[QUOTE="Sepulchrave II, post: 4370176, member: 4303"] Hi Wulf I'd kind of put the idea of Pathfinder on hold until it could demonstrate some serious streamlining, but this is precisely the kind of innovation that I think will sell it. More! Tangentally, I have a question wrt Chi/Rho and the quadratic CR/EL formulas that you've championed in the past; I don't want to derail the thread too far in that direction, but do you intend to use that system in [I]Trailblazer[/I]? I've got mixed feelings about it, as I've used both the quadratic and standard/exponential methods for determining encounter strength, and each [I]can[/I] yield reasonable results. For very large combats, it seems a quadratic system is often superior, as the standard method can seriously undervalue the economy of actions possessed by multiple opponents - assuming they're not 1HD orcs and the party has a blaster. But IME fluke rolls tend to throw out just about any system in pretty much every encounter.:erm: [/QUOTE]
