At the time it was cool because it streamlined a lot of things but what eventually turned me away from the game was the fact I couldn't play a character from the D&D related novels. There was too many nos in the rules, then 3E came out and I loved D&D once again.My biggest problem with 3E was the character creation rules. Following the rules in the book and looking at the stats of npcs in the modules you had to wonder why you were playing mooks and the dm was following a very different set of rules. That is one of the things I love about Pathfinder, the NPCs use the same point buy system as the PCs for the most part in the printed modules, I just hate the Frankenstein feel of the Pathfinder world.I do think that WOTC is going to alienate more customers than they bring in with each new edition that totally changes the previous edition (like 3rd to 4th ed.). Look at the Forgotten Realms, they had to jump over 100 yrs on the timeline and create the Spellplague. Never mind that the novels and continuity was one of the most popular features of that campaign world. We're just going to kill off all the characters you liked to read about and you'll just have to suck it up.</blockquote>
