[QUOTE="Cheezmo Miner, post: 5729521, member: 6683712"] This. I have to say that some of the language being used here to describe us Pathfinder people is a little disconcerting. We're "hardliners" who might "fly into a rage" if the creative staff adds weird stuff to NPCs. I truly appreciate the talent and creativity at work in this endeavor, obviously, or I wouldn't have invested the time and effort (and a few bucks so far) I have in signing on for the AP and getting a group of players together for it. So please try to understand we're not telling you: "don't be creative" or "don't be interesting." And I also appreciate you taking the time to convert your work to Pathfinder. Thank you. It seems that you guys prefer 4E, so you could have easily left us Pathfinder grognards out in the cold. That said, all I'm saying is that [I]my [/I]preference is that a conversion to Pathfinder to be a conversion [B]to Pathfinder[/B]. Whether or not anybody thinks the unique NPC abilities are fair, or game-breaking, or really really neat is irrelevant, because the abilities don't exist as part of the Pathfinder ruleset, or are outside its established perimeters. Wouldn't a simple, "please everyone" solution be to include the abilities as an optional replacements for the standard abilities? Then you can show off these neat things you invented to spice up encounters while allowing GMs the option to use standard versions of the NPCs out of the box. [/QUOTE]
