Help a newbie out

[Grumpus]

I tried searching and is there a link to a thread which lists the more common abbreviations used here?

I have seen mainly
RAW and RAI so far and dont really know what the heck, maybe R stands for rules but who knows?

Thanks

RAW = Rules As Written (or refers to the rules as "Read as Written")

RAI = Rules As Intended

RAW is rules as written, RAI is rules as intended.

MAD == multiple attribute dependent (needs many stats at decent scores)
SAD == Single attribute dependent (one ability drives the class i.e. wizards and int)

Those are the ones off the top of my head that are board specific and not just internet slang mumbo jumbo. Hope that helps :)

I do not think a list was ever made here.

RAW Rules as written.
RAI Rules as Intended.

Dear Jester,
This NEWBIE has problem figuring out what spells my 4th level Paladin can take/choose. This is the third party that we've begun since we started playing pathfinder and we fudged up the rules a couple of times with our characters. I just want to know what I am doing. I'd appreciate any help.
