[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3904098, member: 710"] The cosmology changes and the changes to devils, demons and so far don't worry me much, though that might be only because I rarely used each of them. If I think of the Adventure Paths I played so far, not of these changes would have a big impact. The Blood War was never in the foreground, and the planar setup was rarely delved on much. I think I used Gnomes approximately once in my campaigns (with a Gnome Psion serial killer that the characters had to catch in a Dragonstar-based campaign), and I never played one. So I guess removing them and adding two other races I might use just as less, but potentially more, doesn't worry me much, either. I never played in a game where the changes from the 4th edition fluff would change things much. But I definitely see more potential to use some of the new fluff than I did with the old. This is all just anecdotical, but at least the adventure path look like a "common" experience among gamers. If you used more of it in-game, and based entire adventures on it, things would probably feel different. But even then, the only point at where you get a real conflict with the new fluff is in published adventures that might no longer match your current setting.
