I enjoy pathfinder, I started playing rpg with 3.5 and while I have tried 4e multiple times, I simply do not like it.
As for charracters I play "I like meat shields, they stop the badies from reaching me as I kill them" in essence, I like casting and I like range fighting. I have made and played support (healer/buffer) and melee, but prefer to be the fireballing mage or long shot archer
