[QUOTE="Summer-Knight925, post: 5680705, member: 80297"] So I was brought into D&D by my father, I played with my older brother and dad through many characters and three settings. My brother is leaving for the navy soon and will most likely not be able to play in a few months (unless by some chance they turn him away for medical reasons) which leaves me and my dad. My dad is the type of gamer who cares nothing for the rules. We want to switch to pathfinder, but he want's to stay in eberron and use 3.5 feats and classes and monsters. And rules... this seems small, but when he want's to keep the XP cost of magic items (something pathfinder has done away with) and keep the artificer just the way it is, it's a bit much. Dragon marks and races and..well while he says "there is no difference" I simply pull up the sorcerer in pathfinder and compare to teh sorcerer in D&D, same with teh fighter, and with the bard, and the barbarian, and the cleric, and so on. I show how monsters are different and treasure is different and while it is very similar in rules, there are enough differences where clashing teh two together makes me unhappy. So this has lead me to realize that my style of play just does not go good with his style. So how do you tell your dad you don't want to play with him anymore? [/QUOTE]
