[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 4851497, member: 65637"] Congrats! Your fighter and possibly your rogue are now dead. Thanks to your ability to [B]see into the future[/B], no other parties were killed, as you miraculously already had Magic Weapon and Lesser Restoration prepared. You are now two party members down due to you blindly rushing in. [I]Great.[/I] I'm sorry, but you've given no distinction between this and the previous Allip, except in this case, the party is all made of cowards. Seriously, that's the only change here - [B]party response[/B], the most variable thing in the world! That wasn't my question, you know! I asked how the [I]fight[/I] would differ, as not only would many a party blindly charge into the old Allip, but some would find some bizarre technique, such as using a SKELERAAAAAAAM to somehow destroy it before it can be a threat, and another party would neither retreat nor fight it, but instead spend three sessions arguing about if the mage should learn Magic Weapon or if the fighter should buy him a scroll of it. Sorry, I don't see any difference between this and the previous one. Let's look at it: the previous old allip, the party goes "Oh man, there's no way we can beat that. Let's retreat." However, if we change the Allip and use a CR 8 monster, we have the radically different technique of "Oh man, there's no way we can beat that. Let's retreat." As for the druid, eh, there's just not a lot off info to go on, quite frankly. The wildshape changes information was kinda vague, so I'll need to wait until I see them in the book itself to get a good grasp on them. Plus, I was never really into druids, which I think is the big issue - people looked at Pathfinder specifically regarding the weaker classes with a "Well, how do you fix this?" look. Druid...didn't really need to be fixed, unless you mean in the animal sort of way (Which would be fitting 'cause it's a druid! HAH HAH! GET IT? IT WILDSHAPES INTO AN ANIMAL? AND WILDSHAPE NEEDS TO BE "FIXED?" GET IT?) Personally, I'm still kinda hung up over the bard, to be honest :p [/QUOTE]
