[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7595187, member: 12731"] I fear my point flew right over your head, so let me have one more go at explaining. This isn't about me. This is me being convinced that after playing 5E most people will not accept playing a linear fighter together with quadratic casters anymore. If Paizo wants to tap into the huge numbers of gamers created by 5E they better understand what makes that game truly different from previous efforts. And it's not about simplicity. I easily believe there's lots of 5E gamers ready to bite into something more substantial. However, I don't think many of them will accept LFQW and cluttery NPC building. I honestly think that's not just me, but a fundamental aspect. Once you've experienced a party where the barbarian feels nearly as useful as the wizard, AD&D and 3rd edition and Pathfinder will seem awfully antiquated. I believe it is a fatal mistake by Paizo to publish a new game that does not feature certain upgrades to the DnD experience brought by 5E. [/QUOTE]
