The difference between the Paizo update on stealth and WotC’s updates is that the stealth errata/revision is being worked into the next printing of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook. So the printed book will have the revision.
Oh, and Paizo has a digital character builder, they just licensed it to Hero Labs.
The more you know… (do doo do dooooo)
Good points.
You are correct that Pathfinder has a char builder in the form of HeroLabs. I actually have that program and have used it. There is a HUUUUGE difference between it and the WotC character builder though – with the Pathfinder/HeroLab builder you can customize and change things and pick and choose the sources allowable in your game, as well as add new things specific to your campaign. Add that to the fact that the HeroLab builder is not behind a subscription paywall and you have enough differences to make them barely comparable. The HeroLab pathfinder character builder doesn’t impact the Pathfinder game the way the WotC one impacts 4e D&D.
Cheers!
Fantastic episode! Keep up the great work.
I also wanted to propose a Topic. Your train wreck coverage of Sexism in D&D Art a while back is still one of my favorite moments in D&D Podcast History and I thought it may be interesting for you to look at ‘racism in game design’ using the recent Dungeon article on Xiousing
Thanks!
I’ll talk to the other hosts about the racism topic – I’m not sure they/we would hold up the sexism episode as a shining example of great podcasting though! :)
I’m not going to list that as one of my proudest moments, not by a long shot.
