Do you get the impression more people have left 3.5 for 4th?

[QUOTE="marv, post: 5440497, member: 52903"] I will bite. What are these hidden little changes that bug you in PF? In my experience XP's changes to 3.5 have mostly improved the game. I still have some mixed feelings, for example changing "undead turning" into "Channel Energy" as turning undead has mainly remained the same mechanic since day 1 of the game. However, I must admit Channel Energy is a more consistent mechanic to the rest of the game. One of the things I really appriciate about 3rd Edition is that WoTC started with a design document (a simple two page document). It is clear to me that Channel Energy fulfills the Streamlining requirment. The Paizo game designers seem to know what they are doing. And more importantly, they seem to care about the game in a way I know longer see at WoTC. My bottom line is that I will be playing DnD for the rest of my life. Any version or game company that keeps the game alive to help me meet that goal is gold for me. I hope Hasbro either figures out where the pasion went and reboots DnD in my lifetime. [/QUOTE]
