[QUOTE="kitsune9, post: 5388658, member: 18507"] Well, I can help you with Pathfinder. Pros 1. All the crunchy goodness from 3.5 updated with a new take on the traditional classes. 2. Streamlined resolution for things like grapple, disarm, sunder, etc. 3. Revision to a lot of spells from 3.5, but nothing truly major. 4. Compatible with 3.x Cons 1. If you had serious problems with 3.5, Pathfinder is probably not going to brighten your mood. 2. Pathfinder is a more powered up version of 3.5 with more feats and class abilities. If you're looking from something more scaled back or powered down, this isn't it. 3. The same level of prep time involved in 3.5 is still required in Pathfinder which is dependent upon your experience and own sense of efficiency. I'm a big fan of Pathfinder, but I know that there's a lot of other cool games out there other than just this one. Here's another one I can recommend for you as well--Warhammer FRP 2e. While I own 3e as well, I haven't played it yet so I can give you the pros and cons breakdown. Warhammer FRP 2e Pros 1. Easy streamlined mechanics (everything uses d10 or d100). 2. Grim and gritty if you like it. 3. Lots of career options and a more well-developed magic system. Cons 1. You'll have to look for 2e as it's not supported since the newest edition is 3e. 2. If you're into long-term campaigns, this is probably too grim and gritty to make that a reality without having to introduce houserules and such. Best of luck to your search and happy gaming! [/QUOTE]
