[QUOTE="Silver Griffin, post: 7736990, member: 6705999"] Considering the success of Starfinder I can see why they might want to latch on to that to increase sales. But calling it a cash grab is doing them a disservice. That not only implies they don't care about existing customers (they do) & that they don't care about the consequences. I truly believe that they want to fix the game engine to make thing work better. The real question for me is how hard is it going to be to convert things from 1st edition to 2nd (& maybe the other way). If it's like going from 3rd edition to current Pathfinder then I say fantastic because that is easy. If it's like 2nd edition to current Pathfinder (but not the other way around) I'm OK with that since core concepts do carry over. It it's like 3rd to 4th then I have a problem (talking only about conversion, NOT an edition war). Just as important to me will be how many 3PP will put out guides for converting their stuff. Details are too scarce to make much of anything right now. I do hope they do a better job of listening to the play testers than they did with mythic though. So far I have only seen 1 thing I don't like. That being that shields don't do anything unless you use a reaction to make they work & then only for 1 attack. I think that having it give +2 to AC in general & then use the reaction to reduce the damage would work much better. [/QUOTE]
