So what forum would be most appropriate to post comments or questions on subjects like:
How will the final rules deal with the fact that some characters consume a much greater portion of encounter time than others because they are controlling many things, such as summoned creatures, animal companions, dominated monsters, familiars, cohorts, etc?
4E addresses this, I believe poorly, by strictly limiting everyone to one action (basically) even if you have an animal or monster etc. I *strongly* dislike the 4E method, though I agree that something should be done. In many combats a spellcaster often consumes a much larger portion of time than other players if the character summons a lot of monsters or already has animal companions or familiars or cohorts etc. Will Pathfinder take some steps to mitigate this or Jason do you not feel this is really an issue?
Other questions...
Sight Distances - I'd like to see some more in-depth sight distance rules that take reality into consideration, at least a little. For example, it should be easier to see an elephant from a long distance away than it is a mouse. It should be harder to see a sparrow flying overhead than it is to see a 747. You should be able to see a light source from a long distance away. For example, if you are in a 1000' long hallway, and you are in utter darkness, how far away can you see the light from a torch down the 1000' tunnel? From 1000' away or not until you are 200' away? Perhaps this is nitpicking but this sort of thing comes up often in games I am in.
I have many other concerns but I am sure they are beyond the scope of Pathfinder to resolve now, perhaps in Pathfinder 2.0 :)
