I am considering getting into pathfinder for several reasons. The novelty of D&D 4e has worn off and the person I play most D&D is tired and wants to go back to 3e. Looks like pathfinder would be the way to go if we are going to play a game based on 3e and it sounds like they have done a lot of good work. I have some questions though:
1) One of the problems I had with 3e is that it highly favored casters as levels progressed. If you weren't a caster you were often limited in your ability to be versatile or for heavy damage output in a lot of scenarios. Does Pathfinder address this?
2) Does pathfinder deal with "epic" levels well? the D&D 3e system for epic i felt was incredibly open ended to the point where it was hard keep things balanced. And it accentuated the issues I have in #1 above. If you were' t a caster with epic spells you needed to work with one.
Thanks for any feedback. I'm thinking of buying the core book for me and both main books for my brother as a xmas gift but would like some feedback before spending $$ on it.
