General Discussion (Prerelease)


I'm getting my friend in the USA to order a copy of Pathfinder for me. He gets free hi res printing and binding and offered to print out the PDF for free so I accepted an extra couple of copies for thje group and I wanted to throw some $$$ Paizo's way.

Haven't bought anything Paizo related since Dungeon/Dragon died. Wanted to get Pathfinder Chronicles but had a slight economic downturn (lost job, got another one on less $$$$).

Don't know how much I'll play Pathfinder as I might switch over to 4th ed once it becomes interesting enough (we switched back to 3.5 warts and all).

Stupid Paizo quality and loyalty. I think I'll also buy the final version even if never play it. I'll consider it the money I haven't spent on Dragon/Dungeon for the last year or so (up your WoTC as well I'm petty so what?)

Do you think that will happen? Did you switch back becasue the lack of options, or because you didn't like the game?


Not sure. Spme parts of 4th ed are brilliat but I don't really like the chapter on classes in the PHB. I played D&D minis and 4th ed feels like an advanced form of that with RPG elements.

4th ed was fun to play/DM but as a bit shallow and didn't seem to work with DM and 3 players very well as its a team based system ad we didn't have a complete team.


You didn't like the class chapter. In other words: 90% or so of the Player's Handbook, and basically 90% of what defines characters in 4e?

I fear that game is lost to you.

It's interesting to hear that you didn't think you were complete with 3 characters, that you thought something was missing. It always sounded like they made certain that no role was really required.

That describes me. The major thing that I really can't stand is the whole powers mechanic, but in actual gameplay, that element has overshadows everything else. Unfortunately, this is where I part company with D&D.


OUr group didn't have a striker (only 3 PC's) I added a NPC rogue but its annoying for a PC or the DM to control the characcter. The classes feel to band and boring ATM for me to really get into it. Don't like everything Paizo is doing either but I cna use 3.0/3.5 for the aprts I don't like and houserule the rest.
