The Ranger has better stealth abilities, better combat abilities, better spellcasting and a pet. The only thing the rogue has is trapfinding and even that is available to the ranger (though getting it hurts is stealth potentials). And the difference in the combat abilities is extreme, by 20th...

No camouflage, no hide in plain sight. They are much better in stealth than they are in combat, but considering how stealth is their shtick, one would think they'd be the class with the best stealth options.

Yeah, Swords of Subtlety are nice, although they aren't affordable until level 9 or so. Also there are people that don't allow further enchantment of specific weapons and armor. Still one of the best specific magic weapons.

Not to mention all the threads about bards being useless ... In my opinion, rogues have two major flaws in Pathfinder: 1. They don't hit. 2. They aren't that good in stealth. They were also very soft targets but with the change to offensive defense at least this problem got much smaller. Any...

The monk got brass knuckles and the Zen Archer archetype. The barbarian got some rather nice archetypes and rage powers. The rogue got the urban ranger which killed the rogue and took his stuff.

Powerful sneak should never be used. It's horrible. The only time it's useful is when you would only hit on a 20 without it or on a 2 when using it. The average damage per sneak die rolled is increased by less than 5 percent. Even without the penalty it would not be a very good choice since...

Or a revised Gunslinger.

It's just a 3.5 update of the class.

There are also MMOs where you can gain money by selling ingame items or characters.

Nice. I already have two sets of Ruins of the Wild, but this way, I should be able to create large areas.

The Warmaster from OWCs Genius Guide to the Warmaster (also reprinted in the Adventurer's Handbook) comes pretty close to the 3.5 marshal.

Well, the essential variants feel rather distinct, too. Or are you arguing that knights and slayers are too similar? Or scouts and hunters?

If there can be striker fighters, controller rangers and leader druids, there is certainly place for controller clerics and striker paladins.

Since the official character builder was often named the main reason third party supplements weren't succesful, will the dissatisfaction with the current web based character builder and the initiative for fan upgrades increase the willingness of players to use third party content?

This.

Even with only two rolls Perfect Strike nearly doubles your chance to crit. It becomes more appearant if you imagine a confirmation roll even without a threat. Say, your character needs a 15 to hit. The following combinations would be crits (20,15),(20,16),(20,17),(20,18),(20,19),(20,20)...

Considering that perfect strike greatly improves the chance of criting, improved critical might be a good choice, especially when combined with critical focus.

Constantly updated? Like including Dark Sun or Essentials? At least we got some support for the stuff released on GenCon. The Character Builder is probably a nice program, but its update schedule seems rather messed up at moment.

Dreamscarred Press - The Definitive Source for d20 Psionics › Forums › Rules & Mechanics › Pathfinder Dreamscarred Press has done a rather good job of converting the XPH to Pathfinder. They changed the Soulknife to a full BAB class, although they are going to do another Soulknife revision soon.

Faith and Social will be included in Magic and Combat.
