Welcome to life as a poster!I think maybe you have a different definition of backwards compatible to that being used by Paizo. It doesn't mean "don't change anything unless you absolutely have to", rather it means "don't change things that invalidate previous products unless you absolutely have to".By this definition, Cleave is backwards compatible. You can run the Sunless Citadel using the Pathfinder RPG, and those NPCs that had Cleave will still have it. It will just follow the new rules instead of the old ones.On the other hand, a change that I would like to see - giving more skill points to fighters and sorcerers - has been ruled out on the grounds that this would not be backwards compatible. Old stat blocks would be incorrect; you'd have to give NPCs more skill points.</blockquote>
