And Tien Sha will be quite cool. I imagine early 2012 will have a Oriental Adventures type book

My guess is if we see a Tian Xia book in 2011, we will also see te Jade Regent adventure path and the Oriental Adventures type book as a core book as well all in 2011.

Paizo has said there will be a lot more announced at Gencon, which if it's the same as last year they'll announce everything up through Gencon next year.

In 3.5 this is called Pounce and it turned out to be one of the most powerful things combat oriented characters could do. It was huge power creep for characters that could get it.

The problem wasn't pounce itself, though. The problem was that pounce could be combined with stuff like Shock Trooper, Combat Brute, Leap Attack and so on.

Though if one of the goals was to boost the power difference between a wizard and a melee fighter then this might not be a bad thing, boosting the melee class like this. It just tackles the issue by boosting the melee type instead of nerfing the wizard.

I'm just pointing out that this one item that someone thought was a great idea is power creep with so many people in therthread scared that we will be getting power creep.

Fighters making full attack after move won't be power creep if - as far as I understand - it will be a tradeoff in exchange for some other abilities (that's how the APG archetypes are supposed to work). So, maybe no bonus feats or weapon/armor training. We will hopefully see it soon !

Yes this is my understanding as well. However, the fear of power creep can also be a fear of option creep as well; I'd rather not need to go to build guides to find the way to create optimal synergy between classes. But if you have hundred's of feats that starts to become an issue. I loved, before, how Pathfinder was a single (admittedly large) rulebook that had a lot of adventure material for it.

So I am concerned, but willing to wait and see.

I love having the options that feats provide, but it can become quickly overwhelming if you have 300+ feats to choose from and only 10 a character can take (20 for fighters).

And it's certainly a concern if someone finds that combo (or combos) that breaks the game... (Especially if combined with spells and/or magic items.)

Option creep might have been the better phrase for me to use as well. The single rulebook was a nice thing, though as Steel_Wind mentioned many of the supplements have additional options as well. Maybe the new book will just bring all of that together in one place with a few new things on top.
