Pathfinder Remastered Reactions 

During paizocon they mentioned that barbarian and sorcerer were not in pkayer core 1 specifically because both have a dragon related subclass and they needed the extra time to really redesign the dragons and how those classes would interact with those new dragons

HELL YEA LETS GOOOOO

1:57 I know I'm behind, and I've already said it elsewhere, but I'm pretty sure the OGL is still fine(for now). Nothing happened with it, people just aren't comfortable with using it now after Hasbro/WotC TRIED to blow it up last year, nor should they be! I just wish more people would turn away from them for what they did, and actually pay attention to some of the other stuff they did while trying to apologize for tryig to get away with stealing other peoples' hard work instead of taking their massive amounts of money and making their own awesome content. I miss the old days of D&D when the settings and books actually had effort put into them!

Mind movie is an awesome way to describe how to look at the game either from a player or DM vantage. That is totally how I see things.

My personal opinion it's more in the range of a 2.15 to 2.25 update.

On the Death and Dying stuff, I don't agree that simply reducing the Dying value is anywhere near the same. Nor is adding your Wounded value when Dying increases "complex". What I liked about the clarification, and I still feel it was a mixture of office politics and reacting to reddit having a meltdown that got it changed, is it discouraged yo-yo healing which is something many D&D 5e players rely on. Why bother being tactical, trying to keep your Wounded allies back from the frontline until fully healed etc when you can just let them drop again and again?

I'm still not happy with the removal of alignment, at least in the narrative/fiction. The removal of the impact in terms of mechanics I think is fine, mostly. But Edicts/Anathema is clumsy, and will be used as little as the Ideals/Bonds/Flaws from D&D 5e. I've my doubts on if they'll write out Edicts/Anathema for every single monster in Monster Core 1 and for all monsters/npcs in APs going forward too. If they do, good. It'll mean motivations aren't buried within rambling paragraphs. Though I just look at all the product they've released already, and find myself annoyed as a digital player since now all the alignments are removed and there's nothing to replace them with. As a GM alignment gives you a quick reference on how a monster or npc should be played. Lawful Evil, but a fey? Organized, keeps its word, but likely cruel. As a Player, alignment was there to describe your CURRENT self and it was something that would be shifted by the GM as a game progressed. Too many people didn't understand that, I think. What am I as the GM to do if the player doesn't even follow their own Edicts/Anathema? On the more mechanical side of things. What they did with Wizard schools was a mistake. Surely it should have only been to distance themselves from the OGL... even if I think that too is overblown. Then why did they not simply change the names? Change the -traits-? This wouldn't work with all the names they currently chose, but it is the way they should have gone. Instead we have something more restrictive, and Wizard did not need to be humbled by any kind of nerfs. This leads into the cantrip change, and how with the errata they also changed everything not reprinted. I do not like it, my players did not like it. Going from a guaranteed amount of damage (due to adding your modifier) to relying entirely on RNG is not good when spellcasters in general didn't need nerfs.

8:22 There is LITERALLY ZERO narrative difference between alignments and Edicts & Anathemas! I think people are going to like E&As less because there is little room for wiggle, one slight misstep and BOOM! Cleric loses their shit, can't do anything but be a BAD fighter! Good job whiners and complainers that could have just learned how to use alignments properly!!!

OK, I heard the thing that always makes me sigh..."The game assumes You're at full health... etc...", The game allows for it. This idea that if you don't have a focus point healer "you're doing it wrong" is false. That's video game mentality. This mindset tells especially new players that there are only so many viable character options. I tell new players/ groups that certain things will make the game easier, but none of them are required.

Oh it's just a 2.1 update... It just got rid of Alignment, got rid of Ability Scores, had totally reworked Classes, some Ancestries edited and others removed and new ones added, reworked spells, new book organization, Reworked Feats, ... Yeah, it's totally compatible with 2.0. Not. This is a totally new edition. But in order for you guys to grasp this go back in time to when RPGs started and look at the history of how RPGs got new editions and not just how WotC did editions, which is how you and The Rules Lawyer look at it. He doesn't know anything.
