Message: <blockquote data-quote="jeffh" data-source="post: 4115479" data-attributes="member: 2642">I'm not voting one way or another. There are two reasons for this.First, it's way too early to answer reliably, especially on the Pathfinder side. We've got an alpha playtest document (and almost no time so far to digest it) that isn't even complete on the one side and a motley assortment of tidbits which, though close to final, still don't have enough context to really evaluate outside the special case of first-level play on the other. If you're making final decisions based on that, well, go ahead, but I don't think that's particularly wise.Second and more importantly, though, you present the options of Pathfinder and 4E as though they were mutually exclusive, when my best guess at this point would be that I'll give both a serious look. So not only can I not be entirely sure of my choice, but you don't even offer the choice I'm most leaning toward.I realize there's nothing scientific about any ENWorld poll in the first place, but there can be better and worse ones even so, and it's been a while since I mentioned my extreme impatience with really poorly thought out ones. It's really not that hard to offer options that <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Are all answering the same question! (Corollary: Make sure the poll is asking one question in the first place, not two or more)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cover all the possible (or reasonable) answers, without consigning any serious position to the "other" box</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Are mutually exclusive (unless you give the option of making more than one choice)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Draw distinctions that actually mean something</li> </ul>Why can so few people seem to get all of these things right? (EDIT: This isn't one of the worst I've seen by any means, this last bit is more of a general rant.)</blockquote>
