Honestly WotC backed them into a corner and left them little choice.What I would like to see out of the Pathfinder game is the core rules be not that far off form 3.5 so those that want can easily use their stuff. But I would also like to seem them add in a host of optional rules that really take apart and fix some of the problems with 3.5 No by doing this they can't fix all the problems but they could fix a lot of them and the ones they can't they can make less of a issue.Then they can still capture those that wanted 3.5 and just a upgrade and options lets them tap into the end of the 3.5 style books and those that liked them but think 4e is just going to far with the changes.The only decision they made that I question is, announcing Pathfinder when they did. I think a better thing to do would have been to say they have decided to support the 3.5 for now as they are out of time and do not have the GSL in hand for Gencon products. Then announce the Pathfinder RPG and just say. Hey we are going to start alpha testing it and want your help. We are looking at option for a future and decided this is one of our options is to create our own game and support it. Once we get enough feedback, gotten the GSL and 4e rules and seen how the market looks later in the year we will make a decision. Of course that might have backfired and not created enough of a stir to attract people to rally around their banner too. So not sure if it was a good or bad decision how they did it, only time will tell. But I am glad it is a option and they are exploring all their options. I wish them the best and plan to keep a eye on Pathfinder RPG and take part in the alpha and beta testing.</blockquote>
