Seriously.

Us CharOp regulars in the 4E forums do a very good job of finding "bugs" in the system. In our quest to build the most powerful characters, we expose the hard-to-find loopholes and flaws in the rules that the playtesters missed.

So how about it, almighty moderators? Can we have a CharOp forum for Pathfinder?


I like 4E. I like how it consolidated 3.5's numerous subsystems into one consistent system for all classes, and I like its elegant simplicity.

I also like Pathfinder. I like how it added new options to otherwise bland classes like the fighter and the sorcerer. I also like how it is backwards-compatible with my 3.5 books.

What I don't like is the general notion in these boards that you have to choose between one or the other, but not both. They are not mutually exclusive. Preaching against 4E or Pathfinder does not make you more of a loyal fan to either game.

So let's all calm down and remember that D&D is NOT serious business. Don't overthink it, don't fret too much about it, and remember to have fun playing it.

Edit: Ooooooh! This is interesting. I recognize several posters here from the 4E forums. And it sounds like they actually like both games.


Hello, my name is Joseph Silver, and I play D&D through MapTool. I thought I'd give Pathfinder a try. Is there anyone running Pathfinder through MapTool here?

I want to help playtest the system, so I'd appreciate having as few house rules as possible.
