[QUOTE="thewok, post: 6256050, member: 60907"] I play in a monthly Shadowrun game. Two of the players live down in Houston, so sometimes they can't make it because of work. On these days, we've taken to other games. The current DM of the alt game wanted to do a campaign in his world. But, he doesn't do 4E. He does 3E. Back when I played 3E, I grew to greatly dislike some aspects of the game, to the point where, when 4E came along, I switched without looking back. The DM was convinced by our normal DM to run Pathfinder. I decided that I like the alt DM's style so much that I'd bite the bullet and go ahead. One of the things I utterly despise with 3E is Vancian casting. The Sorcerer and Favored Soul were the only casting classes that really made me not want to pull my hair out in actual play. Then, I found the Warlock, and I liked the idea of a caster that really never ran out of magic, even though his options might be more limited. So, I wanted to play that class, since the original campaign I was playing one in stopped at level 4 or so. The Warlock, like many 3.5 classes that haven't been released in Pathfinder books, is underpowered compared to Pathfinder classes. Pathfinder is a higher power level than plain-jane 3.X. So, I went on a quest to find a conversion for the warlock. I found one that gave it bloodlines like the PF Sorcerer. But it added spell slots, which I didn't want. I found a few others, but then I found one that stuck fairly closely to the Warlock as seen in Complete Arcane, but bumped up to mesh better with Pathfinder.

For the record, Pathfinder fixes a few things that I started hating about 3.x, but it kept some other big things, too. However, with this campaign, I'm just going to enjoy the game and not worry too much about the mechanics. I'll just spiderwalk, Fell Flight and eldritch spear my way to victory, while hoarding the party's magic items because I'm the only one who can use them besides the rogue. [/QUOTE]
