[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 4800905, member: 7635"] This quote is the most telling I've seen. Thanks for your reply. There has been some hyperbole on these (and other boards) that wistfully call Pathfinder "3.75", "the real 4th edition" or similar touts (not from Paizo staff, just some ardent enthusiasts). Now I know its mostly a reprint with some well-thought out house rules applied and some added depth at lower-levels. While I'm both happy to see Pathfinder remains close to its roots (for compatibility sake), I'm also dismayed to hear that many of my chief complaints will most likely still be there (even if in diminished form). As I always intended, I will examine (and more likely purchase) the rules in August, but its nice to know I should expect miracle fixes for some of my major complaints. (Without deriding the thread into a "3e does/doesn't do that" thread, my chief complaints are: Magic always trumps mundane skill, Big Six magic, CoDzilla, high level math, stacking bonuses, 15-min workdays, large monster stat-blocks & SLAs, and CR/EL balancing nightmares).
