[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 7934339, member: 87792"] And the word evolution predates Mendel by a couple of hundred years. Genetics doesn't have a lock on the word. What are those similarities [I]that are not present in Pathfinder 1e and D&D 3.5?[/I] Indeed. But it has absolutely nothing to do with an absurd conspiracy theory about it being an attempt to remake 4e. Instead "Whatever reason" is Pathfinder 2e is an immediate successor game to Pathfinder 1e. And Pathfinder 1e is a near-clone of D&D 3.5 - the game 4e is a successor to. That chain of logic makes literally no sense. [I]Where are these similarities between 4e and Pathfinder 2 that were not present in 3.5?[/I] The choice was so far as I can tell to ignore 4e [I]and [/I]5e and create something similar to Pathfinder 1 that is based on what the designers of Pathfinder wanted to do with their own system - and how this is things in many cases that come from Pathfinder. I've pointed out how literally none of the distinguishing features of 4e that I can think of that made it 4e are anything I've remotely seen in Pathfinder 2e. Meanwhile there is quite a lot of 4e in 5e even if it's horribly watered down in most cases (with the subclasses being one thing bulked up). This is in no ways even an attempt to make something like 4e. [/QUOTE]
