Pro:
3rd Edition is the culmination and clarification of everything that has made Dungeons and Dragons the most popular roleplaying game
in
Why can't my elf become a druid?
There are now compelling reasons to be a human. Gnomes are no longer goofy. The classes make sense, and any character can multi-class. Any race
can be any class.
So, if you want to be a 1/2-orc wizard/ rogue/ paladin, go for it.
The game uses one mechanic, the d20 system, for almost all of the task resolution.
Gone are percentile rolls. Gone are cryptic saving throw charts.
One d20 roll will determine success or failure. And you must always roll high.
The rules are sort of a burden to read through, but once you do, tare incredibly smooth and elegant in practice.

Con:
3E is still essentially nothing more than wargaming with some rules for character interaction. It is a very detailed combat system.
