[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5738458, member: 21076"] I agree. If you are looking to go back to 3.x type system, Pathfinder would be an excellent choice. Keeping in mind I tend to think this issue was a bit exaggerated in several cases (or at least this didn't seem to be a major issue in our 3.x campaigns)... Pathfinder did seek to make sure there were no dead levels for characters as they advanced which ups the power level of a lot of classes a bit. In my current campaign the fighter and paladin still shine quite frequently. Where the wizard has his moments of glory it is against a larger number of critters. So when that chain lightning fires off it does have devastating effect in that he can really spread the damage about. Against single foes that are designed to be a reasonable challenge the fighter and paladin do just fine in damage output in comparison to the wizard in the group. No epic ruleset as DaveMage stated. I think they are a good purchase. There is a lot of fun to be had with this system. [/QUOTE]
