Well, no OGL vs GSL argument is complete without mentioning this for the billionth time.

What does that have to do with the GSL you say? It has to do with the attitude of the company that crafted it and what kind of shenanigans they are capable of...

I'm not saying that the GSL is unreasonable, especially in the context of copyright issues in the pre WoTC days... But leaving the OGL for the GSL is like getting married to that hot chick that already used to give up the goods everyday. It's all cool at first cause man, YOU BAGGED HER YEAH, but then she's all "you can never look at porn again" and one day, it's "Oh, by the way, no more blowjobs, ever."

Is this another one of those retarded, "look at how evil WotC is; you should play PF instead" arguments?

Anything that isn't just your standard boring encounter is going to gently caress unprepared casters.

Which, except in the most beginner of groups at low levels, simply don't exist.

Having played 3/3.5 since its inception, I just don't get the love for anything that can cast a spell. I've never even seen anyone play a wizard the way everyone says they can be played. I've been in countless games, including one epic level game, and never played with a wizard that just flew around the battle field 1 foot within range of his longest range spell casting it repeatedly while invisible. While it could have happened, it never really did.

This is just one of the many ways a spell-caster can upstage the rest of the party. They're even better at it outside of fighting.

That sounds like a decent yet pretty uninspired adventure.

Okay. That makes it sound worthy of the win.

The more I hear, the more I am convinced Golarian was Paizo's way of having their own "Realms".

One quick and dirty thing you can do with skills is to just say that certain classes get certain skills for free. You can explain it as there are certain things everyone in a particular class learns as part of becoming that class, and your skillpoints represent the stuff you picked up on your own. The only problem with this is that it's p easy to figure out what wizards and fighters get for free and what they have to spend their own points on, but when it comes to a class that is defined by its big list of skills and big pile of skill points, like the rogue, it's a much tougher decision.
