[QUOTE="malkav666, post: 5062714, member: 70565"] I have been playing Pathfinder since its release last year and have been very happy with it. If you did not really like 3.x then there is a good chance that PF may not be your cup of tea. But if you did (even if you thought it was plagued with imbalances) Pathfinder might be worth checking out. They took a real hard look at the 3.x ruleset and fixed a lot of issues. Do issues still remain? Sure they do. But every set of rules has its issues. Pathfinder also has a pretty rockin' community. I see their developers, writers, the publisher, the CEO, hell even the shipping golems, interacting with the fans on a regular basis. Giving everything from reasoning on company strategies, to soliciting feedback on future products, to offering houserules advice. They just seem very accessable to the fanbase. I have been very impressed with the rules, the flavor, and the environment in the Pathfinder camp. Check out the PFSRD, and I beleive that Paizo has a free adventure for download on their site. (You will have to convert grapple to CMB/CMD, but there is a doc on the site telling you how to do it, and after you do one the conversion so simple you will be able to do it in your head on the fly). I suggest you download the adventure and try running it with the new rules and see if you like it. Then you can use the most informed opinion on Pathfinder that there is on the subject: Your Own. I could tell you its the best thing since sliced cheese, but you will just have to try it yourself and make your own judgement. And you can do so for a 0$ investment. love, malkav [/QUOTE]
