[QUOTE="Palocles, post: 5963370, member: 6696154"] Hi guys. I'm just going to get straight to business with my first post. Intros can wait. So i decided to go with Pathfinder but after i had already read 4E and there are several things i do like about 4th, particularly the higher level of fantasticalness of the Dragonborn and Teifling races instead of Gnomes and Half Orcs.
