[QUOTE="Hannerdyn, post: 6397662, member: 6777934"] I think this will be a large factor in the decision for many to switch back to D&D from Pathfinder. I think Paizo knows this and I think they are going to work on a new edition. As someone who really likes what WOTC has in 5E, I hope for the sake of the game that Paizo continues to be serious competition for the 'heart and soul' of D&D. Competition can only be good for the game, and I think it could be argued that Paizo's competition with WOTC over the last several years has given us an excellent new direction for D&D in 5E. Paizo can leverage it's strengths; the d20 system licencing, the huge number of quality models and books for the PF system, the flexibility of the system, the 'one book is all you need to play' ideal. If they could come up with a way to convert the system to something that requires less bookkeeping but still allows them to leverage older books, they would be golden. It may be what they are planning in Pathfinder unchained, but I think they would be smart to make that their capstone book and start working on a new edition. They would be less likely to compete if they just came out with a new, incompatible version of D&D. I don't think that plays to their strengths well enough. [/QUOTE]
