[QUOTE="Renfield, post: 5155135, member: 13493"] I don't think you're off base. Sometimes people just don't click with something. I personally like the Combat Maneuver system they created and recognize that the old system wasn't nearly as complicated as people thought if you just took a moment to read the rules. I just liked how the new stuff flowed. I liked the changes to the classes... well... most of them. I, however, hated the changes that were made to the spells. They seemed to go too far in the nerfing department. In the end it comes down to what your tastes are. If the system isn't what you're looking for take what you like from it and blend it with what you like from 3.x. Or maybe check out the other 3.75 type systems out there. True 20 is a good one, so is Trailblazer (or what I've seen of that one) there was a rather massive 3.x variant system published but I can't recall the name of it >.< Unfortunately the search for the 'perfect' RPG is difficult and depends on what you're looking for. I loved trying to work with the PRPG but it was clear people wanted something different from my preferences. In the end I thought they got it %70 right for me which was better than what 3.5 had it. Not sure if that helps but there's little you can do. Thankfully if you like the PRPG products like the AP's or the campaign setting you can easily use those with 3.5 with little difficulty. Hell, I've run a variant Golarion for 4th edition ever so briefly. Good luck in getting it to work for you or finding something else that does. [/QUOTE]
