[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6338545, member: 22424"] Prior to 4e, and the "everything is core" mantra, neither was anything else. And it's worth noting that the 4e magazines were also the point at which the magazine material started undergoing the 'full' editorial process, giving it the same level of quality control as found in the supplements. (Anything prior to that, be it 3e, 2nd, 1st, or before, and be it Paizo, WotC, or TSR, was of... questionable quality, in terms of balance.) But there's no meaningful distinction between the WotC-produced #298 and the Paizo-produced #299 - and obviously so, since the two were produced by exactly the same team, taking materials from the same submission pile, and so on and so forth. Indeed, #299 was almost certainly all-but-done before the changeover took place - had WotC kept them in-house then that issue would have been the same in every respect except the editorial. [/QUOTE]
