[QUOTE="Azgulor, post: 7749760, member: 14291"] Over on the Paizo forums, I stated that the Legendary tier stuff would receive an automatic kiss from the ban-hammer from me due to many of the reasons cited here: turns the game into a joke, too over the top, etc. I also stated that if folks were happy with Legendary abilities, good for them. I subsequently received posts illustrating any mechanical weak point in PF1 that allowed an absurd outcome as proof that "it already exists". The fact that this is a new edition and a chance to change things was apparently lost on these pro-legendary fans. I was accused of telling people they were playing incorrectly despite multiple citations along the lines of 'if legendary works for you, that's cool but it doesn't work for me'. I was accused of "taking things away from people" because I said that [i]I wouldn't use it[/i]. I was specifically asked to stop giving my opinions to the Paizo dev team so that those who wanted legendary capabilities as teased could keep them... Yeah, the over-the-top-power-fantasy crowd over there is something else. And very vocal. It was the same way with PF1 and epic-level content. Mythic rules were not a huge seller or fan favorite by all accounts. Legendary seems to bake mythic into core to serve the anime/exalted/demigod crowd while skipping the step that provides an in-game explanation as to how they can do it. "Hey, I'm 15th level and took the right feat! Now, I'm just that good!" I'm a PF1 diehard but I don't love everything about the system. I didn't think that I wanted a 2nd edition. All of the PF2 blogs to date managed to move me from disinterest to cautious optimism to anticipation. Then this blog dropped and that took a huge hit. If it's easily removed (as hinted at), PF2 is salvageable. If not, PF2 gets a hard pass. As a fan of Pathfinder and Paizo, that is very disappointing to me. [/QUOTE]
