Although honestly?  I don't even think that player would exchange his Pathfinder for 4E for the simple fact that if he liked roleplaying enough to buy these books in the first place, he probably would want to hang onto his Pathfinder book in case he ever got into another Pathfinder game.  We never know what's going to happen.  I know this is why I still own my 3.5 books even though I'm currently playing 4E... I never know when a 3.5 game might pop up.So again... the Black Diamond results are not (to me) surprising at all.</blockquote>
