[QUOTE="Quartz, post: 6343588, member: 40552"] I think it's far too early to tell. That said, I'm going to speculate anyway! :) System-wise? The Pathfinder system never tempted me away from 3.5E + house rules. I never played 4E and didn't really like the system. 5E looks to be a move back towards 3.5E and seems to be very tempting for lower-level play. But one of the things 3.5E does very well is creating rounded characters via multi-classing and prestige classes (fighter / rogue being the classic); we've yet to see how 5E handles this. Another thing 3.5E does very well is high-level characters and monsters, particularly Epic; with its bounded accuracy, 5E may not handle this as well. As a company? Their work is top-notch and it would not take a lot of effort for them to support 5E. Paizo will thrive, and if 5E takes off I would not be surprised to see them absorbed into Hasbro / WoTC.
