I would like to request that THIS site is allowed for use. It contains everything on pathfinder. Including Pazio material and any 3rd party pathfinder stuff. It is also OLG, meaning that is is avaliable to anyone willing to look. And I think more options are always better. Right? I also like the neat layout of the site, allowing you to look up most things about a class in a single page, instead of having to look for things like class archetypes and Favored Class Bonuses.

No, that would make things too complicated unnecessarily and puts much more work on the GM. paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ Everything you'll ever need. =)

The only way I would agree with this is if the senate gets to look over the 3rd party material before it enters the game. Some of those companies come up with really bizarre stuff. That would complicate things a lot though and I doubt people want to pour over feats and spells when they don't even intend on using them for their own character so for now I think everyone should just stick to paizo published material, just to keep things simple while we get ourselves settled.

Why would it complicate things? Myself, I tried building a Psion, and was told by DM that we are only allowed to use the other site, even though he thought that psions are totally fine by him, he couldn't change allowed material w/o player agreement. 3rd party content isnt THAT OP. There are some crazy stuff, but 95% of 3rd party, is on the same level as core. Hell, some core is more OP than most 3rd party. But instead of Psion I could just go build a master summoner... that thing is fun

There are some things on the D20PFSRD website that are official Paizo materials which do not show up on the Paizo SRD, specifically the Grenadier archetype for alchemists as an example. I think material that is paizo published should be allowed if it can be sourced back to paizo, but the 3rd party stuff can get real hairy and ridiculous sometimes.

Paizo.com includes only content from the core books. If we include content from other paizo books then everyone will roll drow noble.

No they wont... Theres a restriction where we are only allowed normal races. But I think we should be allowed stuff like Psionics and such.
Edit: Just a thought: If as you say then wont the playing field be level? If EVERYONE is doing the same thing? (Since we are giving examples like this)

Psionics, maybe. That seems to me like a specific discussion. Allowing the entire contents of that OGL site is a bit bigger a dilemma. There's a 3rd party feat that gives you a second animal companion for basically nothing and plenty more absurdity which may work in certain campaigns but probably not one this big.

Hmm... That does seems OP. But are we allowed to use anythin on the Pazio.com site?

There's already been discussion of drow nobles. I've proved it's a legitimate race from the core books and is even on the site we use, as well as the one he's suggesting. The GM ruled that he did not want it in the game. So nya, there you go.
Anyways, I'm sadly a bit here with the others, we don't need third party stuff being thrown in and psionics in 3.5 were nightmarishly overpowered. I've heard good things of pathfinder's psionics but it still seems like a big risk for something that's unnecessary.

Psionics in 3.5 are OP? I guess you havent heard of chain-gating, team solars and planar binding. But if you guys are so against the apparently OP 3rd party, thats fine. Ill stick ONLY to Paizo site. Where's that leadership feat...

As far as I know, we're allowed anything that's on the Paizo SRD, going so far as to allow use of the custom race builder mechanics which the Ismark used. It isn't just core material.

Leadership is temporarily made useless at the moment, as there are no combat NPCs outside of summoned creatures. It looks like it might be implemented in the brood wars though which is good. Not that you have to worry about it for a while anyways.

... and yeah, much to my disdain the Leadership feat is not allowed yet.
Everything in 3.5 had the potential to be OP. EVERYTHING. I don't think anyone here is saying PF is without its faults, though, but some kind of conceptual continuity is a good thing to have in my opinion. The inclusion of all 3rd party material defeats any potential for that.
