Woo hoo grabbed my PDF already, and the print copy is on its way :)

Must be pretty popular as the site seems to be slow and/or temporarily down at times from getting hit hard for downloads.
 


I never understood the excitement about buying the print version of Pathfinder Beta. After all the 4e detractors whine and scream about it not being a complete edition or not being playtested enough they then go line up for an incomplete game and the chance to pay to be a playtester. Does not compute.
 

Somebody who has it want to give us a quick rundown (even changes from alpha 3)? Some of us can't get it till after work...
 

I was hoping the beta would be better than the disappointment that was the alpha version, but of course, that didn't happen. Oh well, I've got 4th edition, so I suppose there's no need for a poorly house ruled 3.5!
(I still love Paizo's adventures, though :p)

I would take issue with the "incomplete" description. The beta is a full system with all classes defined, races, equipment, spells, skills, feats, etc. This fact alone makes it more "complete" than the 4E PHB. I think you're describing it that way because it is a beta version of the rules. In that respect, yes, but I prefer to look at it as just not 100% polished yet. And the reality is, there will never be such a thing as a 100% polished rule set.
