Bear World is not a game. It's really that simple.
And you having fun pretending to play a game has nothing to do with the fact that you totally can get fucked by quantum bears if you 10-succeed on your perception roll.

Getting rid of skill points was one of 4E's very few good ideas. Then the length of skill lists doesn't matter as long as each character has the relevant ones on his class list. You can break down disable device even further if you're bored, the rogue just needs to have that stuff on his class list....

Skills not scaling and losing relevance or only being relevant at/after a certain level, is the same shitty design that item creation and prestige classes suffer from: lose power now for greater power later (aka an insurance deal) or gain power now for less power later (aka running a credit card). T...

The craft, knowldege, profession and perform (x) skills (under 3.x rule premises) can die in a fire. For identifying monsters simply use 10+CR and let the pcs make an intelligence or wisdom check with half their level as a bonus. Doesn't work worse than stupid knowledge mechanically, but at least ac...

3rd edition stumbles a bit by having both Lockpicking and Disable Device, but in most areas the skill list is functional enough. knowledge(x)? perform(x)? craft(x)? profession(x)? That makes in-game knowledge dysfunctional, fucks bards, and craft and profession are pure flavor abilities which shoul...

There is another fundamental issue with the skill system, namely the interaction of levels and hd. The hd-inflation of certain monster types and, of course, level-adjustment (in the case of pcs) breaks any opposed skill checks. I'm pretty sure that Cook and Williams simply thought you either play lo...

I've never understood this urge to nerf things. It's like these people don't want you to have fun with something the don't like. From a design standpoint I'd argue it's almost always better to improve something else instead of hitting stuff with the nerf bat. And I'm not talking about broken mechani...

DR serves mostly for world building. At the end of the day, it specifies that some creatures are vulnerable to mid level adventuring parties , so creating societies that need PC-type heroes to survive. Compare and contrast to 5e, where town militias seem to actually do their job and keep the place ...

At least, that is the actual military experience of the past century. But thats only because our airplanes are not transformers who can land and walk around! Eh, what I'm trying to say. How is the actual Military experience applicable to an Fantasy world, where the flying things also might be tanks...

Realizms is not the same as verisimilitude. Really? Because you sure as hell can't seem to tell the difference. What a witty response. If flyers conquer something (which is a normal ground-based civilization) without ever landing this does break verisimilitude unless they use some powers which actu...
