Has anyone looked at PathFinder's Alpha 1 or Alpha 2 release ?

Has anyone implemented any rules from it into their home game ?

For starters: I have already implemented the 10 feat progression chart.
(1st, 3rd, 5th, etc).

This is already going over well in my game.

Apr 26, 2008 14:30:34 I've looked over the version I have briefly, not sure which alpha release it is.
The thing that interests me most are the grapple rules.

I'm doing a rework based on 3.5 rules myself, I mean redoing ALL classes and races, and so far its had a few things I've drawn from already.

Its an interesting resource but I don't like how it didn't show change to Sorcerers or Druids and how it made all the base classes stronger.

Apr 28, 2008 8:59:43 yeah, they definitely made all of the classes stronger.

Personally, I would have wished that they only made the sorcerer stronger as that class is arguably the weakest of the bunch. In my game, I already give the sorcerer access to cheaper bloodlines out of Unearthed Arcana (i.e. instead of 1,2,3 levels for minor,intermed,major, it is now 0,1,2). This applies only to sorcerers.

Apr 28, 2008 17:12:30 Trying it out. Due to the races being boosted, all MM races now get a free 1 point LA if anyone wants one - I'll probably end up giving Warforged and Shifters bonus feats from their racials for free.

They went back to skill ranks, which helps in incorporating Skill Tricks into the game - and really, they aren't complicated if you just keep everything maxed, anyway.

But still, no actual play yet, just chara creation.

Just some quirks and house rules. What really irked me was that this "alpha" version means they're counting on random downloaders to playtest it and return their opinions, rather than setting up a more careful method. All in all it looks like a bunch of random opinions that won't actually change things much.
