[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 5218015, member: 336"] I found it not to my taste, so I can't really "sell" you on it. We played the Savage Tide campaign using Pathfinder. It was unsatisfying because of the changes. What I found was a lot of annoying little changes, similar to when 3.5 came out and made a lot of little changes that made you go back and double-check everything. In addition they increased the power level of all classes, which made most of our previous 3.5 books a lot of trouble to balance out with the current classes. We had a few of the players that had classes from Arcana Unearthed, Complete Warrior, etc. Those players were always playing second fiddle to the much more powerful Pathfinder Classes. Higher levels are still very difficult to run and balance. I'd say it's even harder since the classes are more powerful. They did change some things for the better. They made things like trip, disarm, grapple, etc., simpler to use. They even balanced some spells better. However, druids, clerics and wizards still reign supreme at higher levels, and you definitely don't want to try to incorporate any of the previous books to work with them. Overall, I found the system had some good ideas, but not enough of the things that had plagued our games got fixed satisfactorily. As far as the Paizo adventures go, they are very good and I would highly recommend them. We still use them for our games with other game systems. [/QUOTE]
