[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 4131362, member: 957"] I think you are blowing it way out of proportion. I think playing a changeling warlock exactly as is in an otherwise PF game would be no worse than playing a half-elf bard in a current D&D game (and that is before we talk about how very little of PF is presented and how it is intended to change from here). I certainly wouldn't call it incompatible. Balance issues have been around for a while. That said, and as I've said before.... I agree with you. I'd prefer they just stayed with a constant power baseline. I think that would be better. But it is just plain wrong to say it isn't compatible. If they had a really crazy hair going and wanted to say that PF characters were as powerful as D&D characters 3 levels higher, but weren't supposed to get any magic gear at all, it would still be compatible. And if they further said that all adventures should be six levels higher just because PF is supposed to be a lot harder than D&D, it would still be compatible. The balance would be out the window and it would be a bad idea, but everything would still function. It would still be compatible. [/QUOTE]
