[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 5789463, member: 59082"] Thanks [MENTION=95315]Saint Mac[/MENTION], that's very helpful. If anything it confirms both what I would hope for and fear from switching to Pathfinder: I'd hope for a more "classic D&D" game with tons of customizable options and some of the sacred cows that I miss (e.g. spell lists), but what I fear is [I]more [/I]complexity and confusion for players--most of whom are in their late 30s/early 40s and hadn't played D&D since the late 80s or early 90s when we started playing 4E a couple years ago, so they're not familiar with 3E. I am also a bit leery about Pathfinder prep time and would want to look into ways to "4Eify" it a bit. Obviously there's no Character Builder or Monster Builder, but are there any other tools to get around prep time? I'd rather spend my prep time world-building, coming up with plot hooks, drawing maps and such than creating intricate NPCs and monster stat blocks.
