Since so much debate has arisen over what a jerk is and how badly you have to be a jerk to get biffed, I suggest that we settle this First Edition style: with a chart. Instead of XP you can get JP. Get enough JP and you "level up" from "noob" to "doofus". Score enough JP and you can achieve the exalted heights of "Ultimate A-hole". I need some of you other grognards to help me with other level titles.
How much can be changed in Pathfinder before backwards compatibility is abandoned? For how many of you would no or little backwards compatibility be a dealbreaker in terms of adopting the PFRPG? How attractive will PFRPG be to other game developers with a lot of their work invested in 3.5 (as in those who aren't making the jump to 4E)? How much of Pathfinder do you want to stay "3.5"? Just some thoughts I've been thinking about a lot.
I have a wizard player who really squawked when I instituted that rule. Before the rule nothing could get an attack of opportunity because his Concentration was so high. Now, he no longer "flies solo" and depends more on his allies (especially the knight with here ability to control the battlefield around her). |
