I am starting to crave it myself especially with all the crazy Pathfinder rules bloat (80 pages of legal WOTC Feats in 12 point type!) <br /><br />However in the hands of idiot kids like at least some of us (mea culpa) were, less rules is not so hot and its easy to understand why many of us wanted more rigor.5stonegameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694550968360550229noreply@blogger.com
