach, subscription based product lines and heavy focus on print+pdf formats are rather innovative. Not at all to claim that none of these exist elsewhere or even before Paizo, but that Paizo has established a position of industry leadership in these areas. PF itself is, of course, highly derivative. It was never intended to be wildly innovative. To the contrary, its purpose is to keep the game system (and OGL) that Paizo wanted to support running. But even with that, there is specific examples of innovation. IMO, sorcerer bloodlines are an outstanding innovation that greatly improves the expression of various kinds of intrinsic spellcasting characters, which were lumped into a more narrow range under 3X. CMB is a good innovation. PF is highly derivative, but specific examples of innovation exist within it, and Paizo's innovation is far greater than PF innovation. [/QUOTE]
