[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7756350, member: 37579"] From [url]http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2vcc6?News-from-Paizo-Twitch-170818-Mark-Seifter[/url] #4 is the big one for me. I dislike being so limited in character options. Such as being unable to build a functional ranged paladin, longbow ranger, or crossbow fighter because all the relevant combat feats are class specific. It just limits characters to what the designers think should be played, while also artificially creating a need for splatbooks that fill out the gaps. This and the entire design of the feedback survey really makes it seem like this playtest is actually, well, a playtest. Unlike the 5e playtest, which was more of a concept test. It seems like they're [I]not [/I] looking to gather feedback on the overall design or making major changes to the system, and are just looking to fine tune subsystems. It looks very much like final game will look an awful lot like the playtest game. Which is disappointing as the playtest book did exactly the opposite of everything I wanted an update of Pathfinder to do... [/QUOTE]
