There is a thread on the Paizo boards about "optimization" of characters, and "min/maxing" to get really combat efficient characters

Hey, can I share this with Master John and Duncan?? They would get a big kick out of this, as they are exploring D&D

[akitrom]

Absolutely.

Let me just say... WOOT FOR SUPPORTING PAIZO!

[akitrom]

Truthfully, I'm still sticking with D&D 3.5; I have an entire bookcase of materials for it, an active campaign with several pages of house rules tailored to D&D's peculiarities, and little interest in converting to the Pathfinder RPG system. As Paizo releases more and more books in the Pathfinder line, they drift farther from 3.5, and my interest in their work wanes.

But I certainly understand their position, and I credit them with some of the finest role-playing work on the market.

As you come over the top of the hill you see a gazebo.

What a nice icon.

In my current campaign, it's all mostly story-tellers. In a previous campaign, it was people a little closer to the middle of the continuum. When I run Pathfinder Society scenarios, where people bring in more-or-less random PCs, it's more combat-focused, but they don't have any teamwork experience.

As a player, I'm probably the most "commando"-style player in the campaign, but during the play session I'm always looking to see something interesting or have a fun time.
