So what are you Pathfinder players/dms been up to? Running any adventure paths? Whats your character’s build/concept? 1st edition or 2nd edition? Just wanted to make a post for a general discussion.

    I have to say I think I’m leaning more towards 3.5 for the flavor and a slight bit more grittiness and somewhat lower HP. But it doesn’t preclude me from moving on towards PF1e if I see rules gaps, or mixing and matching.

    I wouldn’t be altogether too surprised of Baker launches a new setting under the ORC license, since he’s discussed working on a new one.

      As a long time player of 3.5e and Pathfinder, I would go with Pathfinder. Although I love the aesthetics of 3.5e and that whole era, the balance changes that Pathfinder brought makes it more fun for everyone.

      Yeah he was talking about a wild west themed “wandslinging” new area for Eberron, and now he’s thinking about just making it its own thing. If anyone can make that idea work, its Keith Baker.

        Can I just merge the better rules and balance changes (grappling) into 3.5?

        It does seem like the explanation of rules in 3.5 may be messier than how they’re explained in PF.

          Although Pathfinder and 3.5e are very similar since Pathfinder was made to be a better 3.5e, they are still two different systems. You usually can’t just take stuff from 3.5e and put it into Pathfinder, you need to convert it and change it. A lot of rules and subsystems have been changed, too much for me to go into in a comment. I would do some more research on it, but I would still suggest just sticking with Pathfinder.
