I wouldn't think that many crazy Amazon.com or .ca marketplace prices are actually being paid. Take this RPG accessory for example: Changeling: The Lost Dice Set. Do you think anyone will really pay $171.28 (Amazon.ca) for a new set of these dice? I quite doubt it, especially when Amazon.com has...

Thanks for the extra suggestions pawsplay. I don't know where I would find another copy of the 3.5 DMG II (not in-print, is it?).

Thanks for the excellent response, Iron Wolf (seems it won't let me give you another thumb).

Goal I want to learn how to be a Pathfinder RPG Dungeon Master. Experience Roleplaying Games (table-top): None. D&D-based RPGs (video games): Baldur's Gate II: Shadow's of Amn, Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Baal, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Neverwinter Nights. Notes - I...

I wanted to avoid taking over the other n00b topic with a question that is not of the same idea. I read in the core rules that instead of choosing to go to another level (say level 6), I could choose to go to level 1 in another class. My character would still be a level 6 character. There is...

Is there a list in the Core Rules of preferred abilities for each class? For example, INT (and CON/DEX based on your post) for a Wizard. I have not seen any and am trying to figure out the general strengths of each. All I know is that a Cleric wants WIS. A Paladin wants WIS and CHA. A Fighter...

The closest thing that I have seen to a live session for Pathfinder RPG are these 4 "planning" videos. There may be other actually playing from this guy, since it says 1 of 10, but these are all I found from his list of videos. Part 1: YouTube - Actual game play from yesterday's...

I can take a bus down to Chapters for free again (student bus pass), sit down for 2 hours (again) and look through the Pathfinder Core Rules (gotta love the freedom of Chapters). Amazon.com charges $7 for shipping to Canada (minimum) and also customs fees (approximately Canadian taxes). In the...

Looks like WotC designed Essentials to fix people's dislike for 4e. I just browsed the WotC forums, some unhappy people there. Errata wouldn't be so bad if they would reprint it into their books once every year or so. One and a half years later and PF core rules is on a third printing. Why...

Thanks for the reply. I have decided to get Pathfinder. The $60 I listed was Canadian, as that is the cost of the Core Rules and Bestiary from Amazon.ca. I am a University student from Amazon.ca does not offer this plan that you mentioned (to my knowledge). As for the Essentials, the Rules...

I agree with what you say completely. However, if I am going to purchase a $33 book (Core Rules), I am also going to purchase the Bestiary. Since I have an Amazon gc for $50, I would rather save having to pay shipping on an order under $39 (Canada is not $25 for free shipping, like the USA)...

The only thing I regret is not what I choose, but why it took me this long to start one of these. I never was on a forum board that replied so promptly and with so many responses. Both this 4e board and the Pathfinder boards are excellent. Thanks EN World users!

Well, I really appreciate all of the replies I received. I have looked a lot at the Essentials Players book and the Pathfinder Core Rule Book at chapters earlier today and I definitely like the look and read of the Pathfinder book. I wouldn't consider a purchase a waste if I could read it in the...

@ Obryn & AngryMojo, While I agree with the advantages that everyone is stating with 4e: Character Builder and Monster Builder online. The only thing is I WANT books and I don't want to be left out of PHB characters. I want to have the books so that I can sit and read through the characters when...

Since my thank you comment was inadvertently cut-off (hit enter too quickly). I didn't realize that level progression took this long (1-1.5 years). That's not a bad idea, to change it to medium. I will have to look over the characters and classes first-hand. If I got 2 months of weekly play out...

Thank you everyone for your quick, helpful, and in-depth posts. I am not as afraid of the imbalance as I was. I guess my mind thinks 3.5-clone so old. Also, I had worries of not findings many opponents. However, I am sure if can play this online with others, if needed (despite wanting to get...

I recently posted this topic in the Pathfinder (legacy) forum and it was suggested that I repost it here to avoid biased responses. I am leaning more towards getting Pathfinder, but I have still been putting a lot of thought into D&D 4e. I have read nearly every Pathfinder v D&D 4e thread that I...

I thought I would give my thought process for any of those interested with my decision between Pathfinder and D&D 4e (which included looking up the differences between Pathfinder and D&D 3.5) to fully understand. I have been comparing Pathfinder with D&D 4e. I have never played an RPG, but I...
