[QUOTE="paladinm, post: 5880011, member: 6687937"] This is a very sincere question that I hope everyone will take in the spirit intended. I have been involved with D&D (in all its many manifestations) since the LBB's. I suppose my greatest interest has been in BECM, for it's completeness and elegant simplicity, and 3.5 for its greatly streamlined mechanics and character options. Since 4.0 came out, I have still clung to 3.5, but have also gone back to enjoying BECM. A few years ago, I started checking out Pathfinder. While I appreciate that PF is keeping D20 alive and thriving, my impression of PF has largely been one of power-creep. At least at first glimpse, most of the changes involve giving characters more class features, feats, etc. To be honest, a lot of this seems very unnecessary to me; and the insane proliferation of feats is one thing that eventually turned me off about 3.5. Other than buffing up characters all along the spectrum, what are some reasons to consider PF? What are some of the things that have been improved or cleaned-up from 3.5? Gracias! [/QUOTE]
