That's nice. What do you enjoy about the system as opposed to D&D 3.5?
Well for starters I really like the additions to the spell casting classes. The inclusion of the Sorcerer bloodlines makes it so that you dont have to prestige out to do anything really cool with this class.
I really like the new Clerical Domains.
The addition of Favored Terrain for the ranger and you get to choose either bond with animal companion or party bond is neat.
They got rid of XP costs for spells and item creation.
There really is to much to say about how much I really like the pathfinder system. Plus I think that Paizo's subscription model's for the Pathfinder products are genius. As much as I try and support my local game store, they don't stock the books that I want, so I order straight from paizo and get PDF copies of the books free along side of them.
At the very least check it out. There are some good free resources on the Paizo website. http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/
and there are a ton of other sites out there that review the Pathfinder material. Another good resource for it is http://35privatesanctuary.com. If you go into his links section there are pathfinder and 3.5 resources together.
All that aside I apologize for the brief bash on 4th ed. My main gripes with 4th ed are that it just seems to overly balanced to me, to the point that character customization is pointless, and my group is probably one of the few groups that really like long drawn out overly detailed battle's, 4th ed battle system is to fast. Probably why our current campaign is going on its 5th year of every saturday night play.
