[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 4750222, member: 7635"] Ah, terminology problem. Pathfinder IS third-party to the original developer (WotC). Taking 3.5, fixing a few bugs, streamlining things and giving it a new title doesn't make it a first-party title anymore than buying a house, fixing the roof, painting the walls and adding a garage makes you the original architect. But, as a 3PP (compatible with 3.5 AND its own special-brew 3.5) its fantastic! And that means it is compatible (with conversion) with WotCs 1PP D&D stuff, all the back-catalog of various d20 supplements (from Goodman's DCCs to the Book of Arcane Might) but its still 3.5 based and unless there is some real innovative bug-fixing, its still going to have a lot of the things I DISLIKE about 3.5 along with the things I like (such as stacking rules, magic-as-silver-bullet, and high-level sluggishness in play). I remain open-minded though. Moreso than I did a few months back... [/QUOTE]
