[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 6047384, member: 6701124"] So, I've played and run 1e, 2e, 3/3.5, and 4e over the decades, and am now running Pathfinder. Apparently my play groups over that time have ruined me by not trying to exploit the cracks in the rules and not making their characters by optimizing out every last benefit. Needless to say this leaves me unprepared for dealing with the rest of the gaming universe. So, two questions: 1) What have you personally found to be most broken in Pathfinder? 2) What have you personally found requires the most system knowledge to take advantage of in Pathfinder? On a side note, I'm going through [URL]http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-pathfinder/319833-what-your-pathfinder-houserules.html#post5853912[/URL] to see the variety of house rules people are using, but a lot of those aren't for addressing the broken. Any other threads you can lead me to would be appreciated as well. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
