[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 9171106, member: 9053"] I am one of the five people who actually like Alignment, so that's a thing. I also think the schools of magic are a good idea as a grouping mechanism for spells and make it much easier for people to understand what a spell does. And I think the name changes they've made are almost universally bad. And then the monster names that I recognize are being changed to new ones seemingly at random. I expect that I'll have to translate the names of monsters for my players (who all come from a D&D background) for a long time, along with having to adjust to them myself. I really like Pathfinder and how it plays as a game. I vastly prefer it to 5E. But I'm having a tough time getting my groups to move to it, and with the changes they are making, it will make it much more difficult to bring in players who are at the lower skill levels of 5E. So I guess I don't really like the changes (but can live with them) don't like the new names, and find that it will be harder to teach to my D&D adjacent friends. None of that means I'm going to stop playing it, but the expense of new rulebooks is something I'm going to avoid initially. [/QUOTE]
