[QUOTE="olshanski, post: 5432975, member: 7441"] On the first point: I don't care in the least about the FR setting. I don't know whether your ideas are good or bad in this respect, but I assure you that I automatically ignore any product with "Forgotten Realms" in the title or writeup. On the second point: My main gripe with 3.5, Pathfinder, and 4E is that each of them are tolerable at the bare minimum core book, but that the many supplements bloated the products too much for my taste. It sounds like you are suggesting grabbing a bunch of rules from multiple editions, which doesn't solve rules bloat at all. Finally, the meta "taint" you are talking about with characters changing from one ruleset to the other sounds like it has nothing to do with roleplaying, it is just an application of rules. I don't care about rules and when I am playing I want the rules to be unobtrusive. You are elevating the rules to be an actual part of the character. Yech! [/QUOTE]
