[QUOTE="TiwazTyrsfist, post: 7035896, member: 70582"] Hey, I posted this on the Paizo Pathfinder forums, but thought I'd post here as well. I'm new to Pathfinder and the Pathfinder Society. I've played D&D since 2nd ed, and I've played a lot of D&D Adventurer's League. I'm pretty familiar with D&D 3.5, but I know Pathfinder has grown and refined a lot since then. So I have a couple questions. 1> Given that I know D&D 3.5, what are the biggest mechanical differences in pathfinder? What systems do I need to read in particular so I don't slow down games or try to use wrong rules that have changed? 2> Reading the Pathfinder Society stuff, I see that there's both 'Standard' using all the first party Paizo books, and also 'Core' using JUST the Pathfinder Core rule book. How common are Core games at events like cons or gamedays? Should I both to make a Core character as well as a Standard Character, or am I likely to always be able to find Standard games at events? 3> I have the Core book, and PDFs of Advanced Player's Guide, Advanced Class Guide, Ultimate Combat, and Pathfinder Unchained. What other books would you say are 'Must Haves' and which books would you say are 'Nice to have, but not 100% necessary'? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
