This is called "development" in the game industry and it happens all the time. I'll tell you right now that if Green Ronin didn't do development work on its manuscripts, we would not have the reputation for quality that we now enjoy. Developers are the unsung heroes of the game industry.It gets a bit confusing because the line between editors and developers can be hazy. Some companies have seperate editors and developers (that's how we do it most of the time) while others have one person do both jobs (which seems to be the Paizo model). When you see an editing credit in many RPG books, what it really means is editing and development. Like anything else in game design, development can be second guessed, but Matt was just doing his job here. The idea that his course of action was wrong, or worse immoral, is ludicrous.You may disagree with his specific choices, but they were his choices to make.</blockquote>
