When making suggestions for the development of Pathfinder RPG, can we suggest borrowing OGL material from other 3rd party publishers? I'm not clear on if they could legally be used, as well as if Paizo would want to use such material, but if so, then I think that there's definately lots of ideas out there worth considering. In particular, Monte Cook's Book of Experimental Might has several ideas that would work, even if the overall revision to spellcasting and disciplines wouldn't fit.

I particually like the "taking a breath" concept and the healing discipline (which could easily be a feat) that lets you get healing by touching the cleric and spending a standard action, instead of the cleric being the only one who could take an action to heal others.


Actually, it is the 'disciplines' portion of Monte's BoEM that I particularly care for. That and the 'healing' parts.

Having been a party in the SCO v IBM hoo-haa on IP, I think it would be very helpful to folks if the Paizo clarified the OGL, 3rd party OGL rules, trying to slip in other companies IP as "new" rules, etc. etc.

You need to look out for Paizo, you don't want to give them problems if possible. Jason is doing a bunch of stuff here, last thing he needs is to have to research every rule suggestion for IP.
