I think my main beef is that I dont play the PnP enough anymore to buy a new set of books and learn a whole new system, lol. I think I can deal with it on a computer game.

Books Shmooks! I went out and bought the books, and it was nothing that I couldn't have figured out by looking at the screen for a while! Believe me, I am no rocket scientist!

You seem quite intelligent, I don't see how you will have any problem absorbing these new rules.

It's not the difficulty of learning, it's the money more than anything, and I didnt quit playing because of the new edition, i just didnt have time to play much anymore. So I'm sure I could learn the system w/o a prob, it's just that I dont play enough anymore to justify the expense. I can always borrow books >)

Here is another class combo: Bard/Paladin "The Courtisan"

skilled in the ways of poetry and song to woo the ladies, the courtisan would also need to be capable in the ways of piety and combat in order to attain the vestments of knighthood.

How's that?

I dunno about that one. If I was the DM, I would have problems with that. I'm not saying a paladin cant be friendly with the ladies (in a wholesome manner), but I very much doubt a paladin would spend his time writing love songs and poetry to 'woo' them. Not in my campaign anyway.

These arts were considered essential in court life during the Middle ages. Also a Samurai, which is similar to a Paladin these were necessary skills, required to maintain thier honor. Who says that a paladin can't be a courtier? They are similar if not the same as a knight. But that is just me!

I'm not saying a paladin cannot be courteous, cultured, and artistic, I'm saying a paladin would not sit around and think of ways to get women. The main difference between a paladin and the classic knight (although a paladin surely can be a knight) is the level of religion. It just reminds me of a bishop hanging out at a singles bar (insert your own joke here).

I'm not sure if I completely understood this but in 3e you will allways hit if your attack eh....skill is higher than the enemy AC correct?

IMO that's stupid, what's the point with leather armor anymore? If you can't wear plates you propably won't keep up with the enemy attack skill at all.

Yo, steady now, it's not THAT easy.
Your attack role has to by higher than the AC.
And some AC's can go VERY high.
