[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7932281, member: 6801228"] Considering some of your posts being clearly biased towards not understanding how they could possibly make such a terrible decision? Yeah, I'm not going to take your word for it. In fact, considering Charlaquin's post about how it all works, I can see where you might think there is a lot of 4e involved, and I can also see exactly were they seemed to be coming from with those design decisions that has nothing to do with copying 4e and heading for destruction. For example, you have "a beef" with their decision. That doesn't sound like someone trying to figure out a design philosophy, it sounds like someone angry and wanting to rant. Which is fine, but if you aren't getting the response you expect out of this thread, that could be part of it. For example, while the feats do seem relatively minor, that ideal of getting a lot of minor benefits that fold into a larger direction to give your character an set of abilities that reflect what you want, that is what I've heard praised in PF for years. That you can take any set of attributes and build it, make a character who can do any number of things and be completely different from someone of the same class. From that perspective, it is easy to see where they are going with these feats. [/QUOTE]
