... why? 1e D&D and OD&D still exist (among with a myriad of others, to be honest). What are they waiting for, really?

Again... why?
To introduce new players into the fold. i.e. - Kids especially.
Hence, I'm using MicroLite20 as my spring board - plus this is already Pathfinder-friendly, you can use existing OGL/D20 adventures as is, and the game can easily evolve into more complex forms.
Yea! Another Microlite fan. I find that even with the advance rules and classes it is a marvelously easy game. Someday when I am less frantic I think I will put together a PBP game of Microlite20 on these boards.

Obama and the democrats won due to "Change you can believe in", "I am not George Bush" (VERY popular with the American public) and "I am not a republican".
Independents are now shocked and angered to learn that Obama's "change" is not something they want or believe in, that Obama is just like George Bush (IraqWar/ObamaCare despite the public being against it) and democrats are even more corrupt and unethical than the slime-bag republicans they voted out of congress.
Be that as it may, he said, up front, that he wants universal health care. He made it part of his campaign platform, and he won.
By democratic standards (the process, not the party), he has the right and the mandate to try and enact into laws the policies that he campaigned on.
In fact, in those cases where he has waffled on his campaign promises (closing Gitmo, for example) he's been pilloried in the press for not following through on his promises.
If I were him, I'd be pretty f'n confused right now...

You need to remember that he doesn't really have any power. Congress does. To pass healthcare bills he needs to buy votes from people that suddenly aren't behind him to give him the votes needed. Senator X needs amendment Y added to the bill to provide $20mil in tax breaks to his personal special interest group. Meanwhile Legislator B needs to save face with his public because he hasn't followed through on campaign promises so add in a special bit of love to his state's A program.
US politics suck. Nothing is a straightforward bill anymore. Special interest groups own our laws. Every politician is an abject failure to the public unless they don't do the disgusting stuff, then they are just an ineffectual joke that has no power.

Some of my friends are going to be starting a home-brew evil campaign soon and I am going to make a Lich Monk.
My DM has said it's fine but I have to take a 21 point buy instead of everyone else 25 and I have to start two levels below everyone else.
So I am starting at level 1 and they at 3.
Could anyone give me some suggestions about how I should point buy this? The only rules he put on me for it is that I cannot dump stat con, it must remain at 10.
Also feat suggestions would be great. Thanks!
Sorry, I don't lich on a first date.....who am I kidding? I shirley do!
I personally would go this route
Str-15(7), Dex-14(5), Con-10(2)cause you have to, Int-8(-2), Wis-17(13), Cha-7(-4) for (5+7+2-2+13-4)=21 points.
With racial adjustments its S-15, D-14, C-10, I-10, W-19, Ch-9
Not too shabby, plan on bumping up wisdom 1st than str.
You could also drop Wisdom from a 17 to a 16 and bump up Charisma to 9(11 modified) if you wanted. Fear Aura and Paralyzing Touch are Charisma based for saves so you may want to work that....however if you wanted to use those abilities and have a good charisma I would suggest going with either a sorcerer or a rogue so you don't have the need to have so many stats high.
Hope it helps.

I still think that your % of negating a critical hit are VERY timid. Receiving a confirmed critical hit is a (somewhat) rare occurrence as it is. Depending on the DM style, I'd say it happens, in average, somewhere between once per game to once every third or fourth game.
Even at 4% chance of negating a critical blow, it is an ability that kicks in once every 25 to 100 games. Is it really worth it?
I remember discussing this subject with you before. Since then, I've been playing that helmets (I have only two categories) negate a critical hit either 20% of the time or 50% of the time). After 3 month or so, this has saved about 5 critical hits so far (all players and NPC together). Granted, only one character wears a helmet and they have faced mainly monsters without protective gears, but all that to say that it hasn't been game breaking.
On the other hand, I've removed Armour Fortifications from the game. I always liked the mechanical effect, but I never cared much for the "more enchanted than enchanted armour" concept. Instead, I shifted the ability to helmets (without the protection from sneak attacks and precision damage).
I remember that you didn't like the idea of removing fortification and shifting their advantages to helmets (at a bargain price!). Yet, I think that if a player must endure the penalties of a helmet several time per game (since perception checks are frequent and -3 is a significant penalty), the turnout effect should kick-in every second or third game or so, not every 50th game...
Crazy talk! You are gonna get in trouble for questioning his methods now....
