I got Pathfinder the day the book was out, and when I started to read it, I was amazed. It was exactly what my group needed. It is not a perfect system, but as far as I can tell, now every class is fun to play, fun to level up and gives itself well to a variety of character concepts (it was the case with 3.5, but often I didn't want to take a certain class because it was boring).
Now the hype machine cooled down, and I started to read the book and judge it a bit more, and I must say it is still the perfect system for my group, aside from one thing: Prestige Classes. They just seem so... Useless now.
I've rolled myself a Paladin for the campaign we are in right now, and I was planning on taking some levels in a prestige class, even though I didn't know which one, but now? No way, losing class features is just something I don't want to do. My friend rolled a wizard, and he said the same thing, he does not want to lose his school powers.
Now, I know it's kind of ironic to say this since a complaint I heard a lot on the boards is how some classes like Wizard were not meant to be taken for 20 levels, and now that they are I still whine about it.
Well, yes and no. I'm more whining about how they made the prestige classes so unatractive. Aside from the Pathfinder Chronicler (which is awesome for a bard) most prestige class give me that "It's nice, but not enough that I'll lose class features for this" feeling.
I guess I'm just wondering what the rest of the board think about it, and if I'm just some kind of whiny kid :smalltongue:.
