I do think the best version of it was True 20, which folded hit  points into saves, and powers into feats. All of which would be trickier with D&D, but doable. And yet as the enthusiasm for Pathfinder shows, going after that market is pretty pointless. They really have no ability to won those gamers over unless they made a new version of 3.5, in which case they would still be at a disadvantage.No, they need to go after the gamers who don't like  3.X/Pathfinder. It has to be an alternative, not a mirror image.Yes Pathfinder does have the rules online for free. In fact, I have made Pathfinder characters and can play in Pathfinder games, AND I have no reason to spend any money on any Pathfinder product. And so I won't.Pathfinder has made it so I don't need to ever give them my money. Just what would I be spending money on- their incredibly sexist artwork? Paizo is depending on old school players who just have to drop 100+ dollars on hardback books in order to feel like they're properly gaming. Which is silly from my perspective, since I can access the pfsrd.</blockquote>
