[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7369541, member: 4348"] LOL. Unified progression. Atunement...I mean...Resonance. Spellcasting similarities. Death saves. It just keeps adding and adding up. (Granted, XP is different, I'll laugh if they have pre-requisites for multiclassing similar to 5e though). Too many coincidences. When it gets to that point, as they say in Hollywood...there is no parallel development. Everyone copies everyone else's ideas. There's a reason movies with very similar plots come out almost around the same time (volcano movies, asteroid hits the earth movies, etc...etc...etc). When things start looking like someone took ideas from someone else...normally...that means they did. Hey...that's a good thing for D&D. when someone takes your idea and thinks they have their own houserules to try to make it better...that's one way of praise. Copycatting is a very extreme way of praise, but it still is there. When others try to copycat your ideas and then put their own spin on the rules...it shows you've really made it in some instances. D&D from the 70s and 80s had it by a dozen (rolemaster for starters and that entire line of trying to improve D&D), Palladium/Rifts...etc...etc...etc. I'd say Paizo is doing it now. It's funny how Paizo is trying to turn contortions around itself to claim they haven't copied 5e when it's pretty blatant they took the chasis and are putting their own shell over it. Should be apparent to anyone who's ever played 5e...not that it should bother us. It should be an honor someone thinks the system is that wonderful that they need to take the framework and put their own wheels on it. Funny to see people trying to deny it as the evidence just keep seemingly mounts up in that regards. More and more stuff just seems to be "parallel" to 5e...probably because it's more than paralleled...it's ripped right off of it and then modified to be slightly different (well, sometimes...sometimes it's just about exactly the same). Unless, of course, they are taking it from 4e and modifying it...but I think the Pathfinder fans may find that even more horrifying to their collective repulsions. [/QUOTE]
