[QUOTE="Shoe, post: 5162063, member: 89612"] I am an oldschool D&D player at heart, i still play 3.5 and splash elements of 2.0 and even 1.0 into my games. I recently have been considering getting into pathfinder as I love the 3.5 system for the most part, and it appears that Pathfinder has ironed out some kinks from the system. However it seems that several changes in pathfinder arent very "traditional" in that all the races get an extra +2 to a stat now, classes get a TON more abilities and all sorts of other stuff has been changed dramatically. So i have a few questions: 1. people who have been playing since 2nd edition, what do you think of pathfinder? Does it feel like classic D&D? 2. How does Item creation work, I LOVE that you do not loose XP now, but what DO you do? 3. I am not so big on balancing the rules as I am the flavor of the game and the RP being a good simulation of real life + fantasy. Does the changes to the base classes that were made to make them less weak take away from the realism? 4. How hard is it to use CR on 3.5 monsters with pathfinder. I notice that they do not use CR any more and I am a DM 1st and a player second so if this change is big and for the better I will be excited. THanks, Shoe [/QUOTE]
